Miyagi-Do Karate

For everyone who said they are calm, I look forward to your manic posts like 5 minutes into the game in the gameday thread.

Considering just the Steelers game, we only punted once in the second half. That too was probably only because Knox dropped a wide open pass, and Josh took a weirdly bad sack, so we were sitting at like 3rd and 17. I really think if you want to pinpoint the main issue it’s that the players need to come out of halftime with more focus and energy and urgency. Start as fast as you do at the beginning of the game.

I think a lot of that though is execution. Dropped ball, bad sack, bad penalty, etc. I think the plays are there, but mistakes have tended to derail some of our second half drives.

agree. I would put money on the Niners not making it to the Super Bowl. Teams like that have to play from ahead and pretty much error free. If another team can get out in front, it is over for them. they are a great team, but not built to win a super bowl.

I was out of town and missed the UNC game. But they looked good against Pitt tonight. Best shooting effort of the year.

agreed. I think we need to keep contain on the edge and collapse the pocket from inside. But even then, he can step up and juke out a spy or make some insane throw.

Josh is absolutely going to light the chiefs up. Their defensive game plan is based on all those disguised pressures, and in arrowhead, Josh is constantly dealing with the noise in trying to get to the right plays and projections. Won’t have any of those issues this week. i am predicting a monster game by him.

I believe he is on his way. He just takes those giant slow strides, So it is taking him a while.

I think they would cut cook in a second to sign Fournette.

that stinks. He needed to stay patient. I think there is obvious opportunities here for him down the stretch with injuries and renewed focus on running game. maybe Baltimore signs him?

Agreed, except for hussey?! No thanks!!

this is a classy move. the dome decision has been made, right or wrong. But props to him for the shout out for those that braved the conditions.

Agreed. There should be some “good faith defense” in that situation. The refs should huddle And use their common sense as to whether there was an intent to let up, and how severe the hit is.

i can’t go there. It is like sensory overload. Has to be the worst formatted message board in sports history.

haha. I will say— to your original point, it is encouraging he is progressing!

The common denominator is the Bills exposed both those teams, and the league copied a lot of what the Bills did.

I can’t tell which is real time and which is the slow mo, because that’s about the slowest spin move I have seen.

That is great. He called out Klein and Elam too in the post-game speech clips from the locker room.

including on their first TD!! It was so clear.

It’s amazing how similar kicking is to golf. He just needs to get into a rhythm. The cold didn’t help today too.

The one guy we absolutely must have back is Taron.

May be a turning point in elam’s career!

Agreed. Called a great game. I don’t understand the recent criticisms of him. He offers actual x and o analysis— probably the only guy that does so.

There were a number of plays that I think qualify for the “play of the game”— i.e., without it, the game could have gone the other way. Elam pick, Josh Allen 4th down sneak conversion, Shakir TD, etc. what do you got?
