The Eagles/Jags game once again shows why I always roll my eyes when any one fanbase complains that their coach is uniquely bad at game/clock management. They all suck at it because it's impossible to be consistently good at it in real time from the sideline.

Schotty is bad at it and so is literally everyone else.


They are bad at it because they are generally meat heads that are not particularly intelligent outside of a niche skill set not because it's impossible to be consistently good.


Nah, it's just something human brains aren't very good at especially under stress. Even from the comfort of their couches many of our college educated, highly successful fans cannot be convinced of stone cold realities regarding football decision making that even remotely conflict with intuition.

Saying a high IQ coach is necessarily gonna be good at using his timeouts correctly at the end of a game is like saying a high IQ gun owner will do everything right when a burgler breaks in at 2 AM. In both cases it usually doesn't work out.


Exhibit A is the Commanders game. Meat heads with no idea what to do

Lost in the shuffle of the Commanders' booger-eating moronitude was the fact that the Giants could have taken it all the way down to the end after the 2:00 warning in OT...Skattebo's fumble was on first down and nobody had any timeouts left.

They probably didn't trust their kicker at that point, though, so running regular offense was at least somewhat understandable.

This seriously makes no sense for the Texans. They already have a logjam at receiver and it's a wild overpay for a guy who is effectively one of the worst starting WRs in the league. Their 2nd round pick has a chance of being in the top half of the 2nd round.

Classic case of a GM convincing himself it's good value because of where the player was originally drafted.

What "logjam" at WR do the Texans have? Seriously, who are you looking at, outside of Nico, is a truly good WR? Your view is someone that doesn't know the team, because when Nico went out, they had no answer at WR…and while MHJ, may not be the answer, he is at least a big WR that can fill that roll when Nico will goes out again.

I guess I forgot that Higgins was on IR. Isn't Dell supposed to be back at some point?

You could say MHJ is Collins insurance, but a 2nd round pick that has a chance to be a top 40 pick is a hefty price for a guy who is at best your 3rd best healthy WR, and at worst the 6th best WR on the roster.

Maybe Tank will be back..he is in the window to come back….it may be a steep price, and I will grant you it is a huge risk/reward, but familiarity with CJ may help…you and I may come back at the end of the season and agree it was a good or bad trade…we shall see.

No Micah for the Packers Sunday. Not that they need him. The boat raced the Bears yesterday.
Vessel

The Bears started Bagent for some reason when Keenum is clearly better. They beat the Eagles with Keenum, so the choice never made sense. Bagent had a hard time completing a forward pass. Keenum came in and was kind of running the offense well, problem was they were down by 24, so the checkdowns and positive gains weren't enough.

Packers hit like 4 big plays in the game and that was the difference. Their RBs aren't anything special, so I actually think it's a decent matchup for us (theoretically assuming NFL players play like NFL players lol). Stop the run with 6 or 7 and keep Watson and Golden in front. Hopefully we can learn from what Flores did to Love early in the season.

Love wants to take deep shots, so don't let him.

When Ben Johnson can't even make you look competent you know you're terrible. Woof that was hard to watch.

Bagent started the game against the Jets the week before and played fine
Vessel

He was under 8 yards per attempt against the Jets with no TDs and 1 pick. Keenum was similar against better competition and didn't turn it over.

They were also able to run for almost 250 against the Jets. They just needed to be able to have the threat of the pass against GB and GB wasn't worried about it at all.

Quote:

Long-time NFL coach Mike Pettine is joining the Cowboys defensive staff, reuniting with coordinator Christian Parker. As the Packers defensive coordinator form 2018-20, Pettine gave Parker his first job in the NFL in 2019. When hired, Parker attempted to talk Pettine out of retirement. Now six weeks into the season, Parker has a veteran coach as a sounding board.

Damn, Packers went from being so-so to looking dominant Sunday.

Screwey season so far. Nothing screwier than the NFC East. Division winner will have a loosing record with a tie deciding it one way or another…7-8 or 8-8-1?
