going conservative and still getting the W

We saw it today with Minnesota going conservative against Pittsburgh, then again with Buffalo against Baltimore. Both Minnesota and Buffalo pulled off the wins.

What makes us different? Rivera will never understand the killer instinct and will go conservative every single time.

I know we have the talent (at least in most defensive positions). Is it our defensive scheme? Are our defensive players also coached to go conservative (ie, don't go for the pick - just make a tackle)?

I'm worried Rivera also saw these conservative calls and says "well, those guys won, so it's the right thing to do"

What about Matt "cotton" Schaub throwing a pick 6, up by a TD with a few minutes left in the game. I'm am in no way for conservative play calling, but you've gotta pick your spots.

fair enough. I didn't watch that game so I don't know how it went down. I did see that highlight and it was a very dumb throw.

Seattle is typically a team that turns up the intensity in the second half.

houston didn't let off the gas...seattle stepped on their necks.

 

Huh? What game were you watching?

 

Lynch got all his rushing yards in the first half, Wilson was under a 50% completion rate and threw for a buck-15 or so and Houston was up 20-3. Seattle never had a lead to "step on their necks..."

reread the posts ahead of mine...and next time pay attention to the flow of the conversation.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
