Maybe. We’re the last team that has a legit chance to beat them. Reid wants to join Shula so he’ll be full in. If we beat them with Coleman and Milano out, I like our chances in the chase for the trophy. Josh will have to throw for 300 because they won’t let Cook get 50.
Flacco had 4-5 seconds on most plays. We’ll need a lot of bounces in the form of takeaways to advance in the playoffs against the better teams. I agree with others that there are no dominate teams, so maybe we get the bounces.
They have better coaches period. Spags will shut down our running game period. If we try to run on 50 percent of our first downs we lose period. We must throw early and often. Use short passes to run ala Montana and TB. Yes, we want to keep Mahomey on the sidelines, but we won’t win time of possession or the game with the run period.
I’d take a 1 or 2 seed. If game 17 is to get 1 seed, go all in, otherwise rest everyone even if it means 3-4. If Cooper is healthy and can play in cold weather, then we’ll be cookin’. Has he had big games in those conditions?
I agree that Josh and Capt Kirk dont belong in the same conversation, but Josh would be better staying in the pocket and stepping up in the pocket more. Would you prefer the comparison be to Tom Terrific?
