I wonder if we win yesterday had Carson and Martin started.
You are definitely right on the board being founded on criticism of just about everything.There was pass interference on Lamb, sure. But if he was held so bad as you are inferring here, shouldn't the pass have been in FRONT of him? Considering his being held so bad would have slowed him down, right? But instead, the mistake free QB somehow let it fly 5 feet behind him. Weird.
And why do you keep bringing up Dak? I don't give a single fuck about him. Haven't mentioned him once. This is all about the mistake free QB. Nothing else.
Also, stupid shit is an easy target to criticize. Hell, this board was founded on criticizing stupid shit.
Yesterdays bobbled snaps weren’t on Rush.
Better than SF, GB, Philly (obviously), Pittsburgh, or for me, Baltimore.
Weird how the running game seemed way better than usual with a couple starters out.
My ideal outcome would be either Detroit or Minnesota beating KC in the superbowl.
They were also playing against a Dan Quinn defense. Not exactly known for stopping the run.
He’s got something in Washington though that we never had under McCarthy in very stout NTs.
I think it's a combination of who we played, them not being as good as people thought, us getting a few pieces back on D, and playing against DQ. Football is a funny game. It's not always about just talent. Heart and motivation plays a good part.
Scheme plays a huge part, tho. They were crashing hard to the outside, not plugging running lanes. Practically all game. Normally on runs we'd only get a couple yards on, against the skins we'd get 4-5 or more.
And it’s a travesty that we found a way to win.
And, Zeke only had 3 carries. His inability to do anything other than block can’t be understated.
Forget slipping in the draft. A few more meaningless wins and Fatso might get an extension.
The defense has been solid for several games now (relatively) and that's why we won primarily, along with Rush finally playing decently. I also think the Quinn factor added some extra juice for the defense.
I think some of it was, I don't think it's a coincidence that we barely had any issues with Dak/Beebe and that as soon as Rush comes in the timing is all off, basically from drive 1 against Philly.
