Week 2 - Miami: Let’s Groove Tonight

[Salem's Lot]

Other than maybe the Jets who is this team going to beat?

Washington maybe?

 

[lexrageorge]

I just don't like their offensive philosophy in general. They're asking Mac to play like Brady. When you don't have difference makers at skill positions, you need motion, you need play action, you need to create opportunities to get chunks, not just have him in shotgun all day long throwing the ball 6 yards down the field. He's not that level of player with those weapons.

Of course, when the Miami front essentially gets at least 5 free yards into the offensive backfield every play, playcalling becomes a challenge.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

We’ll get within one again

 

[Manzivino]

No moral victories this week, just hilariously bad football

 

[Reverend]

That Brady commercial: woah.

 

[Dollar]

Smart play. Let them score. Punt. Let them score again. Punt. Let them score a third time. Punt again.

Baringer to the Pro Bowl

 

[FL4WL3SS]

We’ll get within one again

No chance

 

[Section15Box113]

Other than maybe the Jets who is this team going to beat?

Dallas.

Just wait.

 

[Harry Hooper]

{Oops, I was referring to Dugger.}

That's his career. He'll make a couple of eye-popping great plays, and then he'll botch a couple right back.

 

[Groovenstein]

Of course, when the Miami front essentially gets at least 5 free yards into the offensive backfield every play, playcalling becomes a challenge.

Long snapper and a 15-yard shotgun?

 

[The Social Chair]

Being mediocre is fine I guess but at least be a fun mediocre team like the Lions.

 

[lexrageorge]

I thought they’d at least keep it close. Oh well.

Bill needed Tom, Tom didn’t need Bill this OL.

 

[Salem's Lot]

The OL is on BB. There were tackles available in free agency that are way better than what they have.

Those guys aren’t going to take the contract that Bill wants to give them. Bad value there I guess.

Of course, when the Miami front essentially gets at least 5 free yards into the offensive backfield every play, playcalling becomes a challenge.

I just thought we'd see a lot more creativity instead of "here we go Mac, you deal with this shit".

 

[Bergs]

The nfl is dumb without prime Brady on the Pats. What’s the point of this sport?

I'm actually coming around to this. It's an awful league.

 

[lars10]

Another week of “it wasn’t Mac’s fault.”

I MEAN.. WTF. If that's your takeaway.. that this is all on Mac than have you watched this game at all?

edit: The offensive line has been a sieve all night. No receivers have made basically any plays. The defense hasn't been able to stop anything...
If there's been basically a single bright spot it's been Mac. And that's not saying he's had a great or even good game.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

NBC graphics department is quite something these days.

 

[Section15Box113]

OL was literally hugging Bentley on that TD run.

He wasn’t in position to make a play, but hugged nonetheless.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I MEAN.. WTF. If that's your takeaway.. that this is all on Mac than have you watched this game at all?

Try not to feed the troll

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Went from a defense that looked like the 85 Bears on Adderall suppositories to a pile of doo-doo in seven days.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Declined?

 

[RG33]

I’ve never been so stressed about so many 2nd and 1s in my entire football watching life. I have no confidence they will lead to 1st downs.

 

[heavyde050]

That hurt and should do it. You just cant beat a decent offensive team with this offense.

It also does not help when the defense can't tackle and continually gives up big plays.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Declined?

we can take three plays to get the first down now.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Wait, why decline?

 

[RIrooter09]

Declined?

 

[GPO Man]

I MEAN.. WTF. If that's your takeaway.. that this is all on Mac than have you watched this game at all?

I’m not saying it’s all on Mac. Not even close, but he needs to be held accountable as well.

 

[patinorange]

The defense is always just good enough to give up that one back breaking play.

 

[Average Game James]

Huh? Why decline the PI and go to second down?

 

[Dollar]

Declined?

If they end up stuffed on 4th and short.....

 

[BaseballJones]

Why decline the penalty? It would have been 8 yards and a first down. Not accepting the penalty makes it an 8 yard gain and…second down??

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Why decline?

 

[scottyno]

Went from a defense that looked like the 85 Bears on Adderall suppositories to a pile of doo-doo in seven days.

Not having CBs will do that

 

[Salem's Lot]

NBC graphics department is quite something these days.

So basically the point of that is that if you have the best quarterback, you’ll probably win the division? Well no shit.

 

[Jinhocho]

It also does not help when the defense can't tackle and continually gives up big plays.

Your playing Miami. You are going to give up points.

 

[timelysarcasm]

It's not Mac's fault, the O-line was horrid and killed the game. But he's still not the guy.

 

[lexrageorge]

I just thought we'd see a lot more creativity instead of "here we go Mac, you deal with this shit".

How can you get creative when the OL is shit? They cannot run block, they cannot set up any misdirection plays, or even run play action when the OL simply cannot block a league average DL.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Eli Apple is PI with feet

 

[Nator]

Put Pop back in the game.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

The defense is always just good enough to give up that one back breaking play.

The offense hasn't done them any favors for two+ seasons

 

[shawnrbu]

Mac takes the small profits. Very smart.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Eli Apple blows.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Another week of “it wasn’t Mac’s fault.”

The Chaim Bloom of QB’s.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Apple sucks. Throw at him at will

 

[shoosh77]

Are we sure Eli Apple and Kyle Lowry aren’t the same people? Handsy/foul every play.

 

[rodderick]

Pats getting some calls now, good.

 

[ifmanis5]

Eli Apple is PI with feet

Pi-ped.

 

[OnWisc]

I was too busy watching Strange blow his block to see who the other guy was who also missed his block.

 

[rodderick]

Lol, sooooft. Thanks.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol that's a terrible call
