    Offensive thoughts:  The concussions to McKissic and McLaurin hurt more than the COVID stuff on offense. Though, if TH can't go, then you're in deep doo doo at QB due to Kyle Allen being on the COVID list.

     

    Good chance Heinicke can't finish this game. He's gotta be banged up from last week and divisional games are rough in the NFCE.

     

    Could have a practice squad QB taking snaps from a 4th string center.

     

    Yikes.

  2. Reminder we signed Taylor off the street for nothing.

     

    If we had a better option, said QB would be starting. 

     

    IMO, the criticism is way off balance. No one is going to say Heinicke had a good game but some of those plays... there are plays where 3-4 linemen are on the ground and there are 3-4 defenders in Taylor's face. There are plays where our C is pushed straight backwards into the QB on ice skates. 

     

    And plenty of plays where Heinicke missed the throw, missed the open WR or held onto the ball too long. (and he couldn't finish the game)

     

    Now where the criticism is off-balance is listing Heinicke's obvious limitations but not acknowledging his play-making ability. Spinning out of pressure for the long TD and the 2pt were nice. 

     

    But with these divisional games coming up, we'll see some Kyle Allen and he looks healthy. Heinicke is going to be banged up

    This is something I've been trying to wrap my head around as well. Does our playbook not have hot reads? Do we not have any way to beat it when a team brings extra guys like Dallas was doing all day yesterday?

     

    If we do have that baked into the system, why isn't Heinicke hitting them? Is he not seeing the pressure pre-snap? Is he not adjusting protections properly? Is he just not looking at his hot for some odd reason...trying to do too much and not wanting the quick stuff?

     

    Heinicke is still a small QB at 6'1". He can't really sit in the pocket and hit reads. Turner kind of stopped calling screens after the Gregory int in the 1st quarter. 

     

    Our offense has to work, as in the motions have to open up throwing lanes for Heinicke to see and throw. 

     

  4. Gibson is simply a huge liability on 3rd downs and worse keeps fumbling the ball.

     

    That's not going to work in the NFL and is every coaches nightmare. Think Olsen was saying in the NFL that's 1 and 2 while actually running the ball is a distant 3rd. 

     

    If JD can't play we have to bring in someone that can pickup blitzes on 3rd downs. I understand no RB is going to block Micah Parsons 1 on 1 but Gibson can't be a liability out there. 

  5. On paper the Cowgirls are almost at full strength and should roll us as we're less healthy and now have players out on protocol. Their offense at full strength has rolled everyone. 

     

    But McCarthy giving us bulletin board material is a big mistake. They're still on the road and we're at home. It's a divisional game and anything can happen. Our team is playing with confidence. 

     

    Might be small but Pollard hasn't practiced all week and seems unlikely to play. Our D all year has been tough RBs and should give Zeke fits. We can shut down their run game. 

     

    Also doesn't make sense, but they'll have Lawrence and Gregory back pushing Parsons back to LB and I think that's a negative. Parsons has been a beast on the line; Gregory isn't upgrade. 

     

    I think this game stays close. 

     

    50/50 game. 

     

    23-17 final score either team.
