This is TJ Watt

He's drawn only 6 holding calls on 713 snaps on the year, a rate of 0.8%. Yeah, totally believable the league's best EDGE rusher and previous DPotY is only getting held at that rate. This is a problem all elite EDGE rushers have, but it's pathetic seeing the NFL's indifference. Gotta protect that QB play!

Im sure that is 6 more than Micah.
Protect what QB play? Half the league has complete bozos as starters to finish the season and I don’t think one went down for the season after a sack by a defender.

and 4 losses.

Right but a couple of those could have gone either way.

My only point is that we were being lambasted for not beating a winning team a few weeks ago and now we have 3 under our belts and it has changed nothing about whether we're a real contender.

It was always a dumb narrative.

sorry. thought you were View attachment 694136talking about Pollard. :doh
That was part of it. I have no idea why he didn‘t just race to the pylon instead of finding a guy twice his size to try to truck. That miscalculation ultimately cost us the game. RB better be either on the FA list or especially the draft.

I wouldn't count on help today. I think the eagles will be rallying the troops and loaded for bear today.

But I think there's a real chance the next two weeks.

Not today unless they are more lost than even I thought.

Yeah. QBs are more protected today than ever in history. And yet half the league's starters are injured.

More regulation probably isn't the answer. There probably isn't an answer.

3-4 against winners and 3-5 on the road. Interesting correlation.

I was going to change the avatar and that loss was so lame, it doesn’t deserve it.
