Miyagi-Do Karate

When I think of playing the Seahawks, this is the one play that always comes to mind: fake sneak by Bledsoe.

I would rather play weak teams. Stack a lot of wins and stay healthy. This team is playoff tested, and will be ready to play the big boys come playoff time.

Gotta do the Mike Mularkey cheeseburger outing trick!! Works every time on a trip to Seattle!

drives me nuts too, including the spiking the ball at the RB’s feet on a busted screen. They need to change that rule. If you have a busted screen, then that’s on the offense. You either throw a semi-catchable ball at the RB or you have to eat it.

1) To those blaming the loss of key ST players, those guys weren’t very good either. Neal and mantkaveitch were overrated. Neal had no spatial skills— couldn’t down a punt to save his life. I view the ST problems as really being a multi-year issue. 2) I agree with those who blame the coverage unit more than Martin. Martin actually had a well placed punt or two that our cover guys couldn’t down. I have no idea how our team is incapable of downing a punt inside the 5 or 10, yet everyone else does it regularly. 3) that whiff by Solomon and near block by Martin isn’t something to ignore. We have had similar breakdowns the last two years. There is no way that we should be seeing free rushers. It’s embarrassing.

I hate to complain after a win, but I am really concerned about our special teams. We all know the issues with Bass. But beyond that, we have allowed multiple FG/PAT blocks, Martin almost had a punt blocked yesterday, and our coverage teams are generally terrible (which is reflective of Martin having one of the worst net averages and also us having almost no downed punts). Coddrington has been decent enough as a return guy, which is probably the only bright spot. But we have otherwise really generated no positive big plays on ST. what gives? And any ideas how to fix it? in the playoffs, the teams that win, tend to make the big splash plays on defense and special teams.

Foolishly wore a super fancy bills hoodie that I never wear during the first half. Took it off at halftime, and the rest is history.

gotta go to that red line, Garrett. Maybe he will be in the Red Line Dog House with Mike Williams.

Wow! Amazing tackle by DaVonte Adams, per Colinsworth!

You could call PI on the Jets DBs on literally every pass play.

I have been shocked they haven’t put more pressure on him.

Fields has been pretty good all year. I do think they need to go back to him. The Steelers line is getting abused. At least fields can scramble some.

I can’t stand the DaVonte Adams obsession. They showed him even after the Pickens catch!

If you play any sport, you know that was a great catch. The NFL’s rules sometimes conflict with common sense.

porter and sauce are equally as grabby. Very annoying.

I actually really like Wilson over fields. Gives them the clutch plays. But this is a tough pass defense to have your first start against.

Sauce even looked guilty!

Apparently colinsworth is going to attribute every positive play tonight to DaVonte Adams’ mere presence. This dude is so tough to listen to.

I know this is a hypothetical, but I have many friends and family members who are browns’ fans, and Garrett is the heart and soul of that franchise. It would be like the patriots trading Tom Brady in his prime. Seems unlikely.

agreed. Consider too how poor in the clutch our ST and defense is compared to KC’s.

I am a big Purdy nay-sayer. But I have to defend him today. niners have nobodies out there on offense with him. He was pressing to make plays all day.

you gotta respect the GDT for what it is: Real time paranoia by the most paranoid fan base. Scientists will study it one day to get to the bottom of “Billsy” syndrome. that said, whatever is said in the GDT cannot be held against you.

as soon as Josh throws a single interception, the “turnover Josh” narrative will be back. The guy can’t shake it.

There can’t be a single person (including any browns fans) that are saddened by this. This guy became an absolute pariah. I sort of wonder if the browns will just figure out some injury settlement and be done with him.

McDermott is showing Babich the GDT at halftime: “I’ve got this guy NedBoy7 complaining 37 minutes ago about these titans TE screens. Can we get a guy out there on the TE?”
