  1. Bobby is probably right, but it means Bobby knows more than Brooks knows. Brooks wants to see how his recovery is going and how the NFL views him, now.
  2. I would really talk to some people who know football. We have way too much talent to play that poorly against the pass. I'm thinking about calling Sweat later in the week to get his thoughts. The 15 yard cushion on 3rd down (I think it was the third quarter) was ridiculous but the openings all over the field makes me think that it is a schematic issue - no rush and still it looked like frequent single coverage. Maybe we need better defensive ends, but they are containing and rushing so I don't know how much they would help. But, no rush, and single coverage and big cushions aren't good combinations. Sark, definitely should have moved away from the script. If we are rushing for 10yards a pop and the defense is letting receivers run free, we need to run the fucking ball until they stop it. The pre-detemined split between run and pass is a myth. Do what works. And running the ball would get Penix out of rhythm and it would slow the game down, and it would have opened things up even more in the second half. And overall we played extremely sloppy and had way too many false starts, fumbles, and missed assignments. When playing against very good teams, you cannot win with all the mistakes we were making. I don't know if that was a player issue or a coaching issue (preparedness), but it will have to be corrected in an 11 team playoff. Off-games where we look totally unfocused cannot happen.
  3. Robinson needs to be taken out of the game. That was terrible. Picks up the ball nonchalantly, runs nonchalantly.
  4. This was one of the few games where a team averaging about 9 yards per rush loses. Now we are down by a decent amount and will continue to pass. Sark just hasn't given the team a chance because he is too committed to the passing game. I hate to say it, but Saban would have chewed him out much earlier in the game. And our defense has been really bad. We have way too much talent to play this crappy. We look like we don't know what we are doing. PK is overmatched.
  5. It was 3rd and 5 and as usual, we have a 85% chance of passing the ball. We won't pick up the blitz and our completion percentage on long passes is terrible so you can only hope that a quick hitter was called.
  6. I assume you meant IUD. It's way too late now. He is now old enough to fuck us.
  7. No, but at least we can put in a better coverage safety. One thing that hurts is that we are subbing too much. On critical plays we have our third team defensive linemen in. We have played Crawford a decent amount who looks lost a lot against passing offenses. We need to get our best players on the field now.
  8. Great pass by Penix. It was set up by that huge cushion earlier on third down.
  9. Yeah, I just don't get it. Why would you send so many ships to just take a defensive posture? It is said to prevent escalation, but it isn't really deterring anything. It is like going goose hunting (where we are the geese) on a cold blue northern day. The hunter can't help but fire a shit ton of shells, because why not? They probably won't hit anything because the birds are out of range, but you never know. And eventually, the birds are going to go home to roost. We aren't going to be at sea forever. Maybe we are just preventing Iran from moving troops towards Israel and limiting missile and drone attacks on Israel to Syria without any direct attacks from Iran.
  10. Is he related to the other Nguyen mentioned upthread?
  11. Eventually we will get hit if we continue the "Do not fire unless fired upon" policy. It will invigorate the Iranian supported rebels, Iran, and quite possibly even Sunni terrorist groups. So it seems to be a really ill advised policy. I blame it mostly on the Obama holdovers in this administration. I don't think Biden is this conservative in potential conflicts. What does Global Affairs say is the geopolitical reason?
