[So are we just done expecting Von Miller to do anything?]

No. I expect him to pay back the 12 bucks he owes me.

[When’s the Last Time We Ran a “Real” Screen Pass?]

With Cook's hands and the way he moves in space they need to dial some up ASAP.

 

Our WR screens are so poorly disguised that a pick-6 is a more likely outcome than us getting 10 yards. That's not hyperbole, they are heart-attack inducing.

 

Ty Johnson seems like he'd do pretty well on screens too. Guy gets the ball and doesn't waste a step getting vertical. 

[JA17 postgame on-field interview]

One classy mofo. 

 

If anyone had any reason to go ballistic on the officials like Mahomes did, it was Josh when he was practically strangled by an Eagles defender and didn't get the flag for a horse collar.

That was the first time I've seen him lose it.

Their sideline was a mess multiple times during the game.

 

Yuss. Chris Jones and (I assume) the DL coach were not psyched with each other. 

[Win was great BUT…]

"Ooh great win, now how can I try and kick everyone in the nuts and ruin a nice time?"

[Thoughts on Knox returning?]

I like Quintin but Knox is a better player. 

 

This is also the first game where Joe Brady has Knox and Kincaid in the lineup so it'll be interesting to see how he wants to utilize them. 

 

Definitely keep targeting Kincaid tho, I feel like the dude is due for a monster breakout game. 

[White jerseys, blue pants against the Chiefs in KC.]

I guess I'm in the minority but I really don't mind the white on blue. 

[Burned out?]

Been a frustrating year. Honestly, every game they've lost they should've won. Nobody has really flat out dominated them and they've been in every one but they've found ways to let six of them slip away. Lame-o. 

 

I'm more burned out from chasing a soon to be three year old and his lil brudder who is a year and a half. 

[Tom Brady does a nice job summing up the problems in today's NFL in this short video]

I mean...I hear him but, he's also one of the primary reasons there are so many more protective rules of offensive players these days. 

[Do you wonder if the league is fixed?]

Each year I prepare myself for the officiating to be a disaster, just how it is. However, usually by mid-season things seem to level out. There are still bad calls and whatnot but it's like they get their crap together at a certain point and become mostly competent. 

 

That hasn't happened this season. It's been ungodly awful this year and only seems to be getting worse. 

[Kneeling 🧎‍♀️it down with 20 seconds left, one of the best QBs in thr league, and one TO]

I didn't care for the decision. There was enough time there to try, at least try. That doesn't really go a long way towards showing confidence in your offense, either. Should've let them try. 

 

Last Thanksgiving against the Lions. Tied at 25, ball on their own 25, 23 seconds to go and yeah, 3 TO's...but Josh fired a laser to Diggs on the first play, nearly 40 yards and bam, already in FG range. 

 

Needed to let them try. 

[Dalton Kincaid Mic'd Up]

13 hours ago, BillnutinHouston said:

I liked "did you make the tackle"?

 

I laughed at that too. I've kinda always rolled my eyes when a defender goes wild celebrating a pretty routine tackle. It's like, okay, great, you got him...I mean, he picked up ten yards before you got him but you sure showed him. 

3 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said:

Holy CRAP that is what Rob Boras sounds like?  THAT DUDE should be the one mic’d up every single week.  
 

Also, watching this, Knox needs to come back so that Kincaid can be moved farther away from the trash inside near the LOS.  He’s too valuable to be doing so much dirty work, he’ll get rolled up on eventually.  Gotta protect that asset.

 

Coach Boras seems like a super well liked and respected coach. He was one of the first assistants Sean hired in 2017 and has been here since day one. 

 

I always wondered if he was going to get a look for OC since he has done that before but I think they like him right where he's at.

[Fixing the Officiating]

I’ll get more into the weeds later because I’m at work but the officiating is a HUGE problem and has been. Here are a couple quick fixes the NFL needs to do:

 

1. make the NFL refs a full time gig and let them get paid a lot of money 

2. make refs accountable for their mistakes with suspensions and eventual firings

 

NFL has deep pockets and should’ve done something to pay the good refs rightfully years ago. By doing 1 and 2 on my list there will be so many more potentially great applicants to become refs in the future and we won’t have the “boys club” we have now that doesn’t feel the pressure to make a good call or else.  This may not fix everything but I guarantee it’ll help out a lot 

 

They also need to allow technological advancements into the rules. Stuff like a microchip in the ball to help with spots, etc. I mean, there are already enough cameras and circuits in the dang pylons that they need their own little cooling fans. But, every time the league brings up integrating tech into officiating, the referee's union throws a tantrum, threatens a strike like, "You 'member them replacement refs? They were awful and we'll send 'em out again if you dare try to look at us as anything other than infallible! We are geniuses who see all and are never wrong!!"

 

I really don't like officials. Anyone who wants to be one at that level... I dunno, I think you probably got farts in your brain or something. 

[Singletary & Moss both look much better on new teams]

I commented elsewhere in this thread that up until the last two weeks, Singletary had averaged a total of 27 rushing yards per game as a Texan. Awesome for him that he is helping Houston win and being productive. Same goes for Zack Moss, he's had opportunities in Indy and has taken advantage. 

 

But... for the record... James Cook leads the both of them in total rushing yards. He has 688, Moss has 617, Singletary has 471. He also has more receptions and more receiving yards.

[Fixing the Officiating]

Every year I try to just prepare myself for the fact that officiating is going to be an abysmal dumpster fire, yet every year they find new ways to impress me with their idiocy. 

 

This really isn't anything major but for a while I've wondered why "half the distance to the goal" is a thing. Why not just kick the first down marker ten or fifteen yards down the field? Team stays at their own six yard line or whatever, but now it's 1st and 20 or 25, etc. 

[Has Shakir overtaken Davis]

During the off-season I would've said I'd be surprised if Beane didn't work out an extension with Davis. Now... I'm pretty sure they're gonna move on from him. I think there were rumors that they were aiming to extend him before the season but I've no idea if that's true. 

 

Obviously he's capable of some great games but consistency seems to be his big obstacle. One game he goes off for 8 grabs, 125 yards and a TD. Then he follows up with one catch on five targets, a drop, a deflection off his hands for a pick, a fumble, etc. 

 

I've liked Gabe since they've drafted him and like I said, he's obviously had his moments. I think they move on, though. 

[Allen makes history again- this is a big 1]

Nuh uh. I read on this very board that he is checked out, uninterested, and intends on demanding a trade from the Bills. And if that doesn't work out, this forum told me he'll just quit football altogether. 

[Singletary & Moss both look much better on new teams]

Singletary had his first back to back 100 games for his career. Prior to last week, the dude had averaged 27 rushing yards per game for the season. So let's not act like he's suddenly some kind of all pro. 

[McDermott weird comments about Josh Allen]

For the ever loving love of crap I hope they win Sunday so I don't have to wade thru all these godawful comments. 

[DORSEY FIRED, Joe Brady Interim OC]

I wonder if Brady will be on the sidelines or in the booth. I'd imagine sidelines given that's where he's been all season. They asked him in his presser and he said there are advantages to both but didn't say where he'd be.

"they are far too dependent on execution level being a 10 for the play to be successful"

 

Bingo. That's what I've been seeing as well.

 

Definitely feels like that. I mean, Daboll would scheme guys open, lot of pre-snap motion to confuse the defense or do things that gave Josh a chance to see what they were doing. With Dorsey it's really felt like, "Okay, just go beat your man and out-execute them every play!" He's had some decent play designs but it just doesn't feel like he's done enough to create mismatches or create situations that put a strain on the defense.
