So we are a .500 team again

[Rowdy]

no it hasn't. Dont give me this bs about he ran a go route wrong. Im not talking about the drive im talking abut that play.

The throw gave Doc. and only Doc. a chance to make a play, therefore it was a good pass

That is such bullshit. So if Doc drops that ball then its his fault b/c as you said it was a good pass. That is disrespectful to Doc. Do you blame any NFL WR who dives and is full extension that drops the ball?

No I wouldn't blame either. Football is a game of inches. Doc could've ran the route a little more inside or KC could've thrown a tad bit shorter that's just football. They both executed

I just watched the paly again. Doc ran straight and had his man beat by 2 yards. He had to come inside to get the pass and the pass looked short and inside. Its funny that the title of the youtube video is AMAZING CATCH. lol

 

[skinsdad62]

bullshit. It was a go route. That statement right there just knocks docs play. insane. When anyone looks at the highlight they say great catch not great throw.

look at the tape

 

[deanpet21]

look at the tape

just did. he ran straight and he had to come inside to ADJUST to the throw

And if KC put the throw on the money and Doc scored, you would have blamed KC for scoring too quickly and leaving you too much time on the clock. Mr. Objectivity. Right.

Oh give me a break. If he did that then I would agree with all of you that it was a good throw.

Aside from health, what do we need going forward??

We should all be about ready to bow down to the mind that is Manusky. And yes I was very critical of the hire. But I think Greg is showing that he can make it work just about with what ever you give him.

Doctson is showing that he might actually be worth the frustration of a missed season. Pryor.. meeh he still needs to be a WR #3 and we need a legit WR #2 across from Doctson.

And lastly we need to get the running game going. BUt that seems like a running theme.

All in all, I think most importantly this team is starting to believe that they can win when ever they walk onto the field.

Sorry, but you are okay with a bottom 10 ranked defense and a guy who has caught 50% of his passes and last in receptions, targets and yards?

Guess I got low expectations. I lived through the 2013/2014 seasons where we had a shitty defense AND a Shit show at QB.

But then again my original question (which you quoted I might add) was


What do we need going forward. As in hinting that I realize we are no where near a complete team yet.

@Sportster 72 Damn it man, you were supposed to remind me to take the Richard hat off.

 

[gkekoa]

Heh. So lemme get this straight.

dean is refusing to give KC any props for the play. While you're saying Doctson because of the way he ran. Turned what should've been a routine catch and thereby a great throw by Kirk. Into a difficult catch and only good throw by Cuz?

@Sharkinva

Or due to the time saved because Docy was a smidgen faster and scoreed on gthe play. That gave Russell Wilson and the Hawks one more play. So instead of faking a spike and trying to run a play. Wilson does spike the ball and now the Hawks have 3 plays, not 1 or to score a TD themselves or set up dude's potential 4th missed FG or game tying FG, Hello OT!

Not exactly.

Doc made a fantastic catch. I am saying he started off on a line where the ball was headed, then whether drifting or forced moved further outside, this by definition makes it a longer distance to travel, and had to dive for the ball. If the route had been run straight to the point, it would have been an easier catch, to what degree easier we cannot know.

My point with pointing this out is to say the throw was better than Dean is claiming. Again, to what degree better we cannot determine.

My guess is this worked out better for us. Had he caught it, he probably would have been tackled immediately and we would have had about three or four yards to go which could have been a disaster for us.

 

[gkekoa]

Dean...are you ignoring me?

 

[Sportster 72]

so I just went and watched the play again. When Cousin's let it go Doctson was even with the WR, he accelerated while the ball was in the air and did have to dive. (remember Cousin's said he thought he overthrew it)

Point 2 if you want to give only one guy credit and I don't even give a shit which guy, you are a football moron. It was a great throw, probably a better catch and all done with a short amount of time left in the game.

The argument is like two guys watching two girls with great asses walking down the street and arguing which one is hotter.

 

[deanpet21]

lol. great throw.

what we need is you and other others to evaluate games fairly.

 

[Sharkinva]

I do

We have...

A middle of the pack defense, that is improving but still needs talent and health

A young WR that is developing into a playmaker and hopefully will some day be a #1 WR because he is an every down player and not just an occasional high light

NO run game to speak of

A top O-line when healthy

And a franchise QB

debatable. IF KC plays well and our defense steps up like it did Sunday we should be just fine.

hat's debatable about what Shark posted? It seems spot on to me.

wasn't talking about his statements. Just how he evaluates games. Giving KC 70% credit of the win Sunday for starters.

You're right. Its probably more like 75%.
