    This game is still stupidly winnable. Tampa bay is also trash.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I usually don't complain about play calls. I think execution matters more. But that 3rd and long screen pass is straight trolling.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    You're not gonna get OPI when the defensive guy initiates the contact. You can't start the contact, lose, and get the call.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah that's gonna be a problem by the end of the season.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Oh hi Justin Fields, there you are. Drop back, plenty of time, hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop take the sack.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    First play after the turnover, go deep.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Didn't look crazy bad but it's obviously hard to tell. Nothing obviously wrong with Brisker, Jackson had a slight limp.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    But we're winning! Defense doesn't matter. (jk) ((mostly))
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    That TB wide reciever looks like a little kid out there
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Psychologically they needed that drive desperately.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bucs WR did a good job of not giving up on the near-INT and getting some hand on it, I don't think it was a stone-cold drop. Tyrique Stevenson getting worked early.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    The release and shot on the first goal is absolutely bonkers. He's going to be an absolute menace on the power play.

    Well, it's game day. The last week has been a fun-bad blast from a doom boner perspective. But maybe this one will just be regular fun? I've seen stranger things in sports.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    That sucks. Not even on a football level, but on a personal level, it wasn't fair to put him out there last week if things are going that bad for him.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    *Maybe* It's just a coincidence that both he and the defensive coordinator have "personal reasons" this week, but it sure feels like this team imploded faster than any team I've ever seen. That said, I'm not gonna rule a dead cat bounce in the next few weeks. There's no way the doom boner pays off *this* hard, this fast.

    Time stamps 6:45, 8:58, 13:38, 30:04 (this is the one where he explicitly says Fields is masking his turning down the field throws down with checkdowns), 31:25, 36:11. 46:00, 47:22, 49:27. 9 plays where he explicitly blames Fields for not making a downfield throw.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    You're right but I just got 2004 ptsd reading that.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Fair enough. Just watched that play again and he looks to the left and says something, not toward Mooney's side, but I don't know what their signals are so maybe it was.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Something I noticed with Hurt on Thursday night is a lot of plays where he signalled something to a receiver at the line and it resulted in a wide open throw. Has fields ever done that? Im drawing a blank but am a known idiot, maybe im just forgetting

    Re: not having a good pass rush while trying to run a cover 2. The thing that has really convinced me that Poles isn't it is his weird sense of positional priorities. I bought the "maybe he's on to something and we don't really need edges, it's all about coverage now" hype a bit in the offseason and I was wrong. The first draft pick he ever made was a safety. We've drafted like 17 cornerbacks. We're trying to limp along at left tackle with a 5th rounder who is ok for being a fifth rounder. By money and draft capital, the market has determined the three most valuable positions in the NFL are QB, LT and edge. Those are the three positions we've invested the least in under Poles.

    It was great, but for me it was "sabotage mode" when Davis not only doesn't block his guy, he literally goes over to the teammate on his left and knocks him off a clean block. Bear jacks would have literally been an improvement on that play
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    You might be the only one here who dislikes more of what Poles has done than I do. I'm never going to complain about getting a really good OT.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Watch the QB school video and apologize.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Just a completely wild thought, maybe wrong: Could having so many players not knowing how to execute concepts be a side effect of prioritizing RAS so heavily? Anytime you prioritize one thing, you're depriortizing others by implication, and emphasizing athleticism could mean de-emphasizing tehcnique and polish.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's just so relentless. Almost like everyone was taking turns screwing up. Hopeless play design, then a good play design and Justin Fields no-reads wide open recievers, then a play where the offensive line does something shockingly dumb. Repeat the cycle over for the entire game. The phase "sabotage mode" kept coming up and it cracked me up. Nate Davis declining to block his man and instead shoving his own center off of a successful block, leaving two guys with clear shots at Fields. Braxton Jones just declining to block his guy then doing jumping jacks down the line because he doens't know what else to do during the play with no one to block.
