“in the game” of what?

I didn’t realize Dick Jauron coached the Chargers now. 4th and 2 punt at the 50. 4th and 1 FG. But don’t worry— the chargers plan on playing field position and trusting their defense against Mahomes. I am sure that will work out great for them.

Agree re Eberflus. That’s why I thought it was super smart for the bears to hire him. Think he was an outstanding coach for the Colts.

Re Howard, Darius Leonard was out for the Colts— that could have had something to do with it. He is their best player on defense by a mile.

i actually was wondering if I would go to that game if someone paid me money, and I believe the answer would be “no.”

football is really only meant to be played at 1 PM on Sunday’s.

division games are weird; there will be lots of close games and losses between those teams.

Hackett should have hired the old mr. Khaki pants data analytics department that marrone and him use to consult with!

Hackett was agonizing over that play call sheet all night. It was between run left, run right, bootleg left, bootleg right. Lot of choices.

what was he doing there? Calling timeouts before the snap. Was that for dramatic effect?

I actually am thinking that could be one of the worst coaching decisions I have ever seen. It’s like when Jauron would be ultra conservative all game, but then call a high risk play at the absolute worst and wrong time to lose the game.

Interesting data analytics there by the boy genius Hackett. Not like he has Russell Wilson as his starting QB and onlY needs 5 yards and has two timeouts.

Don’t worry— these spot challenges have an extremely High chance of success. And it’s not like the Seahawks could use the TO in a 1-point game.

ha! Bills fans have short memories. The fans were complaining about the red zone woes for most of the regular season last year!

i will say this about Hackett— he at least has their running game going. But it is a very basic offensive scheme. Extremely predictable passing game. He has Russell Wilson— he can really open it up with a QB like that!

Amazing that these refs actually call delays of game!

if teams want to amplify volume through stadium design, which is basically no different than some teams illegally pumping sound in— whatever. But then to try to suggest that Seattle has these great loud fans is so disingenuous.

Wow— should have kept Fangio. This defense doesn’t know how to tackle anymore.

Drives me nuts that Brandon Staley is now this so-called genius, when he just uses The defense he learned under Fangio.

its only like 10 people booing him. Those nerds re-designed the stadium to increase the volume 1000x fold.

There is actually a pretty easy and proven way to slow him down. You get a defensive end to line up wide and jam him hard at the line— don’t let him free release. A few teams have done this with him (saints come to mind) and it was shown to be very effective. I don’t know know why more teams don’t do this— I am assuming there is a significant downside (maybe taking away one of your pass rushers basically).

The Durant reference is spot on. A bball player with a really bad “calf strain”— just asking for that Achilles tear.

Weirdly enough, not the Chiefs. They should be scared of us. We have a defense that can stop them, and they don’t have one that can stop us. I am mostly worried about the Colts— still having JT nightmares from last year.

case in point…
