Yes there is. It's called favorable scheduling.

Really? Our schedule was pretty stout this year.

Not if you look at timing.

Are the Patriots a good team now? Yes. Were they in good shape at the time that we played them? No. We also caught the Packers at a bad time and the 49ers well prior to the Garroppolo trade.

We legitimately won a few games against good competition (prime example being the Vikings) but we also dropped some embarrassing performances (Bears, ugh).

Bottom Line: I know the cliches, but the record doesn't always tell the truth. In our case, I see it as an illusion.

When fans said CAP has fumble problem this what they mean. Last year he had like 4 or 5 botched handoffs but they don’t count in his stat sheet.

CAP is not an NFL caliber player. That seems pretty obvious at this point.

Stew got the vast majority of 1st team reps this week because he was the assumed starter.  So Cam and CAP probably had very little practice time and very few reps together.

And, I'm sorry to hurt the "two fumbles!" crowd's feelings, but the 2nd one that hit the ground was Cam's responsibility, not CAPs.  Its the QBs job to put the ball in the RBs bread-basket.  Cam didn't.  Cam put it on CAP's elbow and then let go of the ball.  Cam's fault, not CAPs.

Hard to blame that on "reps" when the dude is in year three of the career. Seems to me CAP just isn't much more than JAG. It is what it is. He is a 3rd/4th RB even on our team so if we are relying on him, things are already going pretty sideways.

lol

In the few opportunities he's been provided in the past, CAP has always delivered.

Now, in a game where NO ONE was able to do ANYTHING on offense, its all CAP the JAG's fault.

Okie dokie lol

Reporter: " How much not having J-Stew hurt the running game"

Ron: " I don't think that hurt us, I really think that didn't hurt us at all. CAP came in and ran hard his first carry was for 11 yard gain"

Expect more focus on the power running game with return of Turner & Armah.

More Power & ISO runs to setup playaction and bootleg for CAM.

Olsen & Dickson will have explsovie plays.

CAP should get minmum of 15 carries as CMC is tasked even with a bigger role in the receving game p.s. you can have both guys on the field at the same damn time.

What hurt us was they went Cam couldn’t hit water if he fell off a boat. So they did what every team does stack the box cover everything over 10 yards and let them run lose underneath because Cam want throw it underneath. And guess what completion percentage under 34%

You are going to have to point out where I blamed him for losing the game. I just stated he is a JAG. I suspect you will see him be another in a lengthy list of guys that doesn't really ever find a role anywhere when we release him. Not sure why this is even a debate or surprising. He was a fifth round draft pick, so it isn't like he is even a "bust."

For wherever else you and I may agree or disagree on Artis-Payne, I think we can agree on this:

Our coaching staff seems to have neither the ability nor the desire to develop depth players into future starters.  The attitude instead just seems to be to run the starters into the ground then get new ones.  Play the backups only when you have to.

I acknowledge there are guys who are never going to be more than backups, but my word can we not at least try to develop some of these guys?

I hope cmc gets more than 6 carries next week lol

This is Shula we are talking about.... That makes too much sense, so expect Fozzy to get 15 carries next week while CMC is sitting on the bench

[Mr. Scot]

Oh hey guys, guess what? Jimmy Graham isn't likely to be back with the Seahawks next year!  He's gonna be a free agent!

 

(now watch Sanjay go apes--t and everybody else get pissed at me)
