- We're finally seeing how much the Redskins overachieved last season.

- There's two teams that found a breaking point on the pass beyond reason philosophy taking over the league. Cowboys and Skins should've ran the ball. Callahan and Shanahan fukked up.

- Marvin Jones made me proud as a Cal alum, but damn if it don't drive me nuts that talent like that was sitting on my college's roster and never taken advantage of.

- The Raiders coaching staff ain't doing shyt to develop TP. It's telling that he worked with an outside coach during the bye week instead of his own. They just running slight of hand plays to get open/easy throws which ain't bad, but you gotta open it up.

To be fair this is the Chiefs offense as well and it works for them. :manny:
but they have the right offense to run It, a top 10 reciever and a top 5 back with a good solid young offensive line, we can't keep running draw plays and be effective with 2 230+ backs in our rotation and arguably the worse offensive line in the league.

Has nothing to do with turnovers. Denver D looks very weak IMO. They have one of the worst D's in the league and that's with an O that puts up a lot of points which should make life easier on the D.
you'll see how good they are if the offense can go a game without multiple turnovers.

I think the most worrisome element for that team is how soft Decker and Thomas are. They can't play through contact at all and are constantly whining for flags, Thomas straight got a ball taken out of his hands for an int today. Pathetic.

I feel like the Steelers currently run an offense like they still have Mike Tomczak under center. Hell the 95' Steelers went 5 wide on the regular yet the 2013 version is running this high school bullshyt.shyt is frustrating as fukk to watch.

No. The Chiefs aren't dinking and dunking while down 2-3 TDs. They're able to dink and dunk cuz they're usually up or tied. I don't think they ever been down by more than a field goal in a game to be honest.

Steelers need a lot of work and it starts with getting rid of Haley.

Breh....the O is not the problem in Denver. It's the D. But I guess we'll see.

Kid had talent. They were content letting the QB force the ball to Keenan with reckless abandon. Cal's teams always have talent with half ass coaching.

:patrice:

I'm still thinking about it. I've had a few folks try to convince me to go to that game. I got some folks coming through from Canada so they may save me from witnessing an asswhooping in person.

Ill pat my own shoulder here and say Ive always said that. people are too infatuated with his speed to overlook his flaws as a receiver.
I remember a couple of dudes were trying to tell me he's better than Larry Fitzgerald a few years back on sohh. :heh:
