  1. There were two other TDs where it looked like the knee was down before the ball crossed, I was surprised those didn't get overturned on auto review. I was at the game and didn't see the broadcast, did they replay those or talk about them at all?
  2. Agreed - it's not about the physical penalty exerted on your body, it's about causing an interruption which reinforces mentally that something bad was done When practices were sloppy I used to make basketball teams I coached stop and do just a single pushup every time a simple layup was missed. After a few times you bettter believe there was more concentration on those layups. Not because doing a pushup was hard, but because it was a pain in the ass to have to keep being interrupted to do them
  3. Two things - 1) watch him run past mclovin with his above average speed in the clips above 2) DC doesn't have to adjust for Goodwin's speed if he's never on the field
  4. I was thinking same thing - this puts Goodwin on notice as far as I'm concerned yes
  5. I think it's funny (actually irritating) that he and other receivers now regularly feel the need to attempt one-handed catches to make highlight reels, when 99% of the time two hands should be used and there would be a higher probability of actually making the catch with two hands. It's basic fundamentals. I'm glad I don't coach youth football anymore - I assume there's tons of kids now trying regularly to catch the ball with one hand instead of properly using two.
  6. Wow - Darues, Hughes and Brown all get completely owned on this play. And nice hold on Mario And of course Rambo comes in to destroy him at the end. WTF is wrong with this dude
  7. Look at Dareus drop into coverage. Also look at Mario lined up so wide it would have taken him 5 seconds to get there
  8. It's not just sacks - it's pressure. You can pressure a QB without sacking him - make him uncomfortable, get in his face, make him move a bit, make him make mistakes. And yes you can do this in 2.5 seconds. There are games we are seeing none of that - just Brady and Eli standing there making throws, yes quick throws, but throws with absolutely no duress or pressure. The Dline/scheme should be able to get enough penetration/pressure to cause SOME semblance of discomfort for a QB SOMETIMES - even if they are getting it out quick.
  9. You mean you haven't seen personal fouls called on other teams for patting their teammates on the helmet for good plays??
  10. Was at the game, a few things that stood out - The Giants special teams were so far superior to our it wasn't even funny. Just their guys beating our guys asses consistently - With all the "fire" our players allegedly have (errr personal foul, personal foul, personal foul, personal foul) - the Giants were far more pumped (in a good way) the whole game - The Bills couldn't have done a better job taking the crowd out of the game with that 1st half performance. I go to one game a year, my brother and I fly in to take my Dad for his bday with our sons - we're all hyped for months and yesterday the friggin Bills have us sitting there at times almost bored out of our minds. WTF. That's actually a hard thing to do AT A FRIGGIN FOOTBALL GAME. BTW happy 81st Dad - the friggin Bills put a damper on another one this year - I can't figure out what the deal is with the DL. Zone blitzes aside, there were times when guys just seemed to be standing up and half-heartedly rushing - not sure if they were purposely just trying to stay home for screens or misdirection, but it sure didn't look like as a unit they had blood lust to kill a QB. And don't give me this crap about if the QB gets rid of it fast the DLine can't matter. BS. You can still at least present a semblance of pressure to at least make the QB slightly uncomfortable - Someone needs to line up Billy the Buffalo and the person in charge of the sound for the stadium and EXECUTE THEM. It's not just the beyond ridiculous train horn, its also all the other crap they feel the need to obnoxiously blare EVERY SECOND that it is not illegal to do so. It comes off as completely bush league. Like the fans can't generate their own noise and excitement. All it does is completely ruin the great atmosphere that organic fan cheering and excitement make. Sometimes the best parts of the games are the spaces in between when you can just take in the atmosphere of the crowd and the stadium - even (especially) if it isn't artificially amped up to 11. So embarrassing.
  11. In town for the game, ordering Santoras now. Always been one of my faves
  12. Another thing that I believe is that as each week goes by a little more will be installed and the players will become more and more familiar with the offense and will be thinking less and executing better and faster. Add into that that Tyrod is basically learning all the nuances of being a starting QB week to week, and we haven't been fully healthy yet. There is a real possibility we have only seen the tip of what this offense can be, and it could really be something much better near the end of the regular season.
  13. This is a crazy idea, but have to give you props for being creative. The clever part is the only 5 yd penalty for holding vs 15 for unsportsmanlike contact if you try to take shots at the QB close to the whistle or after
  14. I just hope there is a plan to keep continuity with the same offense if he does leave and not have some OC come in and change everything and start all over again. Especially since offensive success would mean the offense itself made good use of the talents of TT and the other players. Is that what Chris Palmer is here for?
  15. Rambo should have smashed into Gilmore after that one
