“Fire Frazier for sitting in soft zones. We need to blitz more.” ”Not like that!!!!”

You only disagree because it doesn’t help your argument. A pass defensed on the goal line to end the game is a stop for everyone else on the planet.

They had the ball and needed to score to win, and the defense didn't let them lol. Why are you trying to change the definition? If the defense tackled Russell Wilson and the Broncos ran out of time, that wouldn't be a stop? When Josh and the offense couldn't get out of bounds vs the Dolphins last year to kick a field goal, the Dolphins defense didn't stop us, we just ran out of time? What? What is your definition of a "stop?" They have to get the ball back for the offense to go victory formation at least once? What about putting them in a position to miss a field goal? Is that a stop?

This was your quote and it was wrong. You clearly forgot the games they did make stops on. Was just trying to correct you.

The way I see it, this is actually falling into place quite well. Joe Brady and McD have 7 games to keep their jobs. They fail, we can reset and hire Johnson. He declined HC interviews last year with the dogwater organizations, but nothing screams continued success like a franchise QB. They succeed, we can still reset or give them another year. And same thing as above.

Would you want McD taking over the playcalling duties on offense too? The OL coach? Who else do you want? Bring in Norv Turner to change the system at Thanksgiving? Ben Johnson ain't coming over midseason.

Well said. College game is just different. Can’t get a Super Bowl by telling FAs there’s a lot of good looking girls in town.

Those were stops. They had an opportunity to stop those teams from scoring and winning. And the ball fell incomplete. That’s a stop.

There’s exactly nothing wrong with running out of shotgun most of the time. Pancheco runs out of the gun a lot. It’s not doing it well that’s more problematic.

It’s Erik Turner linking it and saying “we talked about this all the time” lol. Its baloney. What you say on the internet exists forever. These dudes ran cover for Kenny and talked up the advanced stats and EPA and are now turning around and saying “Exactly! He had to go.” It’s kinda funny. It’s not like they have special access they need to protect. Hard to be unbiased fans I guess.

Was Knox the MVP all along? I thought he was being underutilized for two years now but he was basically ineffective while hurt.

Meh, I watch a lot of FSU. Program turn around was more from scouring the transfer portal and getting bonafide NFL talent from all over. Jared Verse, Jermaine Johnson (last year), Trey Benson, Johnny Wilson, Keon Coleman will all be NFLers next year and some of them will be first rounders. Couple that with a weak ACC and there’s your undefeated season. That’s college though and that’s no knock on Norvell. I just don’t see it as some X’s and O’s Mastery.

Um, they stopped the Giants and the Bucs. They also outscored the Commanders by themselves. I guess the defense is really 3-4 this season. With half of their players injured. Somehow this argument works only one way. Does this mean that Josh playing terrible and the offense turning it over a billion times makes the defense look worse? It would have to, right?

Erik is a Johnny come lately. Cover1 boys LOVED Dorsey. They loved the advanced numbers. The EPA was SO GOOD GUYS. Pass.

The offense has been bad since like week 4 dude. It was rough a decent amount last year too. Josh looks like a worse QB than he was two years ago. That’s gonna get an OC fired 10/10 times. The advanced analytics are garbage and pumped up by late game heroics and kicking around tomato can teams.

The hardest choices require the strongest wills - Terry Pegula after firing McD and rehiring Rex Ryan

Even if McD hired someone outside of the organization, he will still be in charge as the HC, and free to fire the person if things went awry. Not sure internal vs external matters here.

What?

My expectation is a complete simplification, with a lot bread and butter stuff that our guys can execute. Similar to when Lynn took over from Roman, and basically chopped the playbook in half, and said “when we run these plays, we get 5 YPC, so that’s what we’re calling now.”

Yeah that was a horrible year lol. 30 INTs is ridiculous

We don’t live in 1999

I think you need to reset your barometer. 2:1 is not much higher than average. And 1:1 is horrific, not just bad.

Poor Ken. He was just handed the second best QB in football, a top 5 WR, and a playbook/scheme that had been ran to great success for 2 years prior. Would we have the worst offense in football if we had Jared Goff or Tua?

Beane is the anti-Whaley. Whaley would bring in a couple bargain FAs who would be ProBowlers and draft like 1 really good player per year and 6 trainwrecks. Beane brings in bargain FAs who play like bargain FA’s and drafts 7 JAGs per year.

BETS HAVE CLOSED. GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE EPA/PLAY
