3 Comeback Wins


Jackofalltrades

Recommended Posts

What started as Cam's biggest weakness, due to whatever the national media decides, seems to have become a strength.

That's not just 3...it's 3 in a fuging row. Cam has ice in his veins and the confidence now to put it to use. In SF he lead us to a game winning FG. Against NE he found Ginn and this week that freak starts the drive by having to convert a long 4th down deep in his own territory en route to making several clutch throws AND a TD to Greg Olsen to steal the win after a horrendous start...on the road.

I don't know that Cam has "arrived", but I do know that he's damn close. Meanwhile Luck...RG3...SMF...lulz.

I'm not gonna lie, after the ARI game I was questioning certain people on this team and their ability to win games fug the close ones. I was really upset cause I loved the way the players looked up to Rivera. So thankful things turned around and we're not just winning games against bad teams but blowing them out and winning the close ones against good teams. We deserve this as a fan base. 8-3 feels great.

Just to be clear, it wasn't always on the defense when we lost close games.  There were plenty of opportunities for Cam that didn't happen as well.

 

But when people talk about "clutch", there have also been numerous times where we have taken the lead late and lost those games because the defense didn't hold those leads.  If they had, his career 4QC and GWDs would look a lot different.

Well, Seattle does come to mind. Still, our defense blew it against Kansas City, Dallas, Tampa, and Atlanta.

 

Chicago too.  Even after the pick 6 when Smitty fell down, we made a field goal late to take the lead.  Then Cutler ran about 5,000 slants in a row and kicked his own field goal.

I'm glad we're winning the close games, and it does wonders for our team's confidence (which is by far the more important effect) but let me clear on this: there is no such thing in the sports world as "clutch."

 

Human beings have many wonderful traits, but also some glaring faults, and a combination of the two is that we're excellent at spotting patterns and trends, but the downside is we see patterns where none exist. That means we imagine that QB A who ends up succeeding one of their drives just because it happens to be the last one of the game gets viewed as clutch even if nothing else changed about the parameters of their performance.

 

So, I'm enjoying seeing some "clutch" play from Cam, but I'd much rather this team clean up their mistakes and get back to putting teams away early. Close games are not a recipe for continued success.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
