Blank Stare

Stafford is dealing tonight.

I’m still here. What’s up?

Take note on rolling your QB out Daboll. We rarely see stuff like that.

Look at the pass catching weapons the cards have assembled for Murray. Hopkins, Green, Kirk, Moore, Isabella, and Ertz. Pretty impressive group. Especially, for that backyard style of football it seems the Cards are playing every time I watch them.

I have no doubt you’re accurate in your play design, but you know what’s better than funneling your guy back inside? Using your instinct and just making the tackle. Edmunds passed up just making the tackle on Fournette to engage the blocker because that’s what the play told him to do. He went right by him to force the play inside when he could have just shown a little instinct and stopped it right there. Players rely on their instinct and deviate from script all the time to make a play. Rarely, if ever, seems to happen with Tremaine who tends to be out of position on many big plays.

I’ve been pretty patient with Tremaine the last few years for the most part, but that long Fournette TD run where he passed up just making the tackle to engage the blocker was the last straw for me. He had to go past Fournette to engage the blocker. Just make the tackle! Always thought he’d make a better OLB, but they never seemed willing to try that.

First of all, I’ll admit I was really hard on this team during most of the GDT. I can get quite emotional with this team. Speaking of emotion, I was damn proud of how this team didn’t tuck its tail and battled back. No, I don’t accept losing or moral victories, but this team needs to find something in itself. A spark. Confidence. Swagger. Something to get off the mat and salvage this once promising season. If they turn it around and get the wins they should to close the season, we may look back at this game as that moment. Josh is a damn warrior. The way this year has gone, I was really starting to wonder whether Allen had the ability to drag his team back when getting down by multiple scores. Not only did he show he can do it, he came this close to pulling off the win. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, it’s really comforting knowing that this is really only the beginning. As long as we have Josh, we should be in it every year with a shot to go the distance. That’s exciting to think about. Things I hated: 1. Brady (will always be #1 on this list). 2. Head coaching decisions (thought he coached scared most of the game and that decision to punt at midfield almost prevented the time necessary to get back in it. I thought it was pretty gutless at the time, and I still do. You could also argue the first field goal was a fairly wimpy call, but I get the desire to get points there psychologically). 3. First half (as well as late red zone and OT series) offensive play calling. (Daboll was awful in the first half. Came alive in the second half, only to squander the late red zone trip and the first possession in OT to win). 4. Referees (Come on…at least try to make it look less obvious). 5. Run defense (Seems like we have at least one big brain fart play a game lately. You could argue pass defense didn’t have a great game, particularly based on Brady’s stat line and that last play, but I thought they held their own down Tre and with that group of pass catchers. I think Dane will be fine. Would’ve liked to come up with one of those interceptions though).

***** you tremaine!!!!

Garbage call. Garbage.

These refs suck.

Refs are terrible. That’s two should be penalties.

Hated that third down call. Should’ve run Josh again.

Diggs looking clueless again on a deep ball. Come on dude.

What a play!!!

Don’t let this be ANOTHER drive where Brady does what he wants when it matters.

Let’s f’n goo!!!

Nice play Dane!

They’ll gloss right over Jerry on zoom. Either that or they’ll give him the “ you’re stuck on mute Jerry” OR “what’s that Jerry? You’re breaking up.”

Im still not over that gutless call by McD to punt. Cowardly move.

Wonder what their response to Jerry Sullivan will be this week.

Tremaine showing 4th down is embarrassing.

Tremendous call by McD. Really backed them up there. This guy completely lost his balls from last year. That failed 4th down in Tennessee broke him. And it was the absolute right call.

What a gutless call by McD.

Oh look…Addison making his grand entrance to the useless party.
