Been that way since Jimmy left.Let me tell you people something.
I do think we are soft and stupid.
Well the biggest issue is that we never have shit at backup QB.You know, you see teams like the Ravens that play to win exhibitions?
Us?
We pride ourselves in not scoring on offense in the preseason.
Yeah his runs were the best of last night. Looked kind of nifty.
Not you. Guess Helman will be a wannabe Cowherd now.Is it me, or is Helman emboldened ?
That is so awful. Saw a play where our DT was in the back field and the Broncos lineman was bear hugging him from behind. Nothing. I just don't understand how holding works apparently.
Yeah I mean what do you exactly tell the players to do? I guess the coach needs to say sweet things into the refs ears. Schmooz them a bit or something. I really have no idea but clearly we are doing something wrong outside of the games. I can't imagine the refs wanted to influence a preseason game that badly. So why the extreme bias?Read through the rest of the thread. One point I want to make. A head coach can not fix a ref's mistakes/bias. If we are having penalties called on us that aren't penalties, the HC can't fix that outside of appealing to the league for games to be called more fairly.
It's the most ambiguous, subjective penalty in the game that could be called on any play, so it's weaponized against us.That is so awful. Saw a play where our DT was in the back field and the Broncos lineman was bear hugging him from behind. Nothing. I just don't understand how holding works apparently.
It's ridiculous to claim those penalties are the coaches or players fault. Do you tell your players to never hit the QB? Or to not block someone?Yeah I mean what do you exactly tell the players to do? I guess the coach needs to say sweet things into the refs ears. Schmooz them a bit or something.

Is it a perception thing? Like we have a reputation for dirty play so the refs see it when it's not there? I honestly just don't know. But I can't do another regular season of this.
Smith's technique is sloppy here with high pads and high hands, getting him in a position where he's belly to belly and making it more likely that a flag is thrown as the DL tries to move one way or the other.
