We all know that the 3rd and 21 illegal contact penalty is coming. We just have to overcome it and not compound it with an additional 15 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The TD may have been a TD because the rules are different when you don't go to the ground. You only have to have both feet down. The interception was dropped. On the other hand, I think if Brady pulled his crank out on the field, Hochuli would touch it.
The thing that I am confused about is the schemes. Everyone keeps saying that the players have to get used to Rex's schemes. Pettine was his D coordinator in NY so shouldn't they be similar? Brown and Bradham were rising stars and now they look totally lost. Even when our D doesn't get scored on, they still give up 30-40 yards of field position and are on the field for 5-6 minutes. It seems like they only get a 3 and out once or twice a game.
You can never have too many good corners. We have 4 legit corners now in Gilmore, Darby, McKelvin and Robey. We should be able to man up and blitz a lot. I thought that was Rex's scheme but so far this year it hasn't. I hope this changes it.
We have some really good talent on both sides of the ball. We are not so talented that we can constantly give away plays with stupid penalties on both sides of the ball. That's on the HC.
It's over. Does this team really have the look of a team that's going to come out fighting when their backs are against the wall? Or does it look like a team that will quit on the head coach after another loss or two?
Every year we keep saying that we are "mathematically" alive. We only are because there are still 9 games left. We suck and aren't going anywhere, like every year.
Rex isn't the answer. That should be clear to everyone already. He isn't going anywhere though because of the 5 years, 25 million contract. If you think coaching doesn't matter, look at the Dolphins.
Because a 53rd guy might actually have the drive and desire to play and to play hard. And what they may do in the short term is help our sorry special teams. If its not worth mentioning than why did you bring it up?
Why keep him??? Outside of a TD catch in the opener, what has he done for $6 million? If Sammy gets healthy? When Sammy comes back and in the first game back he pulls, strains, tweaks, sprains something, we are again left with no healthy receivers.
I think the doom and gloom comes from seeing what we would do if we made it into the wildcard game. Against playoff caliber teams we have looked way over matched.
Stop saying the pass caused his injury. Receivers in every game have to adjust to passes that are a little off line. Sammy is the only one on crutches after it though.
