What a lousy strategy


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

The Rams’ offense gave the Patriots’ defense a big advantage in Super Bowl LIII by running exactly what New England was expecting.

That’s the word from Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who said on Pardon My Take that he was shocked by the way the Rams did everything the Patriots had prepared for and never tried to surprise them by trying something different.

“I couldn’t believe that,” Van Noy said. “They really didn’t do one wrinkle. I was like, ‘What the hell?’ They’ve got so many good players. They’ve got so many things they’ve done all year, and the one play they gave us which was a wrinkle was the [Brandin Cooks] screen that hit for a little bit. And that was it.”

Geez, what a dumbass decision.  I can't believe an NFL head coach was stupid enough to do something like that :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Yea who knew that preparing for the SB isn't like preparing for a regular season game where you can't just watch 100% of the film on your opponent.

Oh yea and how does this coincide with division games being tough no matter how good which team is for most years? hmmmm so hard right? SOOOO HARD this math...rofl

Well to be fair although Peyton sucked in the regular season he was great in those playoffs despite the physical limitations. His brain is arguably the best of all time at the QB position and he essentially coordinated his own offense on the field in real time, that’s no easy task to defend even with his arm being shot at the time...

This, and having to play the refs made it tough too

I guess it shows that the first time you coach in a Superbowl it is hard to abandon what brought you there in favor of a new and different game plan. Unless you are the Patriots and you know from experience you have to change things up given teams have 2 weeks to dissect the opponent and prepare to stop their usual offense and defense.

If it ain't broke dont fix it sounds great till you realize the SB is not like a normal game or even a playoff game. Screw loose and have fun. Go in with blinders focused and mean. You can go and enjoy the experience when others are playing in it. Winning a championship is the goal, not having an experience. Party after winning. Leave the BS to the fans and weirdos that show up that dont even like football.

It also sounds eerily the same as the Broncos defenders who basically said we ran nothing that they weren’t prepared to see. It’s not about abandoning, it’s about not being so predictable we blow our chance when we were the best team that season. Unfortunately, we blew it. 

Yep. Apparently it isn't uncommon even with these cautionary tales to learn from.

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
