Secondaries in general look terrible in this league, but thats why none of them are in the NFL. Sure, it was one of the under guys that were out of position, but the safety had no business getting juked that bad.

BJ Daniels should've started from day 1

Doesn’t make sense that it took to part way into the 4th game to figure out Silvers sucked. Most of us figures that out weeks earlier

I know Daniels is older but he was good in college and good enough to last in the NFL for a bit. Silvers from week 1 just wasn't it

Terrible analysis... that wasn't a poor decision... throw was just a little off-target.

Houston giving up yet another score, but still feels like they should fully come back and win it. There is a talent disparity.

Houston has so much flexibility. They even have a Danny Woodhead / Christian McCaffrey like player in this Nick Holley dude. Overwhelming when clicking.

System disparity too. Run n' Shoot is king.
I've seen enough of your posts to know you have a total hardon for that. It's just talent at this time/level. They have a QB that can hit some fairly tight spots and reads decently and players that can complete plays. You could put that group in pretty much any scheme and they would be winning. Scheme can makeup for bad players, but this is an early developmental league. No team is tight on any scheme given their lack of experience together. It's almost purely about who has the best mix of talent right now. Those other things will matter more in the future.

Seattle's D is often slow and out of position. Particularly in their joke of a secondary. They would probably be 2-2 going into this game had Daniels started the whole season, but at best they are lower/middle tier talentwise. They need help to beat more talented teams.

Called it. In a young league the talent mix has so much more impact than anything else.
