Week 1's "Step Into My Office"

My nominees:

  • Special teams - Specifically the dumbass gunners who ran past Peterson on his punt return, stopped, turned around, looked at him, then appeared to wait for the whistle to be blown as if they thought he had called for a fair catch. There was at least one guy that did this standing about 10 yards behind Peterson when he caught it, and I believe there was actually two guys. Inexcusable.
  • Sean McDermott - All out blitzes on multiple 3rd downs, twice resulting in epically blown coverages for long TDs. Really disappointed in his calls. Some made sense, but these did not. Yes, I love the aggressive style, but that doesn't mean you do it the whole game, especially on 3rd downs with us controlling the game, against a team with Larry Fitzgerald (who usually requires double coverage).
  • Offensive Line - Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Ugly. Pathetic. Disgusting. Any other QB would have been sacked at least 6 to 7 times today. Run game couldn't get going at all because they couldn't hold their blocks. Just horrible. Worst part is, this is probably what we are stuck with.
  • Every WR not named Smitty or LaFell - Big, physical WRs that are not physical and can't get open. Thanks. Experiment over. Please sign Donnie Avery.
  • Merrill Hoge, Nawrocki, Peter King, and any other Cam hater - STFU.

That being said, if we shore these areas up, we have an awesome team. Regardless, I expect 7 wins is a realistic expectation. This Packers game is gonna be tough though...

I would invite whoever gave Beason clearance to play today

I was actually gonna add that as well, but that was a hard call either way. I said in the preseason that I expected him to be out for awhile and that I thought the injury was much more serious than they let on.

Really disappointing.

the blitz that resulted in the TD. 7 guys came on the blitz. 4 were left to cover 5 receivers.

d'oh.

the punt return. Everyone thought he was fair catching. He didn't. d'oh.

Can't win too many games giving away 14 points like they grow on trees.

I, personally, would add Chud to that list as an honorable mention.

His play calling was better than Fox's, but we abandoned the run early. A simple change to unbalanced o-line ups and off tackle runs gave us some daylight, but he didn't keep it up. It could have made a huge difference to our run game had they started using less conventional run plays. There should have been more draws too.

      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.
