Can’t blame the O line. He does need that safety valve. Or learn to just throw the ball away. He worried about his completion % going down or what? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We capitalized on those - that messes with yardage and time of possession stats. So does not having any offense for the entire second half, but your examples certainly contributed as well.

He worried about his completion % going down or what? 🤣 It's all correctable and will come in time, once he feels fully confident in the offense and in the league facing NFL defenses. His throw to Dyami early in the game was on the money and shouldve been P.I......and his throw to Dotson would've been a TD if he hadn't dropped it. Sam had a great day other than the sacks he took but at least he didn't throw picks like Ridder did. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - already commented on that. EB got away from what had been working in that first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Of course, how many of those sacks are interceptions if he forces a throw. I think I’d rather see him take the sack at this point than throw a wild pass that is picked off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The O has had severe difficulty being productive outside of blowouts all year. It was royally masked by the short fields, but that same issue was very apparent today. Our O can't do a whole lot until the opposing D lets up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Those stats are disgusting. Ugh. This team stinks. Firmly in the bottom tier of the middle class. Again... Nothing to feel good about after this win. I'm sorry.

That’s absolutely abysmal. Complete Ron Rivera-sequence turtling on offense. Keep your foot on the gas and stop trying to be cute about it and run clock with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. I wish I could feel better about this win but they should have closed the door on these chumps in the 3rd quarter and it’s only because Ridder couldn’t hit the ocean while standing in the middle of it that we won. I think I’ve come to just accept the defense sucks. The offense had a chance to put up 40 today and just salt the game away. But we decided to try and sit on the lead. It pisses me off so much. And we subbed in our 3rd string RB to try and power run at them. It worked. Twice. The it didn’t and it was puntapalooza. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented already that we got away from what has been productive to us. We do need to be more balanced in play calling but we are a pass first team. Howell is the center of the offense. It had all the hallmarks of a Ron Rivera play not to lose strategy. I wonder if he’d talked to EB at the half about offensive strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed the two of them talking after the TD to go up 14 points and I absolutely knew what was next: run the damn ball and kill clock and squat on the lead. I blame EB for not “in one ear out the other” every conversation about game management from Ron. I blame Ron for being a complete wuss when it comes to trying to just obliterate a team and jump down their throats. He’s so passive. Screw that. We had the opportune to CRUSH those MFers and play backups in the 4th and we decided to run the ball with our 3rd string RB. Just pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, in the modern NFL you don’t sit on 14 point leads. The game can turn on a dime. You do it only when it’s a mathematical impossibility for the other team to come back.

If you’re up 14 with 2:45 to play, you run the ball, force the use of timeouts, get to the 2:00 warning, and the. Punt if you have to. But if there is more than that remaining, you’re trying to score if you’re up 14. 53 minutes ago, Captain Wiggles said: Or learn to just throw the ball away. He worried about his completion % going down or what? 🤣 I think you are saying that in jest but I think he has no concept of when it’s evade time at different points in different plays. Today, most of the sacks were in known passing situations and he ran into 2. One wasn’t on him. I can’t really remember the other 2. I think we’re getting to the point where it is what it is and it’s going to get better, but a better OL will help. Also he’ll learn as he goes. It might be time to stop worrying about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
