    HH to the refs for having the balls to call no TD while Streveler was lying on the goal line.

  • Winston Rose changed the course of history with that pick 6 early in the game. (Ah, that may be an exaggeration)

    How do you get Bighill on the field? WTF? Thomas Miles Mom would start Biggie over him.

I can’t ever recall any football game I have seen that hasn’t included a missed tackle, once, twice or thrice. 

It does happen. Some or the bad angles I get. They were working to shut down the pass and did. Plus our secondary loves to hit. Hate arm tackle attempts though.

Richie Hall is finally getting max pressure from his DEs...  our DL pure skill is making up for a lot of Hall's deficiencies in terms of blitzing

I don't know the Xs and Os well enough so I'll defer to the more knowledgeable but is it not possible to disguise the blitzes because it sure seems obvious when we are going to do it.

So the issue with disguising your blitz is that you leave your players in a less effective blitzing & a less effective coverage position than if you just blitzed or just sat in coverage. 

 

I guess Richie just doesn't believe the value in not knowing what's coming exceeds the value in having his guys set up where he wants them.

Well his blitzing hasn't changed in 20 years so maybe that's his strategy...  who knows

You can look really bad blitzing if the O knows it's coming.

Talent-wise, I don't think we can be matched on the field by any other team in the league. Where we might find trouble is in being too predictable and we suffer from that particular malady on offense and defense. We execute at a high level which allows us to get away with it but if we encounter another talented team that is executing as well as we are, but have a more sinister, unpredictable game plan, we might find trouble.
