This^^^. Dorsey displayed very little creativity with 12 personnel, especially with regards to the run game. Even Daboll ran a jet sweep or two off Knox in motion. I expect to see more innovative 12 personnel usage, even if it’s restricted to specials. It’s likely though that we’ll see some type of motion that puts a screen, swing or wheel route behind Knox and Kincaid. Brady’s proven that he’s better than Dorsey at utilizing personnel groupings to create mismatches. Also, Knox coming back is going to take some of those lineman eligible snaps, and not just Kincaid/Shakir/Morris snaps. Brady has also shown that he can compensate for Spencer Brown without keeping a TE in formation which should keep the offense humming.

Pats knock back the Steelers and get further away from a top 3 pick…. Win win for us

Definitely a great starting point

Nope. And they chose to ignore Kelsey pulling Campbell’s arms down free the “push”. 🙄

Anything to push the refs into focus

It’s like Gabe without the blocking. Every 3-4 games he’s great

Refs being the stars again. SMDH

There’s the chiefs call

Well, damn

Damn. GB is putting the hurt on KC.

It’s a prime time game in GB. Chiefs ain’t gonna get the benefit of the doubt considering the Packers have a massive fan base. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the calls shift in the second half though. Gary is a wrecking ball. When he’s on he frees up the rest of the front seven.

Oh, I seriously doubt it happens, especially after they lost to the Texans today.

If that happens you almost have to hope Denver somehow wins the division so we have a head to head tiebreaker.

Tackles usually get penalized more often than interior players. They’re more visible and DEs are generally the most physically gifted D linemen. Agree with the 12 men statement, and that likely came into play when McD decided to ice the kicker in Philly.

True, but it doesn’t account for the Packers also fleecing the Jets for an aging QB that would ultimately get injured. 😆 Seriously though. It’s impressive how that team has managed to reload and rebuild their rosters around the timelines of young QBs three times in a row. When Favre came in they got him a starting center, then drafted Robert Brooks and Chmura among others. Rodgers got Jordy Nelson, Finley, and Sitton.

This ^^^. Only way I see McD fired is if Allen and/ a groups of players approaches him and says he’s lost the faith of the team.

It’s slutty and dirty feeling, but honestly…. This current offense stems from the patriots offense. It could actually work with the condition that Beane retains GM roll, and Brady maintains offensive autonomy, and takes over after Belichick beats Shula’s win total. It’d feel weird AF to if they won a Super Bowl with that setup too…. Like giving in to the dark side or trading everything at the crossroads. 😂 It’s slutty and dirty feeling, but honestly….

The problem is we only have one of those guys with the physical/technical talent active on defense right now (Douglass), and McD’s end of game schemes take him out of the play. No pre ACL all-pro Tre making a timely 4th quarter pick, no Milano to force a turnover or make a TFL, no DQ to collapse a double team for interior pressure, and Poyer, Hyde, and Von ain’t what they used to be physically. This team really doesn’t have enough defensive closers to ice a 2 minute drive, especially when McD wants to go prevent or cover 0. ….. then there’s the unreliable special teams with inconsistent coverage and missed kicks….. part of that likely stems from the injuries and guys getting called up into duty, but that’s no excuse for Bass, Martin, etc. Things like the 12 men issues are a coaching problem, and it’s on McD to fix that. IMO his focus on the duel HC/DC roll has significantly influence the precision and execution of both the offense and particularly special teams.

If they miss the playoffs I’d rather them get a better draft pick and make a HC change. This team needs a playmaker and an injection of optimism. I’d imagine all the top coaching prospects would love to luck into a job with Allen at QB.

🤞🏼 D

GROOOOTTTT

That’s why it should be legal to nudge Philly fans into traffic. 😜

4 tackles, 3 PD, 2 INTs, 1 FR.

Dalton Doot has a ring to it.

It’ll be an interesting wrinkle moving forward if Brady sticks Shakir in the slot and Kincaid outside in 12 personnel once Knox is back. Certainly some cool possibilities with matchups and motion with that type of setup.
