Coach Rivera is dominating the challenge game

Good job coach riverboat, who I believe leads the league with successful challenges this year, with 6, out of 10 thrown. Kudos to the guys upstairs as well with the good intel and getting it to Coach before the next play. 

Arguably without the two we won yesterday, the game would have been a loss.

Challenges have little to do with the head coach. They don't make the decision. Upstairs either says yes challenge, or no don't. Rivera doesn't have access to the replays so he goes by what they tell him. Was always unfair criticism of Ron's when people ripped him for challenges.

I was about to comment on this....and there you were.  100% accurate.

The HC only throws the flag...the guys upstairs are the ones that have to quickly look at these plays and determine whether a challenge is warranted.  The HC does not even have a view of said plays from the sidelines.

That's true but you won't hear the guy with the view getting either the credit or the blame. In the same vein, when we get a great free agent pickup thanks to Brandon Beane, it's still Gettlemagic.

I would imagine the HC still has ultimate discretion whether to throw, no?

yes, but only if he can prevent people from digging into his pocket and grabbing the red flag.

it should be better. if i remember correctly the refs blew at least one of our challenges.

The 4th down conversion by the Colts towards the end of the game. That was not a fuging catch, one of the worst calls I've seen in my life.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      The framing continues to be if you disagree with this top 10 play making….its then somehow spun as denying his improvement or hating. if you take Bryce’s career and exclude his last 2 starts……there really is no objective argument that isn’t a bottom tier starter to date. Is yeah, it’s cherry picking, recency bias and his surprising inability improvement driving it into a bit of silliness.  Literally nothing argued here except the top 10 stuff is overkill.   But it’s also the same time of year when folks can get bashed for saying Frank is a bad hire, Fitterer sucks and should be fired with Rhule, Ben McAdoo was a joke hire for a staff that forced into rejects, Rhule doesn’t know what he is doing and clearly exposed when reporters got into camp, the Sam/Baker comp and not picking one is dumb, and on and on.  Lot of frankly conservative takes are spun as wild hate this time of year.

      Doing a little digging and it looks like PFF didn't penalize him for the XL drop during that Chiefs game.  I also think the moral of the story is most teams aren't chunking it 20 plus yards for completions multiple times every game.  Hit a couple of those and you can be one of the top "deep" ball passers that week.

      Of course he needs to put together a full season and there is no reason to suggest he won't. His progress last year was great and unless you think he has already reached his ceiling he should continue to get better. That is why folks are excited for the first time in years. Who knows what will happen but to have a qb who finished the year playing excellently and is only going into his 3rd year, you need to be excited. At least until we have reason to think differently.
