The “Everything is fine” mentality


hepcat

Recommended Posts

This entire week the whole team exuded an “everything is fine, we will get things together, blah blah” attitude.

Things aren’t fine. This team is awful. Maybe one of the worst in the NFL right now. A huge losing streak is incoming unless the team stops acting like everything is “fine” and realizes what they are doing isn’t working. 

I’m sick of a horrible almost cocky bullshit attitude from this team. Rivera so confident in his now awful defense that he punts on 4th and 1 with the best rushing QB in the game. Cam and the offense think the deep ball is magically going to start working despite literally never even trying it in a game so far this season.

The truth is this is a delusional group still thinking what worked in 2015 still works and I hope all of them either get their heads out of their asses or get shown the door by a new owner with a real set of brass balls.

Did you know the leading receivers for Philly are 2 TEs

Folks asking questions after the Giants games were derided but the obvious signs were there. Bit of of season left to get back to form but the offense is getting worse and the defense not getting better 

It was so weird, people completely dismissing any criticism of that game. Now look..

I've been saying for years that this exact mentality within our organization and throughout our fanbase is the exact reason we aren't a consistent winner or perennial contender.  The lack of urgency to get better by instead just defaulting to, "well, there's always next week..." "well, there's always next game," "well, there's always next year."  

It's just a cheap way of dodging accountability and responsibility, while allowing the status quo to be maintained.  And here we are...  again.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
