K-9

Uh oh, not good for GB; Booger says SF starting to impose their “wheel.”

If Wittless says “torque” one more time, I’m gonna skewer my ears.

Well, he is undefeated as a starter vs. the Colts, after all. I’m sure McDermott will give that a ton of weight in his deliberations. Unfortunately.

Which is weird, because as a long time defensive coach in this league, he is well acquainted with what a good QB looks like after breaking down thousands of hours of game film studying them.

There is no way Peterman plays next Sunday unless Allen can't go and Anderson gets injured. No. Way.

I fully understand that. But his denial doesn’t stem from knowing Peterman sucks and not being able to say that publicly, which I agree with, btw. It stems from the triggered defense mechanism associated with knowing just how badly they’ve screwed the pooch on the QB situation and it being too late to do anything about it. It’s a natural psychological phenomenon. I’m simply pointing that out. If he is forced to start Peterman, it will be an act of cruelty.

McDermott is in denial. Not a desirable trait in a head coach.

I can see the Chargers beating them for the division but I can’t see them missing on a wild card birth if they stay relatively injury free to key personnel.

The sad part about your post is that it’s true. Quite the commentary on the state of political affairs.

Eli stayed one year too long as it is. He is just no longer capable of helping a “contender” who is just a QB away from making the playoffs, let alone a team that is far more away than just a QB on offense.

Yeah, I’m sure Fitz could get the most out of this group of receivers. Just look at his masterful work in getting Evans, Jackson, and Howard to shine in Tampa. They were nothing before Fitz unlocked their skills. I see no reason why he couldn’t do the same with Benjamin , Jones, and Clay.

It really can’t. It’s a simple matter of geometry. Passing from the pocket gives you the most available field to exploit and forces defenses to defend more area. Once in a while you can roll out and hit a big play or two, but not consistently. Especially against great defensive coaches like Belichick.

It really is that simple.

As you alluded to, he was referring to Houston and their questionable play calling that resulted in Watson getting badly beat up for the second game in a row.

Again, I don’t disagree. But it’s a two possession game with a half to play, KC’s poor run defense notwithstanding. That said, it looked like Mahomes was pressing things on that INT, for sure. Not what we’ve seen the first six games from him.

I don’t disagree. I just see that as KC being forced to change tactics due to the game situation, not as Mahomes pressing. Reid will have to force the issue more and if Mahomes panics, then I’d say he’s pressing. It’s early yet, though, lot of football to be played.

That’s a possibility, sure. But he doesn’t strike me as the pressing type so far.

It’s the reverse image of our situation in Buffalo. Mahomes is going to settle down and hit guys that have been wide open.

Are you suggesting that the other teams sometimes have great players who make great plays, too? Inconceivable!

If not for the bounce of the ball on that forced fumble on Houston's last drive, Peterman is lining up in the victory formation and we win that game. So Fing close!

Speaks volumes and helps explain our seven sacks, too. Tre had a tough assignment and handled it as well as I could have expected; perhaps better. And these clueless refs were pre-wired to call him for crap, too. The holding they tried to call on him ON A RUNNING PLAY in the first quarter was an eye opener; luckily the flag was picked up after the umpire explained the rules to the idiot who threw the flag. And the one they did flag him for was a bad call. Houston thought nobody could cover him one on one, especially Watson, who time and time again tried to find him, took too long in doing so, and paid the price. Understandable, given Hopkins' crazy skill set. But Tre opened their eyes today.

Oh, absolutely. He's fantastic. While most of my posts have been tongue in cheek, I thought LA would struggle a little more in the Denver air and elements; it can be a hard place to play. Hats off to LA.

Can't hear you! What did you say?!

White shouldn't reduce himself to Rohack's level. Anybody who watched that game who knows a damned thing, knows that he contained Hopkins pretty much all day and that's no easy task. More importantly, the players know it. Hopkins is going to the HOF and has been playing lights out. Hats of to Tre and the D for their performance.

In that case, they should take him out now before he does something worse than pull his hammy!
