Josh Norman would have made a huge difference

I am not saying the sky is falling or woe is us but I just saw a rookie pick apart our secondary.. Norman would have been able to handle his biz against Thomas.. I think this might be one of the few miss steps by Gman..

Now look, I think we still run the south and make the playoffs but our defense looked mediocre AT BEST against Simeon. I just can't even right now.. that kick hurt so bad

Yup, I think this may be the season the love affair with Gettleman may change a bit.  He's fantastic at drafting but he cannot handle players.  The Norman thing was stupid, because we should have kept him here for franchise tag at least one year to make a run.   The Steve Smith thing in the past and now Short not getting his contract done (despite us having a lot of cap to do it).  I think he's a bit full of himself.   Also keeping Remmers around (but not as big of an issue as before).

 

A watch would have made a big difference too, becuase SIX YEARS into the league, he still cannot handle clock management to save his life.

He really would have stuffed that run for sure. 

Well he was a hell of a lot better at tackling than Boston. Think he racked up 5 missed tackles tonight, including one where Luke literally had the guy wrapped up and Boston ran in and bounced off.

What would Norman have done that Bradberry didn't do tonight?

He wouldn't have given up all those easy passes for first downs Bradberry gave up.  Plus, we could have left him on an island.  Norman shut down most of the guys he went up against last year, including Demaryius Thomas in the Superbowl.

We tried to blitz him the entire game and manned up. The blitzes never worked. A lot of their plays were from screens and short routes away from the blitz and the fuger being able to run since everyone is playing Man and the blitzers are all in the backfield tripping over each other. As someone mentioned above, the run defense was horrendous. Legit Luke was the only one who could shed a block and even then it'd be like 6-7 yards down the field for the tackle.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
