  1. Wasn't Bruce mentoring him when he came in the league. Maybe Bruce can put in a good word.
  2. 2!!!!!
  3. I like Xavier Watts.
  4. I think there has been a universal calm in the fanbase since the clock hit 00 last week. Walking out out of the stadium for those who park on the south side, there is a procession walking down Abbott Road. The crowd was church silent. No hooting or hollering, no exclamation of our dominance. The crowd realized there is work to be done, the celebrating must wait. Winning last week was a formidable task. As I said to anyone listening, you have to beat good teams to win a Superbowl. We are one of the good teams. Win or loose, the team has made us proud.
  5. Ranked 1 cumulatively and yet we only have one second team All-Pro. Subjectivity infects all grading and voting. You cannot believe any of it.
  6. Commented yesterday to my son, you look at all the o linemen they look thick and sometimes unfit (Although I know they are not). Brown looks fit and trim and much more athletic. His development has been excellent after he recovered from the back problems.
  7. What Bills coach said something like this " He is really not a returner, he is just a punt catcher"? Anyone remember. Wade?
  8. Watching this Milano looked like when he came back, he was avoiding contact or wrapping up with his left arm. Maybe a little weak there at the time or tentative. Seems to have gotten better there as it helps with game speed not having to surround plays from his right side. Trust is building as is game speed. I trust Milano more on the field. Against the Jets, it seems I saw us run 4-3 more than in any game if at all earlier. At least we were trying it more I think we are building for the playoffs there. Anyone who reviews game film can comment there. I think Andresson should get some evaluation time this next game.
  9. Just curious, since he is coming from a OC Dorsey led offense, how much of the verbiage has changed here with Brady. If Brady kept a lot of the Dorsey verbiage and Dorsey exported his to Cleveland, the acclimation of Copper to our offense may be easier than others. Teams must always change verbiage, I assume but concepts may be consistent. We will see.
  10. What I find interesting is not the hail Mary but what happened on our possession as we scored. An interim head coach with no experience managed the clock like a pro. Knowing we were getting points he stopped the clock after every attempt preserving time for a shot at the end of the half. Knowing he has Rodgers why not take a chance with a quick drive. In our experience if the situation was reversed, McD would have let the clock run hopping the opponent would run out of time ( we had time outs) letting them score points on the last play. Or if lucky enough to get the ball with time take a knee to regroup at halftime. Plays afraid in all circumstances. End of half afraid of a field goal, so rush two on two straight plays and give time for a Hail Mary with linemen out in coverage. His fear of making a bad decision leads to bad decisions. Let the players play aggressive, that is more instinctive and how they are built. IF they miss, the other team was better. Playing afraid leads to our poor execution.
  11. While I agree in part. During the end of the season we were forcing balls to Diggs. Behind the line screens with him simply dropping the ball. Stats are tough passing when the weather gets cold and bad. Historically our receivers with Allen tear it up earlier in the year. The extrapolation of their potential year totals may not translate. We do expect better production and yes if it is those numbers it may not cut it.
  12. We were in a must win situation. Anytime that is the case including playoffs, expect Allen to run more. It’s our cheat code
  13. This system is very subjective. Just because they use a cute color key does not make it accurate. The system is no better than the talking heads saying, here is by ranking based solely on my opinion. If you put some kind of scoring system for each metric( quality of player, age, prone to injury etc.) and weighted it to justify decisions in ranking then you may have something. Rating the quality of player against their peers is tough. We all know the pro-bowl is unusable as an achievement indicator as an example. Even PFF grades cannot be trusted. Going by what was presented and that opinion, it would appear the Miami and Jets have a better foundation. The center of any foundation is the quarterback, he should have most of the weight on offense. When you have that you have a good foundation.
  14. Kelce kills everyone. You cannot keep him down for the whole game. Yesterday 1 catch in first half, 8 in the second. On the last drive in overtime I watched Fred Warner throw him to the ground on second down, not letting him off the line. I thought why don't more teams do that. On the next play Warner does not get a hand on him, Kelce fakes inside, outside then back inside. Mahomes completes a crosser to him for the first down inside the 10 to set up the TD. One of the best linebackers in the league was embarrassed on the play. No one else picked him up as he crossed the middle. It's like basketball you better man him and zone him like box and 1. Where the 49er's went wrong, they got away from their goto guy McCaffery until the drive to take the 3 point lead and also in overtime. One the 4th quarter drive they exhaust him, he takes himself out and his replacement gets a run called back for a hold on the edge. Forced a field goal there instead of a TD chance.
  15. We take them out of the game because we fear fatigue and a rotation of inferior linemen will do better. You watch KC play wit 4-5 guys the whole game. Do any of the Watts or Bosa's come out for a substantial part of the game on the teams they are on. We don't have one of them but how do you know when players are not given the same number of opportunities. Determine who is your best, leave them to gain endurance during the season and roll with them in the playoffs. The best d linemen in the league save a gear for when it is needed. Part of it is the guy they are going against is lulled to sleep and then boom they make a play when needed.
