WildCard Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) And I attribute some of that to plain dumb luck.Eh Marshall and Decker are great receivers. It's dumb luck one or twice, not for 300+ yards from Fitz and 5/6 20+ yard plays Edited September 16, 2016 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Agreed. Their receivers flat out beat our DBs on contested throws Yep, they were on their man for the most part, but then got McKelvin-itis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) YardsPerPass (hat tip Brawndo, I think) just tweeted an NFL source quoting an NFL coach saying firing Roman makes no sense, like blaming stewards for downed plane, that this must be owner driven. YPP observed: More likely Darth Brandon. FML. Yep, they were on their man for the most part, but then got McKelvin-itis.Sometimes, I guess. Other times, they were on the wrong side of the guy, albeit close, and had no help in the middle.

Eleven Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Beat me to it. They had an absolute miserable outing. I saw plays where Gilmore missed the ball by an inch. Statistically, that's just going to happen more on some days than on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically, that's just going to happen more on some days than on others. Gilmore was terrible last night. I've been a huge fan, but his struggles last night weren't a matter of inches. On Fitz' first big completion he got burned. Fitz didn't lead his receiver and still completed it. Several other plays he got flat out beat.

Statistically, that's just going to happen more on some days than on others.And the first drive where he just flails his arms? I don't think there's a whole lot of bad luck for him last night, or Darby. Locate the ball earlier and position yourself better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Roman's offense failed to score more points that the Jets offense. That's how football works right? It's just offense vs offense?

That Aud Smell Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hmm. Maybe it was less scheme and just poor performance, or poor preparation/anticipation. A thought: Maybe the corners were surprised by how vertical many of the routes were and how quickly the ball was coming out. Maybe they'd prepared for different attack angles.

That Aud Smell Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Is Brandon the only common thread in the drought? He came on board in ~1997. The only others from the FO who've been around this whole time would be Berchtold and Overdorf, I am guessing. Those pre-date the drought, though. And those old guard guys were around during the heyday too. Edited September 16, 2016 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
