The real difference in the game

It's funny how things change when a few penalty's go our way huh? Not saying that they weren't legit but they were actually called this time and thus helped extend our drives.

Now the exact same play calling from weeks 1-5 is 1000 times better all of the sudden. People act like there was anything different. They were the same calls but they were actually executed this time. The offensive line picked up and gave Moore a chance to make plays. And about Matt Moore, he has shown time and time again that if you give him time he will make the play. He is the best "Fox QB" on the team right now. He's the only one that seems to be able to handle the 3rd down pressure we put on ourselves and make conversions.

Moore had a great game no doubt but the ball bounced our way for once. That didn't happen in previous weeks. I'm not saying that our team doesn't have flaws but nothing has gone our way all season.

Thank You!!!

I said this same thing in a another thread.

Alot of things bounced our way that didn't in other games this year.

Really their was only 2 games we had no chance in. Tampa,Chicago.

NYG = Matts 3 int's in the red zone and Jason Klye bad snap during the punt cost us that game. If it went the other way we might have won.

Cinncy = J stew and Goodson fumble on drives that had a chance Jimmy Int in the red zone Def. missing out on atleast 3 pick 6 chances. 2-3 of these things go our way we win.

NO = Lafell drops Dwill cut back mistake Steve not getting hurt in the 3rd qrt. We might win this game if some of these things went our way.

Point is we are a team this year that has small room for error.

Very few teams can win if everything goes against them particularly if the teams are evenly matched.

Were the penalties the difference? Any team that commits 11 penalties puts them at a disadvantage. But I would think that the pass interference calls were legitimate. Would we have caught the balls? Who knows. But in the end I am going to be happy for the win and not dissect it.

Do the reasons we won really matter? Seems to me that a win is a win no matter how you get it.

    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first. 
    • Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
