Why do they never use a 3rd LB?

To be fair, I think he's more talking about how this would have looked against the chiefs in the playoffs if they played like this. 

 

I think he's missing the point that you're not likely beating the chiefs if you score 14 points

Agreed.  And seriously, this "they only had two big plays, one for a TD and the other setting one up, otherwise they didn't do anything" thing, ... really?  LOL  

 

 

Dont misquote me and then make stuff up.

 

They had two big runs, scored no points on either of the runs, and only netted a field goal off those plays. The rest of the game was 22 att for 37 yards.

 

Funny you have to stretch to such falsehoods to try to establish your point. They didnt even score 1 TD all night, let alone 2.

 

Lame.

Like I said, there are a million valid criticism and he's flailing trying to land on one.

 

Not everyone is built for TBD life.

What are your thoughts on Skip Bayless? 

 

I have none.  I know he's a talking head for one of the sports networks.  Don't know which one.  I don't listen to any of that stuff.  I used to listen to some stuff on GR years ago but stopped that too.  

 

There's way too much content today for more than a small fraction of it to be original or worth listening to or viewing.  I prefer to do my own research, work, etc.  

 

I'm so out of touch with sports media.  Half the time I'll even turn the volume down on games and listen on GR even though the sound is significantly out of sync with the video.  

 

Why are you asking?

I understand nickel is our base D, but how many times must one get shredded on the ground before you change it up sometimes? Or even just read a situation? Clappy calling his NBA time outs last night to act like he's making changes, winds up with 5"11 Johnson on 6"6 Waller, just lucky they didn't call the penalty. The lack of adjustments and awareness is mind numbing 

 

Clearly you no not like Coach McD from nickname and it slants your view.

It was not completely luck for Waller has his hands on Johnson a lot to get into position.

Easy there chief!  

 

I was referring to generally speaking, I (truly) didn't mean to point you out.  A bunch of people have said that kinda thing.

You tell me, ran a 9 play drive with 2 huge runs in the 4th behind the worst oline in the league. Than a 13 play drive where the refs were the defensive mvp

 

How many points they get on both those drives combined?

 

edit to the bold: The same refs that gave the Giants an extra untimed down from the 1 yard line? Yeah, they were really working in our favor.

 

This thread is ludicrous.

Johnson shouldn't be covering him. Simple

No, you tell me. Because you complained we got shredded. Then I told you the Giants scored 9 points and were 0/4 in the RZ, and you said "good job stopping Taylor and the USFL crew."

 

Did we stop them or did we get shredded?

 

Are games decided by how many plays you have in a drive? Someone should let ESPN know the Giants had a 9 play drive and update those standings lmao.

I actually never said they got shredded LAST night, merely that this ***** defense routinely does when it counts and has never adjusted to that.

 

HOWEVER, one could certainly surmise that giving up 60 yards on the ground in about 30 seconds, right after your admittedly struggling offense gives you a lead, just might be a same ***** different day scenario

It's more that he just says stuff that sounds kinda informed, but it's really just hot takes with no actual factual basis most of the time. Have you listened to truly informed football people giving their nuanced takes based on watching the all22 and their in depth knowledge of the team and nfl football at a scheme and strategic level or is this based on the broadcast or things other people are saying or calling in on their phones. 

 

Don't listen to skip Bayless either, I'm not at all suggesting you do! And you fan however you want, I'm just suggesting this is likely a very complex and nuanced subject and there are a lot of answers claiming it is very simple... that's a red flag

What other imaginary things are we picturing tonight?

Find this thread come January. And then again in March and April when every off-season move we make goes on defense because this will finally be the year that works lol

I'm going to delete this thread from my memory because it is a potent virus capable of destroying brain cells.
