Shades of 2015..

I'm not sure if anyone has made a thread about this. Probably has but yeah..

 

 

This win reminds me a lot of the 2015 season. Mainly finding ways to win. Not to lose. This game in particular, I believe we went to NY, it was that beckham/Norman fight game. 

The game it really reminded me of was the Colts win on Monday night? Or thursday? Where Gano won it for us too. The colts were underdogs and we kept it close but it was his fg that got us through it. 

Hopefully we do make it back to the big dance and win it this time. Today was a good day my friends.

For reference, here are the QBs we played in 2015

 

Brees

Luke McCown

Ryan x2

Jameis (rookie) x2

Bortles (lol)

Mariota (rookie)

Ryan Mallet (LOL)

Luck

Rodgers

Eli

Sam Bradford with Chip Kelly (what a terrible pairing that was)

Kirk

What was left of Tony Romo

Russell Wilson

 

every QB listed that you would consider “good” put up more than 20 on us. We mauled Matt Ryan in the 1st game then 2 weeks later gave up 20. Brees torched us in the dome, Rodgers and Eli mounted large comebacks against us. Russ got outdueled by Cam, all the scrub QBs we played scored less than 20 with the exception of Luke McCown

We got shredded by Luke McCown early in the season too. The idea that we had some suffocating defense in 2015 is a myth—-what they did do was force alot of turnovers

That has more to do with New Orleans offensive scheme being a mismatch nightmare for us than the defense starting off bad.

Nothing at all like 2015. We had a defense that year and a very opportunistic offense.

Defense lived off turnovers and Josh Norman. Pass rush honestly was mediocre outside of KK Short going ballistic. It did pick up later in the season when o-line quality around the league dropped. 

Playoff and SB stretch featured some of the league’s better offenses coupled with sub-par o-lines. Partly why our defense was so dominant through the whole stretch.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
