  1. I'm not far off from this. I think the best shot we have is to score our opening 2 possessions and play with a lead all afternoon. Scoring is going to be tough to come by for this offense by the 2nd half IMO.
  2. Thanks for sharing. This makes me think we're really going to have to get off to a fast start to win this, because it seems like he's going to get figured out as the game goes along. I say that because the longer the game goes, Vandy is going to take away those timing routes, and we're going to see him deal with a lot of pressure like Arch does each week. Personally, I would be ecstatic if we scored 20 points in this game. I think defense and special teams is going to have to be the difference again. Running the ball successfully would go a long way, but I'm not holding my breath there.
  3. Somehow the offense clicked tonight. Still gave up 129 points.
  4. The "turn the page" era didn't even last 2 games, which tells me nobody was really turning the page. These chants need to keep happening, and I don't see any reason they won't. This team is likely to start 0-7 before they might have a chance against the Pelicans.
  5. I didn’t watch but I’m not terribly surprised. This was a flawed roster we could see coming from a mile away. We went from one of the best PGs ever to not having anybody who can dribble the basketball. Kyrie isn’t going to fix this. Also, how’s that “defense wins championships” mantra working out for you, Nico? We’ve been pasted 2 games in a row. Meanwhile Luka has 32 points at halftime.
  6. Weah could be an unfortunate casualty with this new formation. I just don’t see a great spot for him. Not that he won’t play a lot of minutes, but he’s probably 2nd choice behind Dest for me at RWB. Aaronson FINALLY score his 2nd premier league goal just now!
  7. Any lineup that doesn’t include a healthy Tillman is just wrong. Tillman, CP, and Balo are the front 3.
  8. This is about what I thought going into the season, honestly. We have zero playmakers in the half court. Teams are just going to prevent any fast breaks and force us to beat them in the half court. I just don’t think building a defense-first team can be a consistent winner in this NBA.
  9. Arena seems pretty dead. I think people are interested to see Flagg but still not a lot of fire. It’s also 9 pm so maybe that has something to do with it.
  10. Awesome to see Pepi out there doing with in champions league, but wtf happened to Napoli? Defending Serie A champs getting run off the field is bizarre.
  11. Imagine watching that Kentucky game and coming away pissed off at the defense. It might be time for me to take a couple of days off from the football board.
  12. Yea I have a real hard time seeing Zimmerman making it at this point. Would rather bring in the young kid, Banks. I'd still like to see Johnny get a shot again in this new formation we're playing. Part of me wonders if that will fit him better. I know we're all victims of the moment with Roldan having a good showing, but I'm still not convinced Johnny won't be a better option if we can get his club version.
  13. Thank you. I was also getting confused some.
  14. Aaronson has been playing pretty well in the prem this year even though it's not showing up on the stat sheet. Since he was put into the starting line-up, they have 4 points in 4 matches and should have had a draw against Fulham but lost it in stoppage time. I'd still like to have him on the squad, but I'm trying to figure out who I'd leave off to bring him in.
  15. The game plan against Florida was stupid. Sark refused to acknowledge he had an o-line problem and called plays that took too long to develop. Arch was getting the ball out much quicker against OU by necessity. We hardly had any explosives but we also kept ourselves out of a lot of 2nd and a mile. The other issue against Florida was that we had a center and LG who were just physically out-matched, with the LG also just being a terrible football player in general. Brooks is at least not physically out-matched, even if he's still trying to get better at the mental part of the game. That's why it was so frustrating they just threw him out there in the middle of the swamp without any previous game time. I think if they make this change in the Sam Houston game, we probably win in the Swamp.
  16. I'll leave technical analysis to more qualified people, but it was nice that these guys stopped getting stupid penalties after the opening drive. You can work around a leakly O-line if it's not 1st and 15 all the time. If all they did this game was clean that up, that is a massive improvement.
  17. I didn’t realize Ecuador was in 2nd in CONMEBOL qualifying and has only given up 5 goals in 18 matches. That was a pretty good team we had on the ropes without Adams, Dest, and Jedi. Very positive performance for me.
  18. Really surprised Ecuador has backed off so much. Maybe they always try to protect a lead like this?
  19. Balo! Let’s go, boys!
  20. Yea, it was a pretty brutal miss. Completely missed the frame.
  21. Pulisic vs Mckinnie about to kick off in Turin.
  22. Good to see McKinnie, Robinson, Tillman, and Tessmann back. Sands is also an interesting selection.
