Please be mindful of your fellow posters.  Don't use the game day thread to vent or call out fellow posters as either homers or haters.  It's obnoxious and ruins the thread. Plenty of time for new threads after the game for expressing your point of view.

When we only need a yard for a 1st down, I  don't see why we don't "go heavy" with an extra O-lineman or even a D-lineman at fullback and just pound it in.

No we need the “JB Package” which consists of the same play ad nauseam

Buffalo bear Miami by 30. BY 30. It will be worse than that for us, assuming we even get there

I'd gladly take that chance, just get to the playoffs even if it means at Buffalo next weekend - would love to roll those dice!

Oh me too, I’ll take the drubbing at Buff over a loss here, but I’m not holding my breath for a Colts SB run

3rd and 14, 3rd and 8, 3rd and 10.  Looks like this last one may have been a drop, but still.

 

 

This my biggest grip with this D, they put themselves in favorable situations, but cant close the deal when they blitz, cant cover when they drop and rush 4.

 

Its a bad combo

After all, Philip isn't a rookie like Tua and if we can run effectively & play good defense, we have the potential to beat anyone we play.

I have been a Reich supporter but I am starting to question his decsions. Bringing in Brissett was not smart. He needs to walk over to Eberflus and tell him to do a better job. My God this is MIKE MCGLENNON. I told u guys this is not a top 5 D. It isnt even top 10

You can’t have it both ways, it’s either a bad D with good coaching or good D with bad coaching. It’s not like stats say they are bad and you’re  trying to say it’s because of coaching. You’re saying the coach is bad and the D is bad. But yet somehow they are rated pretty high...so which is it?

    • Congratulations to Ryan Kelly and his wife!!! Wishing for a new chapter on and off the field filled with happiness and positives for Ryan Kelly. 
    • Philly and Bills didn't take that next step till Hurts and Allen evolved as passers. We know the ceiling AR can hit as a runner, the passing ability is the X factor that Steichen is tasked with improving significantly compared to the running prowess. Till that happens, the legs will be the insurance to win games early on in the first year or two. Year 3 is when Bills got Diggs and Philly got A J Brown for Allen and Hurts respectively, and that was parallel with their big jump in passing prowess too, so Ballard has a part to play in it as well to get the right pieces around AR.
    • I don't think that's the case.. when people here say Ballard is good at drafting especially, it doesn't mean he has no misses in his draft picks.    I was not trying to convince anyone about anything. My point was Roseman does have a knack of fixing his mistakes, like he missed on QB and WR, but did get top notch players at these positions very soon, while still keeping the rest of the roster a championship material, especially in the trenches.   Most of the GMs including Ballard struggle to fix some position groups while few others break down. I think that's where Roseman has differentiated himself from the rest of the crowd. He's got some far sighted vision and execution.    Anyway, I can't recall how we got here discussing this in Hopkins trade, probably from Vikings drafting Jefferson. I was not trying to get any point across to you, I just try to add points to the discussion and sometimes it would elicit response from the comment I choose to reply. 
    • I'm not a football historian.  But a big leap probably came in the 1950s when the forward pass was being emphasized and a whole new level of complexity in planning and execution was introduced.  Then another in the 1970's when QBs like Bobby Douglas finally were relegated to dinosaur status.  Then another leap in the 1980s and 1990s when Bill Walsh and his Tree emphasized even more complexity and nuance.  Its probably been more iteration of back and forth and situational strategy from that point on more than its been an evolution as an entire league.     Many things get too complex for their own good and the evolution curve runs out of steam.  The level gets too complex to be sustainable and sort of implodes.  Then "back to basics" rises from the ashes.   The NFL probably has run its course in getting more complex so QBs like AR are probably in the perfect spot to capitalize on the NFLs regression back to basics.
    • It's simple. Watch Philly last year and that's what we will be playing; the 6 back offence.
