underdogs Juventus were teased unmercifully about being the team in the Champions League final four that the other three all hoped they got matched up against

my Juve fan buddy was feeling down about it, especially after their lackluster performance against Monaco in the Elite Eight after a dominant performance againt Dortmund in the Round of 16

I was telling him nobody wants to face Juventus in Turin, where Juventus has only lost 4 times since they opened their brand-new stadium in 2011 (three losses in Series A, one in CL to Bayern Munich)

and Juve, with their new coach, switched to more CL-friendly tactics than the CL-unfriendly tactics Conte employed before leaving Juve to become the new coach of the Italian National Team

nobody wants to face the Juve D, which is world-class and the best of the remaining teams

Juve's midfield is loaded and is as good or better than any of the remaining teams

and TEVEZ is a World Class striker. Their biggest flaw is not having that very very good #2 striker (young Morata is promising, Llorente is above average but still pretty meh)

and even without the young and electric Pogba, Juve takes the 1st leg with a 2-1 legendary victory in Turin!

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
