MM deep throws

Ahh, must have been thinking of another play. Either way, false starts and illegal formation penalties should not happen.

Especially illegal formation. I can handle a few false starts and holds, but illegal formation and something like offensive pass interface, inelligible downfield, etc. shouldn't happen.

calling an offensively lineman for ineligible down field on a play where Clausen threw the ball away was a head scratcher.

I thought the officials called the game a little "off" if you will but whatever. I'll spare you all my HBO conspiracy theories. lol

Well, that one fumble recovery where the guy was on someones back (was that Beason?) was probably not a fumble (pretty sure he had already landed then it was stripped), but the cameras couldn't even see the ball, so I think we got lucky on that one.

Judging by the reaction time of the Jets players I think they called the fumble wrong too. They didn't react until they guy was down. But you couldn't see anything so it held up.

Exactly.

But, it doesn't matter if he was down or not. They called it a fumble, so it was a fumble. 89. Bottom line.

A lot of people think preseason is unnecessary in almost every aspect of the game, but the truth is that situations like this one are exactly why the quality of football improves when the games start to count.

In the regular season, those false starts and illegal formations will be at a minimum. In the regular season, by the time we get there, LaFell or "LaFall", as he was called all night, will have seen that play enough to make him sick and will know what to do next time he gets a jump ball. Same for the muffed punts.

Matt Moore has no business throwing a ball that long anyways, IMO. He just doesn't have the arm for it. Watching Clausen throw after watching Moore throw is like comparing a pea shooter to a shotgun. Not saying that makes him a better QB, but let Clausen take those snaps in a heave ho situation. Or even Cantwell, who beats them all in distance and velocity.

Idk if I agree with all of that.

Matt Moore hooked up with Smitty a couple of times down field on very well-placed balls late last season.

Actually, he did a pretty good job on that pass (IMO, obviously). It was pretty accurate considering the distance. I think LaFell could've been in a better position for that catch.

[...] beats them all in distance and velocity.

Nah, I got that, bruh.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
