Week 7 Game Thread

[ipol]

Maybe a dumb question, but why doesn't the opposing offense tire at the same rate as the defense? More substitutions?

 

BTW, not being a dick. Twelve pack deep and I just couldn't figure out your question.

Offense knows what it is going to do

 

[Luis Taint]

Nice catch

 

[ipol]

Those inside linebackers are tough.

 

[Jnai]

Offense knows what it is going to do

 
Part this, and part the leverage is very different for offensive and defensive linemen for the majority of plays I think.

 

[Jnai]

Maybe one reason Bradford has spent the majority of his career in a hospital bed is that he takes some fucking shots.
 
Guy gets hit so hard.

 

[ipol]

Good to the no.

I think a mental aspect could come into play here too. Kicking ass is less tiring then getting your ass kicked. Which may not technically make any sense but things like adrenaline and positive thinking have physically affects.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

So throwing ten yards short of the sticks on 3rd down was a poor choice.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Thanks. I guess being able to target the defense's tiring players and avoid your own tired players on plays helps, too.

 

[Luis Taint]

A penalty on Oher? Get the fuck out.

 

[crystalline]

Bradford is such a tease. 
 
He can make all the throws, and he does make 80% of the throws.  And then 20% of the time he misses.  Not enough in this league

Also, defense generally requires all 11 going full throttle every play. QB isn't exerting that kind of energy, RBs get rotated constantly, receivers know when they aren't the target and so on.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Newton will never cross into the top tier because of that hideous throwing motion.

 

[canderson]

NBC just used Belle & Sebastian bumper music there. Woah.

 

[nothumb]

looked like kuechly might have just snapped his bicep loose

Shoulder, I think.

God, that is awful from Bradford.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Like, take 2 steps left.

 

[ipol]

I guess being a doctor is cool, and all but that whole, "touching people" thing ... <shiver>

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Short getting the sack while being held, that defense is full of talented players. This team could be legit. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

They're definitely very good, but I don't think Newton can keep up with a Green Bay, New England, or maybe Cincy.

 

[ipol]

A healthy Jonathan Stewart is a real threat. Been a while since he's stayed that way for a whole season.

 

[ipol]

Horrible fucking call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Well, he was fresh...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Bradford really sucks.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That is challengeable.

 

[ipol]

That's a dpi

 

[luckiestman]

That's a dpi

DB should have known that Sadfords throws really are that sad looking

 

[Ed Hillel]

Now the question is whether hitting the arm is different than tipping the ball for PI purposes.

 

[crystalline]

Now the question is whether hitting the arm is different than tipping the ball for PI purposes.

I'm not sure the arm was even hit.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Isn't that uncatchable anyways? Seemed way short. 

 

[luckiestman]

Isn't that uncatchable anyways? Seemed way short. 

That part is not reviewable I imagine

 

[ipol]

It's likely not to matter.

 

[luckiestman]

Bench Sadford release Sanchize

 

[nothumb]

bradford cannot get the ball out.

 

[crystalline]

Bradford now has the yips.

 

[Van Everyman]

What the fuck is with this O line?

 

[ipol]

Gotta hold on to the ball, son.

 

[mikeford]

this is the worst 4 minute drill in the history of football

 

[uncannymanny]

NBC just used Belle & Sebastian bumper music there. Woah.

"It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career" with a Bradford montage?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Ertz, perennial breakout year threat, perennial disappointment.

 

[crystalline]

The OL isn't helping Bradford.

I think Bradford is better than Sanchez. I didn't realize how bad Bradford is at moving in the pocket.


Chip looks like he has an ulcer.

 

[ipol]

Gotta hold on to the ball, son.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Chip looks like he has an ulcer.

 
"USC, Miami? ... Miami, USC?"

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Little things make a big difference. Not a terrible throw but good quarterbacks don't sail throws at open receivers with time in the pocket.

 

[ipol]

kick the fg

 

[Dollar]

"It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career" with a Bradford montage?

 
Either that or "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying."

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

CC with the most tepid endorsement of a QB's performance I've ever heard.

 

[ipol]

I'm ok with Cam Newton but he, himself, is really, really impressed with his performance at every turn. He's annoying to me but it could be that I'm the dick.

I've felt the same way since Auburn, but he wins so he can do what he wants
