Hurney Sounds Like He's Ready For a Change

The Buffalo gameplan lacked misdirection running plays. They're playing 8-9 in the box, they've overpursued all year. We run up the middle once. Overthrow twice with Jake. The Fourth Down play would have been perfect to run a Fullback Fake or a Playaction. They had everyone on the line, 1 guy on smith. Pathetic play calling continues, pathethic execution continues.

I agree about coaching being a large chunk of the problem as well. Jake is failing at executing, but the playcalling and play designs aren't setting him or anyone else at QB up for success.

If Moore goes in there, sure, the vanilla routes and playcalling won't help him, but his decision making will be the difference compared to Jake.

I was watching the end of the first half of the PIT/MIN game and it's amazing what some logical/ballsy playcalling will do for an offense. Pittsburgh kept setting them up with long routes, which then caused the Vikings' defense to play a soft cover 2. They moved the safeties way back and on the Steelers last offensive play of the half, Ben caught Mike Wallace in stride in the spot right behind the LBs and in front of the safeties. There was no one within 5 yards of him when he caught it. One defender had a shot at him and missed the tackle and it was pretty much an easy TD.

I just kept thinking, how vanilla are our routes that I can't ever remember seeing a guy make a catch with no one within 5 yards of him. It's always hard for us. We don't set teams up for the next play. There's no rhythm to the playcalling. It's just an overall FAIL.

If Jake had continued to check-down to his backs and TE, instead of trying to throw over the middle, side-arm off his back foot, we win the game. Lets face it we had a choice between Gross and Peppers, he figured if he extended Jake, he could free up cap space and sign Peppers. What a freaking genius, now we have a washed-up QB and a DE that will be gone next year. To top it off he's still trading away picks, somebody stop him quick!

      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.
