Did you see N.D.'s back in the top 25 (# 20)?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Teams with good qb play are not 2-6 and don't lose 17 point leads 3x in the first 8 games

They do when the OC CALLS for passing when they should be running.

Get a clue.

Never Carr fault

Speaking of the Raiders, which would be the worse decision? Letting Jacobs walk, or overpaying him on a multiyear extension?

 

[bksballer89]

Lets breakdown the Raiders 2nd half drives. We will ignore the first half as they scored on all 4 drives so im almost certain passing when they should be running was oddly not a problem then.

1st drive. Ran the 1st 3 plays. First pass came when they were behind the sticks on 2nd and 11. Carr had incompletions on 2nd and 3rd down.

2nd drive. Just as a reminder they are now down and it is the 4th quarter here as the Jags scored 2 tds on their first 2 seices. Drive starts off with a first down pass for 13 then an incomplete pass. They then run on 2nd down where Jacobs got nothing. Carr converts on 3rd and long which is then followed by 4 STRAIGHT RUNS. The next pass comes on 3rd and long which is a clear passing down.

3rd drive- 3 and out on 3 passes here. Once again you are down midway through the 4th so passing here is understandable. Still dont see the issue.

4th drive- Repeat of previous drive basically except they went 4 and out here but once again there's 3 minutes left at this point so passing here when needing a td to take the lead makes sense.

5th drive- Repeat of the previous 2 drives.

Long story short, Carr had 3 drives in the 4th to take the lead or tie the game and failed miserably.

Saw no issue with the play calling on these drives. How about you guys? @Wamu @Black Adam @Stakesarehigh

I have no problem blaming Carr when he throws INT's or turns it over a lot.....sure.....but he isn't doing that a lot this season.....so no.

It's the play calling mainly and the OL.....which you can tell if you watch their games.

 

[shopson67]

Frank Reich fired, Jeff Saturday (with no coaching experience) is the interim. Is Irsay back on the pills again?

1. Those incompletions were a result of the play calling.

2. see # 1

3. His receivers were off all day. See what I did there? Not Carr's fault!

A rational NFL fan would notice what you mentioned. That Carr had multiple opportunities to take care of business but didn't. Due to that gotta put that on the QB and not the play calling or anything else.

 

[shopson67]

Are they swapping Carrs at halftime? David for Derek?

 

[Black Adam]

The Titans couldn’t quite do it but they showed how to beat the Chefs, continuously punch em in the mouth.

Didn't know you hated us THAT badly...

In any case, "punch 'em in the mouth" only worked for one half. Even at that, the Chiefs were only down 5 at the half. Honestly the second half adjustments DID slow King Henry down and the stats back that up...

In any case enjoy watching your Ratbirds tonight. Umm, that IS still your team, right...?

Ravens fan yes but not just real hardcore. I grew up a cowboys fan but Jerry jones ruined that. Just a fan of how the Bills go about their business. My grandpa was a Chiefs fan so I rooted for them to win one, they did that so I’m done with it lol.

Hey what's the name of the former Chiefs wr from last season that signed with the Packers in the off season and took a little shot Mahomes? Wonder how he's liking things in G.B. right now?

That would be like swapping a Yugo on cinder blocks (Dave) for a Prius (Derek).

OMG Cowboys?! Well, glad you didn't continue THAT trend...

They're easily the most sickening team in the entire NFL...

Sammy Watkins. Yeah, pretty sure he ain't in a party mood these days...

That'll learn him to talk shit about one of the best QB's in the league.

 

[Black Adam]

Well, he wouldn't be the only player guilty of that. Tyreek Hill indirectly did the same when he got traded to Miami...

Granted he's doing well down there and he's getting a fatter paycheck like he wanted...

Well back when I was a kid they weren’t the shit birds they are now with Jones. I might follow them again when he’s 6 ft under.

I remember Hill was yappin'. It was absurd.

It would be ironic if the Dolphins end up playing the Chiefs at Arrowhead in the playoffs.

Playoffs will be interesting.halfway through the season now and I think most of us already know who's gonna qualify and who won't. The rest of the season imo is mostly about playoff positions...
