Week 1's "Step Into My Office"

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
