Weird fact, the Steelers have gotten our last five coaches fired after we played them for the second time in a season.

As for Hue, meh. I hate instability but dude sucked so whatever. Our team is and has been pretty talent deprived, but there’s no excuse for our record these past few years, nor our regression as this season has gone on.

I’ll give myself a goat for making an effort to watch that shitshow of a game while in London. Their “backers” situation is in the basement of a casino and it suuuuucks.

We’re super aggressive on defense, trying to jump the snap, make a quick read and attack. The Chargers had that scouted and used misdirection to chatch our linebackers off balance all day, while our line was getting shoved all over the place. Run straight at Garrett and he often runs right past the ball carrier trying to jump the QB.

We had no answer for their run game, our front seven got steamrolled all day. That’s why we lost. Absolutely zero excuses in this one.

Gameball:

There had to be a second sacker.

One thing I’ve noticed is Mayfield, when pressured, moves up and then to the left (opposite of JFK) almost every time. The Ravens definitely made some second half adjustments to take advantage, and we still beat them.

Mayfield also hasn’t mastered “taking something off” on his passes to make them more catchable (not unexpected, it’s one of last things young QBs learn), so I’d expect drops to happen during his development.

Not saying it’s all on him; especially a Tight End needs to be a reliable outlet wirb glue for hands. But the drops aren’t all on tbr recievers.

Njoku’s drops need to stop, but did anyone else catch his blocking? Dude has better technique and effort than 4/5 of our o-line. He absolutely mugged Suggs on an island a couple times; that’s nearly unheard of.

Greg Joseph after missing that 55 yarder.

Also, we’re undefeated at home. Let that sink in.

He had a shit game, but I’ll toss Greg Joseph a gameball for kicking the game winner, dude shouldn’t even be on an NFL roster (he barely should have been on a college roster), but he did the job when he had to.

Hyde is going to be amazing for Duke Johnson. The defense is gassed late in the game from fighting to bring him down, and they don’t…[Read more]

Ah, Soup’s famous Game Ballads.

Right Tackle, definitely. I’m willing to give Harrison a good shot at the Left side, remember he’s an undrafted rookie taking over for a future Hall of Famer who is in the conversation for best of all time. There’s going to be some drop off.

I would say we need line depth. Badly. There’s nobody beyone our starters whom I’d like to see in a…[Read more]

Word!

So now, what’s Taylor worth as a backup on our roster? More than a 4th or 5th rounder from the 49ers?

I just hope the line can do their job and keep him healthy through the rest of the season.

It’s almost as though this giant corporation’s marketing people knew their audience and thought this through in advance.

That said, I hate that we’ve hit a point in history where kids turn to Corporations as leaders of social change. Their interests are (obviously) their wallets,…[Read more]

Are we specifically talking close up shots of Baker? Or does a sideline shot he just happens to be in count? What about graphics and college highlights?

From a preseason Bills article:

“I want to be a force (on special teams). Where ever this team needs me, I’m just trying to make plays. Whether it’s at gunner, it’s at wide out, it’s at punt protect, whatever it is, I want to be available.

“Making plays, you’ve got to be versatile where ever they need you. If it’s scoring in the red zone, makin…[Read more]
