SwampD Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 I like being 6-2. We need receivers. WTF was Foster doing on that pass? He really isn’t good. Daboll still outthinks himself. I like Josh Allen.

If they play like they did today, they may not win another. Cleveland, Miami, Pittsburgh, Denver, and the Jets. They're all a mess. And it's not like Baltimore and Dallas are world beaters.
inkman Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 This team has benefitted from playing arguably the second worst schedule in NFL history. (See Patriots 2019) Can't get 1 yard when they need to, can't stop the run, turn the ball over at key moments, bad special teams, mediocre pass rush, no WR that makes anything other than pedestrian catches. I don't have much hope.

Looking at their record of 6-2 I unless they fold they will be a wildcard looking at other teams records right now. Edited November 3, 2019 by Radar

Stoner Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 Does the NFL produce bad 12-4 teams? I'm asking for a friend.

They're gonna beat everyone but Dallas and NE?This team has shown a consistent ability to play at the level of their competition or worse.

I don't have much hope. The schedule isn't getting any harder. By the Football Outsiders metrics, it actually gets easier, and they're on track to finish with the easiest schedule in the league in like two decades or something ridiculous. My argument isn't that the team is good, it's that it can fairly easily make the playoffs without being good.

Eleven Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 2 hours ago, SDS said: Yes. Absolutely his fault. ? You quoted yards per carry for each back which were heavily influenced by game situation. SDS, Frank Gore didn't have his best game today. He just didn't. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be on the team--he should. But today, whether on the line or on him, it wasn't good.

My quibble is using his ypc when both teams sent in their fatties and he was told to ram his head into a couple tons of human flesh at least four times. 1
JujuFish Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 2 hours ago, TrueBlueGED said: He's also had normal situation carries he's done zilch with.ong of 6 yards today. Are you honestly going to try to argue Gore has been effective this game? There have been games this year he's played really well, but today isn't one of them. It's okay to bench the vet when warranted. To add, Gore had three 1st-&-10 carries and totaled 9 yards, 3 yard average. Singletary had 12 for 66 yards, or a 5.5 yard average. Side note, but we had 3 times as many rushes on first down as we had passes.

Hell, I might even get excited to beat the Browns. At least people thought they'd be good.

I'll put $5 straight on the Bills (current team--no injuries) against Jerrah's best on Thanksgiving. I mean a beer. Or a contribution to something. I don't want to get into trouble!

SDS Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 The Redskins have lost their games by: 5, 10, 16, 21, 26, 9, 10 and now 15. Seems like a normal result. No team has beat them by 30 points this year and I think the rookie quarterback did quite well.

Both of those teams are bad and the games are winnable.

The Bills beat the Redskins by more points than the 49ers beat the Redskins. They also beat the Redskins by more points than the Cowboys beat the Redskins. They also beat the Redskins by more points than the Vikings beat the Redskins. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The officiating was clearly in favor of Baltimore over NE tonight, for those that like to keep track. Including, most notably, the Ravens player pulling Lamar forward into the end zone. This is 10000000% illegal to do. Edited November 4, 2019 by Randall Flagg
