HappyDays

We have been badly out coached in the 2nd half

I love other teams regularly making circus catches

Something is going on with Diggs. 11 of 12 snaps on the sidelines...

Getting too blitz happy now. Same as the first Pats game

We needed someone on offense to step up and make a big play. The rookie got it done.

Austin fooled him He releases the ball when he thinks Austin is going to the post

Austin baited him, made it look like he was going post and then went to the sideline as soon as the pass was released

Pats are one of the few teams with worse pass catchers than us

Rasul Douglas for president

Extend Rasul after the game

Wow!! I guess our defense will just help us get all our points

Our weapons are so bad. They don't separate, they don't draw DPI, they don't catch the ball.

If Diggs comes back for that ball it's DPI. Why do our receivers never do this?

Not sure we have the weapons to compete in the playoffs unfortunately. And right now that includes Diggs

We have a very poor group of weapons

Passing offense is in for a long day. We can't separate against man coverage.

Statistics say go for 2 there because you don't even know for sure if you'll get the ball in OT. If you do you have to execute an entire drive. A lot can go wrong. One play for 7 yards for the win gives you the best shot even though it's not ideal. It's not as clear cut as it would be from the 2 but I understand his decision.

Just ridiculous how the NFL finds new and exciting ways to screw up big moments in big games. And it always seems to hurt the same teams.

I think he has had trouble separating from physical coverage lately. He's getting knocked over off the line at times.

Peppers being out is a big loss.

I'll believe it when I see it on camera.

Why did you happen to select that group of QBs? Also below Josh are Jackson, Mahomes, and Hurts. I assume you can see the pattern here? Here's the top 10 in that stat: Tua Mac Jones Siemian Lawrence Burrow Zappe Ridder Carr Browning Mayfield My takeaway is that it's a totally meaningless stat that tells you nothing about the quality of the QB or of the OL.

I don't blindly trust PFF grades, that is fair. I'm just saying even by their own grading system calling us the 4th ranked OL is somewhat of a mirage. The 4th ranked DL would be elite. The 4th ranked group of pass catchers would be elite. Because OL talent across the league is so bad this year, unless you have a top 2 OL it's not really making a difference in the game. I don't think our OL has been a true advantage this year. But it has been good enough which is all you can ask for in the modern NFL. On Torrence, I think a narrative has formed that he has performed better than he really has, likely because fans are comparing it to the truly awful play that we got last year. He has had major issues getting beaten inside for most of the season. He's pretty consistently been the weak link. But similar to what I said above, most OLs have a weak link or two so relative to the rest of the league it's not a huge deal. Hiding a guard is easy anyways, as long as they aren't so awful they wreck game plans like Saffold did. I'm not saying Torrence was a bad pick by the way. You have to be patient with rookie o-linemen these days and he's certainly shown a strong foundation for development. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a top 10 guard by his 3rd season.

Lol you're being really weird about this. Great QBs have to take risks. It was a complaint about Rodgers, he wouldn't throw a lot of INTs but then he would get to the playoffs and would play too conservative and the Packers would lose. Great for his stat sheet, not so great for beating elite teams. It's a tricky needle to thread. You don't want to be Jameis Winston but you don't want to be Tyrod Taylor either. As I've said a few times I think Allen has crossed the line between aggressive and reckless a tad too often this year, especially against bad opponents where an ugly win would get it done. I would still rather have 40 TDs with 15 INTs than say 30 TDs with 8 INTs though. Turnover differential is a fun stat but points on the board are actually what win games.

I think the Panthers can beat the Jags with CJ Beathard at QB. If the Jags lose we just need one of the Bengals or Steelers to lose for us to clinch a playoff spot (assuming we beat the Pats).
