The Thread for Reasonable Discussion...

Recommended Posts

I've watched both of the Falcons game and they appear to be a very good football team, and they are especially strong at home. Even before our Giants loss I thought they had a good chance to run away with the division and beat us in a blowout.

Then again... any given sunday. You've always got a chance to pull out a W in the NFL, especially when you've got a QB like Cam at helm. But damn, we really need the win. Rivera has to get the troops fired up and ready to play from snap #1. No slow start, spotting them a TD or two crap. With the extra time to prepare there should be no excuses.

Like when Eli passed it into Quad coverage

Huh? I'm not saying that every pass was to someone wide open. There were a few passes defensed, and just like a blind man throwing darts our zone would actually be in the right place every so often. But it was far too infrequent.

Are you trying to imply that our coverage scheme was working?

1. It would be nice if the defenders learned how to close their hands when the ball is right in between them.

2. Somebody not named Joe Adams on return duties.

3. Spread it out on Offense every now and then.

4. Mix in the read option, don't use it all the time.

5. Stew, TD, Bell

6. More screens if the DEs are getting upfield in .02 seconds

I was just referencing the play where it looked like we had Barden covered but we didndt and got dinked for 20 yards

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
