Penalties or drops negate so many Mahomes INTs. It's actually kinda nuts.
That call was dog shit.
That call was dog shit.
The game was over, as well, so no reason to make that call when the ball was under-thrown to boot.
His footwork, decision making and overall feel for the game have been atrocious. And that's not anything new.
“Whatever your opinion of it is,” said Collinsworth, taking a real proud stand on ending racism.
Almost every qb makes bad decisions when they have a defensive player in their lap when they get the snap.
I need to get a face shield like Andy Reid’s. That thing is fucking disgusting —if you wore it to the store, you’d have no trouble with people keeping six feet away from you.
When you don't see Mathieu lined up on the LOS on your strong side and he proceeds to blitz in your face and you toss a terrible back foot INT that's on you.
100.5 career QB rating. He's 24-13 in his career.
He's made the playoffs both his seasons.(not including the season he was injured in Week 7) He's won a playoff game. He's got over 1200 yards rushing and 15 TDs in 38 games. He's a few days shy of his 25th birthday.
You called him atrocious.
Watson was under pressure all night. Howard is a fucking turnstile at RT. Seriously he should start charging people $1.00 per pass-through fare and he would be rich by the end of the game.
What I wish I knew was if the receivers were open much last night. It seemed like Watson was either under pressure or lost faith in his guys getting open by the 3rd quarter. You could see him clearly frustrated. I will see if gamepass loaded and review.
I know this is a Patriots board but damn if CEH isn't just a treat to watch. He has his warts: power isn't his game, his pass pro is weak, he has a small catch radius, he is a bit undersized at around 210 pounds, and he doesn't have top end speed. Minus the pass pro issues and his effectiveness punching the ball in... who cares? His elusiveness, vision, decision-making, and burst are all elite. You don't have to break tackles if they can't touch you. You need a guy who can dominate in a majority zone scheme? He's your guy. I know it is unlikely that all 8 of these guys hit but I wouldn't be surprised if JK Dobbins, CEH, Zack Moss, Jonathan Taylor, AJ Dillon, Cam Akers, Swift, and Gibson all had successful careers in the NFL. This was a great RB class - and those are just the most likely starters or #1 in the committee backs. There were also multiple down the depth chart committee backs of various types like receiving and/or scat backs and power backs.
Get back to you all on the Houston receivers ASAP.
Edit: Antonio Gibson. How could I forget about my guy?

Gotta agree. Watson seemed to be all about the "jump pass" throughout the game, even when it seemed unnecessary, leading to worse throws and tougher receptions, many of which went incomplete. I don't remember him ever being this jump happy before - it was really weird.
He was atrocious last night, which was the quote. His career stats aren't a rebuttal to that post. Did you watch?
When you consistently look much worse than the first 9 games of your career you're not long for the nfl.
Seriously wtf was he doing. It was like he was taking something people have given Mahomes props for and he tried to to one up him. So bad.
I did watch, he was under pressure all game. It was not a great performance but his line gave him very little chance.
And I will note, you said, "His footwork, decision making and overall feel for the game have been atrocious. And that's not anything new."
And the comment, "That isn't anything new," is decidedly the opposite of just talking about last night. So my rebuttal was in response to you saying Watson being atrocious seems to be the norm. If I read that wrong, my apologies.
Yeah, I get ya but it was more meant like he was atrocious last night because he was doing things that he's done throughout his career such as having bad foot work, making dumb decisions and having no feel for the game. I'm in no way making the argument that he's a lifetime buster. I like the guy but he's trending way down imo.
MJD/Rice comps look pretty on-point. Has that low center of gravity/bowling ball component. Not overpowering but real tough to bring down nonetheless.
Direct TV online has already gone down, so you know it's officially the first week of the season.
There might be a thread for this, but does anyone know where to stream live audio for NFL games this year? I used to be able to stream games from TuneIn but they must have changed their license agreements because now they only have game replays.
And on 4th down they do another low probability, one option play. Great job Green Bay. 3 plays from and 1 and it looked like they were trying not to score.
Jamie Collins ejected for demonstrating on the ref what an opponent was doing to him (lowering his head and hitting him in the chest).
