    I wonder what happened. Protest or Accident?

     

    I will say that they should require a special license (like a semi truck) to drive any car that goes over 100mph.

     

    It is actually an interesting legal case, but essentially the speed limit in the daytime was described as "reasonable and prudent" and when some group or rich guys got pulled over for disobeying that guideline and in court their lawyer argued that there is no such thing as reasonable and prudent, the judge agreed, and speed limits were back in play.

    Edit - Flacco is the answer for one question.  Name a terrible white QB that is given yet another opportunity while Colin Kaepernick sits?  

     

    Right, because some guy who last played in 2016 (worth noting a 1-10 record that year, with an average of a whopping 180 yards per game) is going to be ready to step in Mike White gets hurt. At least Joe has been on a NFL roster in the last 1/2 decade. The Jets are not a dumpster fire, seems bringing in a veteran to add some experience to the QB room is a day late and a dollar short, but Kaep would not be the answer.

    am i the only one thats super annoyed this got so much pub? This play was called back. it technically never existed.

     

    If the Josh Allen Hurdle Part 1 or 2 had been called back on a penalty those plays would have gotten air time. When someone get abused like that on the field (and it is a clean play) it is going to get played again and again. 

     

    That said I'll exchange one video of Henry rag dolling one of our DBs for keeping his running in check again.

    Seattle is very surprising.

     

    They are 11 of 30 on 3rd and 4th down conversions, with that type of efficiency you don't get into the red zone often. 

     

    And as an odd paradox, they are very efficient in the red zone when they get there scoring TDs 83.3% of the time.

    I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to worry about Taylor Heineke. Washington paid Fitz $10mm, that would indicate to me that their coaching staff doesn’t think Heineke is the guy, maybe you can throw a “yet” in there, but still. I don’t really know much about Heineke, what is it about him that leads you to think he is something?

     

    If it isn't yet, it isn't ever going to happen. Heineke is 28, had an open competition to take the starting job this year and was beaten out badly by Fitz in training camp (this is according to my WFT friends). This isn't to say he can't have a good game here or there, but the long term prospects for him are to be a backup QB, and then out of the league before too long, IMHO.

    That’s not what I said… I said he could keep us on track during the regular season should Josh miss time. 
     

    I do stand by the point that Trubisky is arguably the 2nd best QB in the division. 

     

    Based on skill right now, I would take Trubisky as the 2nd best QB in the division.

    Based on potential, I still might have him 2nd, but would probably drop him to 3rd and just say one of the other young QBs will be better, but I have no idea who.

    if the Bills lost Allen they are a completely different team…. Probably around .500. If they lost Diggs it’s a big blow but I still think they are a playoff team because Allen would find a way to carry the team and offense.

     

     

    Either injury would hamper the offence, but I think Mitch could keep the team afloat. Consider that he was the 19th or 20th most productive QB on a sub par Bears team last year, if he was out on the field with our WR core I think he could put up some decent numbers. It wouldn't be the same as Josh, but our QB 2 is certainly better than quite of a few week 1 starters in 2021.

    When attempting to look at things in reality, its best to make the least the amount of assumptions possible.    In this instance radio guy is asserting that Rosen ran into the most terrible situation possible 3 different times, and the teams, not Rosen were the issue on 3 different occasion.  The more logical, and realistic situation is Rosen is either not that good to start with.    In this instance, radio guy is a Rosen homer.

     

    This reminds me of a funny exchange between two old friends the other day. The first is going on and on about how this person is a jerk (more colorful language used), and that person was a jerk, and basically every interaction this guy had the other person was always a jerk. The first guy's friend turns to him with a dead pan look on his face and says "man it must be difficult that everyone you run into is a jerk." First guy pauses, and then keeps ranting without realizing he is the problem. 

     

    That is Josh Rosen, he is the problem. Could he find humility and work ethic and fix that problem, well he could, but my guess he is still looking at the world blaming everyone else.

    Ken stabler and Namath say hi 

     

    How many colleges have two quarterbacks of that caliber? How many Tennessee quarterbacks are good before Peyton Manning?

     

    During the NFL season I sit next to an Alabama fan and he always goes back to those two as examples of why Alabama produces good QBs. But then we need to look at more recent failures to see why the stigma is rightly attached to Mac that he is most likely going to bust:

     

    - Tua - Jury out, but there were some warning signs last year that he isn't the long term solution for the Fins

    - Jalen Hurts

    - AJ McCarron

    - Greg McElroy

    - Brodie Croyle 

    - Jay Barker

    - Mike Shula

    - Jeff Rutledge

    - Richard Todd

     

    Not exactly a list of world beaters. 

     

    Then we get to Ohio State, and man is that list of comedy of errors:

    - Tom Tupa

    - Kent Graham

    - Bobby Hoying

    - Joe Germaine

    - Craig Krenzel

    - Troy Smith

    - Terrell Pryor

    - Cardale Joes

    - Dwayne Haskins

     

     

     

     

     

  10. There is so much Trey Lance love out there, perhaps because Josh Allen was part of the build up going into the draft? But I just don't see strong parallels to Josh, and will call him being a bit of a bust. 

     

    But then again I'm not high on any of these QBs, having an immediate positive impact on their teams this year, but going into year two I think Fields and Lawrence both bring good things to the table.

  11. While I agree with most of the name on this list, I think I would downgrade Andre Roberts to the "So Long" category. 

     

    Lifetime numbers

    25.8 avg kick return

    9.0 avg punt return

     

    Playoff numbers

    16.7 avg kick return

    4.0 avg punt return

     

    As we saw he cannot be trusted to replace an injured WR, he is not used for jet sweeps, he is a one trick pony, and I don't think the roster spot is worth it anymore. Take a touchback on kickoffs, start at the 25 and trust Josh and the O to move it down field.

  12. Tua is still trying to play the same style he did in Alabama, short throw that the WR will end up taking for a first town. Trying to find the exact stat, but from a couple sources it looks like 70 to 75% of the yards Tua "threw" for in 2019 came after the catch (highest in the nation). That is what we saw last night, he had two completions go for 10 yards or more, and one of them was 2 yards behind the LOS when caught. Tua still has NFL WRs to throw to, but the problem is NFL caliber players are on the other side of the ball for the first time. 

     

    Is he a bust? I think it is too early to make call, but I do think he was way over hyped and I'm looking forward to our D getting a shot at a Tue led offence next week. Go Bills.

    I am sure there are individual outliers that get aggregated into the mix, but some teams handle coast-to-coast travel better than others.

     

    Carroll has been around a long time, I am sure he has a set routine for his team traveling. I don't think jet-lag is anything McD is going to count on. Going to be a tough game and Wilson is playing at a very high level with a ton of confidence. Against Cam McD did not have any real respect for his passing ability. I say that because we consistently cheated a lot of bodies up to the line and loaded the box. Having all those guys play close to the LOS disguised a lot of the ugly this team has had getting push, creating pressure, and filling gaps against the run. We will not have that luxury against Wilson.

     

    This is going to be a very tough game for our defense and we will need our offense to grind out some long possessions, and our Special Teams to tilt the field to have a shot at knocking these guys off.

     

     

     

    From 2010 to 2018 Seattle was outscored 75 to 0 in the first half of playoff games starting at 1pm EST (all West and Mountain teams were outscored 210 to 55 over that period of time). 

     

    So they have been slow starters in the past. Hope that holds true Sunday and then Allen can keep the offence rolling in the 2nd half.
