Imo this was the only somewhat useful trade they could have made and it only cost has moving down 2 rounds to do it

Oline was mostly fine this game. Yeah couture blew that play. But if I had to single out a position group tonight it would not be them

The improvement of having Alexander playing safety will be bigger than the falloff of having Thomas play DT. That guy has never let us down

If we want any hope of first place it starts Saturday.

I think the only guy I wouldn't want it to be is MBT. To me he looks like he reads defenses about as well as Streveler. Could kind of see it being Collaros as he might be able to pick up a system faster than the other 2.

Rasheed Bailey looked good but the team refuses to play him.

Lawler seemed good

The play I was talking about the throw was definitely available. But I get what you're saying about many of the plays

Have to admit Demski was wide open on the sideline when Strev threw that into coverage. But it seems like a comedy of non-play makers on offense.

4 losses this year. 3 against the east. 2 where we had substantial leads so those ones really stung (obviously). 1 against the Riders where our backup QB hadn't gotten into his groove yet. But all of our losses were away games. We haven't lost a home game yet. We forget momentarily after these kind of losses that we are still a good team. Just for whatever reason we aren't consistently a good team on the road. It becomes paramount that we win the rest of our home games. Not going to be easy but it shouldn't be. We seem to shut it down when it's easy and rise up when it's not. Big win coming up next week

Those are words. No doubt. That's all I have though.

People are arguing that both sides of the ball went conservative. Lapo went conservative. Halls defense just sucked

Yeah but the Als didn't beat us by dink and dunking it like a prevent defense should allow. We were getti g beat for huge gains. Guys left uncovered.

Offense in lapo style clearly shut it down after a big lead. Happens every time. That's not surprising. Our vaunted defense should be able to hold a 20 plus point lead.

The D line shouldn't get any stars this game. Sure they shut the run down but VA had all day back there. Defense as a whole looked like they went out and enjoyed that Montreal nightlife. They weren't even great in the first half, it was just harder for their offense because they didn't have the ball a lot

Streveler doing the Nichols stuff and the Streveler stuff

"mission accomplished" Yep after a return to our side of the field, getting a field goal is the mission

C'mon special teams...

Nothing better than getting a team to use their challenge flag early

Sounds like Bailey is sitting today. I hope Whitehead has a big game

I thought Neufeld still had one more game on the IR? Interesting that Gray is a backup. Also, which American is sitting?

Ah right I remember that. Momentary lapse in concentration. Still, not at all concerned. We've seen how good Drew's hands are

Has Woli even had bad drops? Recently he's had to stretch out for some passes that were not exactly on the money and they've just beyond his grasp. Kind of reminds me of Lawler earlier this year. Woli will be fine

I'm just following the logic of this thread. One poster was clearly going by reception percentage to judge hands and then when you said "That’s true, but that goes for every receiver we’ve had ‘‘tis year, does it not?" In regard to overthrows. It seemed to me you were implying everyone was on equal ground there. So again, following the logic of thr thread I thought you were on the side of using that statistic as a way to determine hands. But if not then I digress. It doesn't matter anyway. Reception percentage as a stat doesn't say enough and that's all I'm trying to get across

The claim was made that you can judge hands by the reception rate. And saying that everyone has had the same number of good passes (not to mention getting hit at the same time among other factors) is definitely not true. There are definitely stats out there that could help this argument but I'm unsure where to get them.
