Looked like a rookie. Made a couple nice throws. Based on his facial expressions and the slight limp I'd guess that he got pretty beat up today.

I really don't know the first thing about calling and NFL defense but I do know that what you can do changes when four starters are out. Normally they'd disguise and change up their coverage looks thru the game but it seemed like without Rapp, Hamlin, and Douglas they weren't able to do that. Instead they dialed up more blitzes and odd man rushes than any other time this season. The biggest difference has been their difficulty in getting off the field in 3rd and long situations. For the last few seasons they've been pretty solid with that but there's been some regression this year. It's a real nard-kicker when the opponent is at 3rd and 12 and they sneak past the sticks for 13 or 14. For whatever it's worth, a defensive play won the game today.

Yeah, he prefers the left hash so whenever he has to kick off the right hash I'm kinda like, "eh, he's flakey on this side." I think with the chip shot last week he thought he'd just boot it and sneak it inside the right upright as opposed to trying to direct it to the center and run the risk of shanking it wide left, because he's done that before. I also think he struggles with short ones because he has a pretty powerful leg so the ball is up and moving pretty quickly and doesn't always spin the way he wants it to before it gets to the goalposts. We see all the time a kick that looks wide but then curves to be good. Sometimes with his that curve happens right after it passes wide of the posts.

Yeah but it would probably be one of those situations where they invoke that kinda unspoken rule with a veteran player like this, which means, yeah he goes to waivers but don't nobody go claiming him because he deserves the right to choose where he wants to play type of thing.

That one was a beaut, Clark. Drop in the bucket.

The bomb to Keon just set some kinda record. Something like 52 total air yards traveled in like 2.7 seconds or something? Fastest speed for that distance. I'm paraphrasing so don't shoot da messenger, eh? When that play happened live I didn't even see Keon catch the ball. It just zipped right into his mitts and he was trying to truck into the end zone. A real bummer that drive actually resulted in Bass shanking a 24 yarder. C'mon mang.

He really do come across like a genuinely good guy.

It was a slog. I passed out after halftime lol.

Yeah I think Jimmy got the rock like six, seven times? Ray carried it maybe three or four times. Josh did the rest on scrambles.

Typically I go into every game with zero expectations for the referees. Rams game was the first time all season I was like, "WTF are these nitwits doing??" It was pretty bad. That false start they missed on the Rams RT still annoys me lol.

Yeah that was one I didn't like either but the hesitation came from them not wanting to give the Rams a short field when they hadn't stopped them on defense at all at that point. Shtuff happens.

Mack continues to do what he's done all season, catch nothing but first downs or touchdowns. He's currently at 23 receptions for 288 yards, 5 TDs and 19 first downs.

Some of y'all...sheesh. 🙄

I'd suggest JT O'Sullivan's QB School for that stuff. I like his breakdowns a lot.

Just in case anyone missed it, Mack caught another TD this week. That's 4 on the season on 19 total receptions, 16 of which are first downs. You're thinking what I thought, "wait, 16 and 4 is 20, dummy!" And that's correct. My best guess is that they'll count a first down on a TD play if it would've also gained a first down.
