    There is an undercurrent out there of people unhappy with Rodgers for being unable to 'just win'.

    You're muckin' with a G!

    On April 8, 2000 Chmura was accused of sexually assaulting the 17-year-old babysitter of his children. Chmura was tried but found not guilty of all charges.[6] Two days after being acquitted of child enticement and third-degree sexual assault, Chmura acknowledged that his behavior at a post-prom party "wasn't something a married man should do."

    There is an alternate universe where Chmura didn't hang out at a prom party and he's now another garbage GOP congressman. His accuser deserves a lot of thanks, she was 17 and stood up to an NFL star.

    McCarthy is one of he few coaches you can attribute multiple important big losses to. I didn’t much notice it until that loss to the Seahawks in the playoffs that we had no business winning. And McCarthy just did everything wrong. We didn’t even do anything right (except get lucky on an onsides kick) but McCarthy could have won the game... and then didn’t. And then he could have iced the game... and then didn’t.. and then he had another chance to simply not lose the game... and then didn’t.

    If I recall correctly he played prevent defense after a successful onsides kick where we only needed a field goal to win...

    Defensive calls were from Capers though, no? Though yes, Capers worked for McCarthy and McCarthy could have called up and been like WTFBBQ?!

    I don't remember if I read it here but I'm partial to the theory that Rodgers wasn't sand bagging, he just stopped changing plays at the line and called exactly what McCarthy was trying to run.

    Chewey had a good shot at becoming a HoF tight end, and then the world found out he was a dirt bag that liked to hang with 16/17 year old girls in his late 20's. That was not the first time he had "hung out" with that group of students, and that young women that stood up and stopped him did the world a favor that can never be repaid.

    So how bad is SUPERGENIUS Beav? I'm playing NFL Head Coach 09 again and am up against Green Bay. It's the '08 season so Rodgers isn't yet the player we know now. Rated at 79. Who is starting the game?

    Joey Harrington. Rated at 70.

    Final score was 41-17, Dallas. It wasn't even as close as the score suggests since both Green Bay TDs were from 60+ yard runs that happened because defender AI is sketchy as fuck and tackling is sometimes an ethereal concept.

    Harrington threw three interceptions, all run back for TDs. His QB rating was 8.0.

    I feel a little bad.

    Honestly its a good way to illustrate the point that Mccarthy is calling crappy plays by just running them as they are called in.

    Broadcast maps.

    CBS looks good. FOX is...somewhat odd. But since they get the late game, and two West teams are playing at home, their late game is EVERYBODY LOVES DALLAS AND BUCKMAN and what appear to be minor pockets of resistance in a 'Hitler Is Angry At Something' video. (Topical!)

    After most of the season of Texas avoiding being saddled (Ha!) with Houston and NFC East games, this week really sucks. Thanks, Obama Jacksonville, for regressing to your mean so quickly.

    LAR@Chicago on SNF is probably the best game. Philadelphia at Dallas has some significant playoff implications, but, Dallas and Buckman... [In fact, all California teams are playing at home making the late game situation potentially bearable.]

    Hearing from several different people over last few days that Alex Smith is having devastating complications from his broken leg surgery battling infection. Supposedly he's had multiple surgeries to try to combat infection. Chances of him playing again in real jeaopardy.
    Tweet comes from Eric Bickel (The Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan, Washington DC.) so I don't know how legitimate. If there's even a whiff of truth, Smith's career is 100% done. He'll be lucky not to lose part of the leg.

    Derrick Henry made it worth watching.

    This happened:






    Gruden: “Kaepernick has been discussed for sure...but we’ll probably go a different direction.” Points to the style of offense Kaepernick would need to play in as difficult on the short week to install.
    Followed up with Gruden on Kaep on if the conversation around him was different than any other QB: “No. Not really. It really is about evaluating the skillset. If it was week 1, there would be a better possibility.” Now looking for a similar style to Sanchez to back him up.
    Gruden says that they didn’t consider Kaepernick when Smith went down because they wanted a quarterback with McCoy’s skillset.

    The Washington Footbaw Team decided that Kaepernick would be too difficult to design an offense for in a short period and that they wanted to sign a QB who had Colt McCoy's skillset. So they signed Mark Sanchez.

    Yup.

    And as we know, Sanchez started Monday night to a rousing amount of success because McCoy went and got himself injured. So this happened:

    Can confirm the Redskins are signing QB Josh Johnson and LB/DE Marcus Smith.

    Josh Johnson last played in an NFL game in 2013. He has started just five. Ever. His most recent accomplishment was being drafted into the American Dodgeball Association of America Alliance of American Football...Alliance. (SPRING FOOTBAW, Y'ALL!) This happened to him in 2015:
    On October 2, 2015, Johnson signed with the Indianapolis Colts due to an injury to starter Andrew Luck. He was released on October 5, but subsequently re-signed on October 7. He was released yet again on October 12.
    Seriously. You should just take a gander at his 'professional career'. This dude should become the go-to response for how the NFL will sign any warm body to 'play' QB rather than a far better player, who has actually had real success, and is only slightly controversial.

    Washington is still not out of the playoffs and has decided to rest those chances on Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson. Instead of a guy who has already replaced an injured Alex Smith once in his life. Way to go!

    From a Bill Barnwell column, I found this link: A complete debunking of Jay Gruden's excuse for the Redskins passing on Colin Kaepernick
    Now that Sanchez has had a chance to play, we know what those passing concepts are. So we went through every passing play Washington called for Sanchez against the Eagles on Monday night and charted each one. Three of those plays were variations of “four verticals,” which can be found in any playbook. One was a running back screen, which is also in every playbook. And Washington ran a double-pass trick play, which isn’t going to be in the weekly game plan. We’ll just ignore those concepts and focus on the 19 reamining passing plays.

    We then skimmed through Kaepernick’s film from 2014 to 2016, looking to see if he had run similar concepts. And wouldn’t you know it: We found examples of him running 15 of the 19 concepts Washington ran on Monday night.

    ...

    Gruden can claim that the decision to not sign Kaepernick is strictly a football one because signing such a quarterback would force him to overhaul his entire offense, but, as coaches love to say, the film don’t lie.

    Washington is running almost all of the concepts Kaepernick was running during his best statistical seasons — seasons that the cast of failed quarterbacks the Redskins brought in for workouts can only dream of producing.

    There's even a gif of Kaepernick running Spider-2-Y-Banana!!!

    By the way, this also happened regarding the Derek Henry run:


    Please don't call that one of the best runs in NFL history.

    If you call it anything, call it one of the worst tackling jobs.

    I don't even think the tackling was that bad. There was one really egregious missed tackle, by Myles Jack on the pursuit, but a deep safety getting stiff-armed to hell by a running back in the open field is a pretty common occurrence. Especially since that safety didn't even have run responsibility, which was why they weren't filling, since the Jaguars outnumbered the Titans' blocks 9 to 8 in the box. But not only did #9 run themselves out of the play, no Jaguar beat a block, and the Jaguars weren't able to hold up at the line, which was the real problem.

    Some deep safety running in from 20 yards out to make a play... shit, there aren't many safeties that I'm gonna put at more than a 50/50 in that situation. We're in a world now where Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Saquon Barkeley, etc... often break multiple tackles per play! That wasn't hardly the worst tackling we've seen this season.

    It can't be the worst tackling, Green Bay wasn't even playing.

  • GoumindongGoumindong Registered User regular
    the tackling wasn’t amazing and that is why it was a touchdown. Everyone that could make a play was coming in from a bad angle and hard to route around blocks. This meant that they were traveling the wrong direction to get a good tackle. Which means they got run over because the guy they were trying to tackle was bigger than them and has inherent rules advantages.

    The only way that they were going to stop him would have been to get lucky and hook his leg. But they couldn’t get an angle to make that play because the lead blocker was defending it by holding the slot where that could occur rather than being in front of the runner.

    So it’s probably better to say it’s an example of amazing blocking. The blockers were able to recognize where the best chance of a tackle would be and then defend against it while trusting their running back to defend against the front.

    Jacksonville sucked. The best their defense was all night was getting a safety off of a muffed punt return.

    It can be both a great run and a shitty defense.

    The tackling was very bad, but the run was also very good or he doesn't score.
