    Gary needs to stop trying to be velcro on that RT. Parsons is getting doubled and tripled and the rest of the dline isnt getting pressure
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    Pickens drops that but makes that insane catch inside the 5
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Collinsworth rarely makes good points...but at the start of the game he stated the game may get decided by which teams bum offensive line doesnt get pantsed. So far, he is right.
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    What drives me insane about the offense is it has zero identity/consistency from possession to posession. Find a damn bread and butter and build from there instead of trying to do everything mediocre and nothing well
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    Agreed in general, but if Love gives Doubs a better ball on that 2nd down throw he might have scored. Dallas' defense is an atrocity, and you have to give the offense room to make those plays - this hasn't been hurting with Uber conservative playcalling - its not executing and making more drive killing mistakes on the line and at quarterback.

    And terrible Oline play
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Game turned on that blocked PAT - this should already be over. Oline is a huge, season-wasting problem if all the mistakes and poor play doesnt get sorted out

    The Packers have to figure out how to run the ball. horrible production every game this year
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    That has 100% to do with the cowboy game plan so far. So he has had an impact, actually.
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    This officiating crew takes 20 minutes to get every damn penalty sorted out.
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    Baltimore does a great job of not calling plays that fit their personnel...like at all. On the road in KC and Henry is averaging almost 7 yards a carry - but youve given it to him just 7 times and instead opted to watch Jackson try to throw and jitterbug their way to a double digit deficit And now Jackson is out of the game injured...they suck

    The other aspect of things could be that Murph would much rather wait to have Ashby get Merrill out in a key late game situations a couple weeks from now in the playoffs and give him less looks at pitches to look at from him now. Curious move on its own but everything isnt in a vacuum in these situations right now

    I want to avoid everything being automated and based on a measuring system that, quite frankly, could be manipulated at some point by teams/players in terms of high and low strikes. I've long not wanted a full ABS system in place to avoid reviews on whether or not the seam of a ball grazing the outer edge of the black of the plate should be considered a strike or a ball in the 3rd inning of a 3-2 game - or wind up with a series of "call stands" indecisive review calls after taking 30 seconds to stare at a graphic on a jumbotron. I don't think borderline ball/strike calls need to be reviewed ad nauseum - limiting teams to 2 reviews per game helps to keep that in check, and as others have said as long as challenges made are correct, teams could in theory challenge dozens of calls a game if an ump was truly that bad. At that point, if game time becomes a problem with the reviews, the solution should be to replace the umpire making all the bad calls. And I love the idea of players getting a dose of reality for those times they want a call reviewed that was obviously correct the first time. Not only does that help reset their own perspective, it hurts their team for later in the game by burning up a challenge.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    To me, the point of the challenge system for balls/strikes is to get rid of the obvious misses - not to try an add further strategical elements of what is already a very nuanced and strategic game. Teams/players have all the leeway they'd like challenging what they think is an important call that didn't go their way early in a game - they just have to be right and they should use it only when it's a glaring whoopsie by the ump.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    I actually prefer a series of repeated real-time corrections for umps struggling to make correct ball/strike calls where they are consistently missing enough where pitcher/catcher and hitters would want to keep challenging calls - frankly it could help umps self-correct during a game if they are setting up improperly or just not seeing pitches well themselves due to different catcher/pitcher styles. Instant accountability for some of these umps is a good thing, IMO. I can also see human element still being a significant factor if a team burns through its challenges too early, so there's definitely a strategy to only using the challenge when it feels obvious - there will inevitably be those late inning prayer challenges just to use it hoping a pitch call is reversed to benefit a team even if most everyone agrees the right call got made, but that is tolerable knowing the terrible calls that can change a game will mostly be corrected.

    I think a ton of why the Lions recreated last night has to do with all the Ravens' defensive injuries upfront. The Ravens were missing some studs in their front 7. When Goff can be a statue and their run game gets going, the Lions have plenty of weapons to move the ball and look unstoppable. Limit the running game/short passing game to Gibbs early and make Goff move and that's a totally different looking offense. The Ravens, IMO, are overrated. They found a way to blow a double digit late 4th quarter lead against the Bills in Week 1 themselves. It's early, and in the NFL you're only as good as your last game - if the Lions run up 40 points and 450 yards of offense against Cleveland next Sunday (in Detroit) against the front the Packers just faced, then things start looking like Week 1 was an aberration and the Lions should be favored to win this division again. I think the odds are pretty low for that happening on the back of a 200+ yard rushing day against that Browns front, though. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a home blowout, but that's more on that Cleveland "offense" being on the road and likely setting the Lions up with short fields/turnovers and not doing much of their own on the scoreboard.

    Some, maybe - but not the one he threw a pick on based on the entire O-line and RB dropping into pass pro the instant the ball was snapped, 6 guys in to block what turned out to be a 4 man rush.
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    The entire game, the play calling was too conservative - playing not to lose leads to losses in the NFL. The Packers have an interior line/running between the tackles problem - yet MLF continued dialing up interior runs, likely to try and melt the clock faster. And yeah, losing Reed stinks - but that shouldn't turtle the passing game to the point where your starting running back gets more that twice as many passing targets as any other receiver due to checkdowns. Take away that long reception on a well-timed bubble screen and it's 8 targets for a total of 13 receiving yards. On that brutal INT, Love had time to throw and read the defense but he appeared to have a predetermined throw based on the coverage he thought the Browns were in. If he reads coverage, he'd see that the guy who jumped that route played a robber coverage and intercepted the pass just let Kraft run free up the seam with the weak side safety ~5 yards away from Kraft trying to close ground with no help over the top - there was a chance for a monster play had Love made the right read. I thought this was the game where Golden could really break out - he did lead them in receiving yards but I don't think he was targeted enough. Plus, if Love gives him a better throw in stride on the deep route Golden did catch it could've been a long TD with how open he was.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    Jacobs should never, ever be targeted 9 times in the passing game. Plus 16 carries running into a brick wall. Unimaginative offense against a really good defense played right into their hands and created the slim chance for a terrible Browns team to win with more GB special teams ineptitude. This looked like early 2023 Love, when we wondered aloud if they could score at all. He continues to make awful decisions where to go with the football in tight late game situations, too. A mini bye for this game plan? Inexcusable
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Nightly reminder that the Cubs own the tiebreaker. Since magic number is now one i guess that must mean they are about to get white hot!
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Let's be honest - At their "peak", the Badgers still greatly benefitted from not having PSU, OSU, or Michigan in their division, plus those programs all took turns in some sort of scholarship/postseason bowl ban purgatory. The Badgers made hay by recruiting and developing players who would stick around through their 5th year, particularly up front on both sides of the ball. Them trying to play the same NIL game the bluebloods can with unlimited budgets and then have a staff seemingly incapable of developing players, and also losing their divisional advantage with the conference realignment/expansion is why this program now sucks. Im not all that disappointed though - college football is largely unwatchable for me no matter who is playing at this point.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    That's pretty harsh - if Rob Z had anything tonight this is still a 1 run game and Anderson isnt also in this game getting shelled
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    One of those nights
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Just a pile of excuse me hits by this annoying Card team... This ump is frustrating as hell, too...so is Rob Z.
