NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Yep.

Stupid ass playing calling, running times against a top 10 run defense?

It's like they don't know how to call plays or something.

If you take away the two long, contested catches by Adams, that passing game was brutal. 9-18 for 70 yards and 2 INT. Calling more passes wasn't necessarily going to fix that, since without those two 30+ yard catches, the passing game was gaining 3.89 yards/pass, compared to 4.3 yards per rush. The end arounds with Hollins were really working, maybe there should've been more than 3?

 

[shopson67]

I said it before, they can call whatever they want. No punishment, they can dictate games if they choose to

Cry me a river, Wilson. They were taking extra hits on Josh all day with no flags. Can't tell from that angle, had Wilson even touched out of bounds yet?

 

[shopson67]

We're blaming the refs for them losing a 13 point lead with under 4 to go because they missed 1 holding?

Lol IT IS NEVER THE RAIDERS FAULT

Yeah, I'm sure we can find 10 more missed holding calls on each side in EVERY game.

 

[shopson67]

We sit around and argue whether this player or that position group is the problem. Here's the thing, that all comes back on the head coach. The buck stops with McDaniels. It's his job to make sure all the pieces fit together. On Thursday night we watched an ugly, sloppy game of football. That's ultimately on the coach.

Weird, I watched a beautiful game full of happiness and joy.

Yep, that step up from Coordinator to Head Coach is a big one. A while back, I read somewhere that most who take that step fail.

Maybe they need to pay coordinators as much or more than head coaches, then the push to elevate elite coordinators wouldn't be so prevalent. Just focus on getting leadership and management skills in a head coach candidate.

If Dallas fires McCarthy.....he'll be in Dallas.

Dallas is 10-3, why would he get fired this season?

If they get bounced early....speculation is JJ would fire him and go after Payton

What they really need is to bounce JJ.

He has Oklahoma ties and I’m told by someone that grew up with him that he is actually a very good person. He has created that whole persona for financial reasons, and it’s worked.

Pretty strong, you need Cook to pick it up a notch and Lockett to keep it up.

Was just going to say (as a fellow Cook owner) that he's been a bit underwhelming lately.

Yeah I got him on one team too. It’s one of my weaker teams but fortunately Pollard is picking up the slack. I stole pollard on all my teams this year.

Texas coach Chris Beard arrested and charged with a 3rd degree felony assault on a family member. Strangulation.

Wow.

Oops.

I'm hanging on to a playoff spot by a thread, but more due to Dak's injury than Cook's performance. I didn't draft a backup QB (10 team league) to draft Gallup and Jameson Williams into my IR spots and had to scramble. Drafting Waller hasn't been much help either.
