    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    There was another team playing that day as well that spoiled it, the team that should have gone on to win the NFC Championship game, as well. Obviously the Dez catch/drop was a big moment, but it was a pretty good game in general.

    Touche. But there is RG3 leaping head first and never learning how to slide on his runs and sliding away from pressure and taking what they give you, smartly. I'm guessing there was more available to him tonight than 1 carry for 1 yard.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I agree with all of this. You back yourself into a corner when your QB isn't completely much (not that Dez helped at all tonight) and you're only handing it off once most series of downs. Then if he's only getting 2 or 3 on those runs, and you throw an incomplete, it's 3rd and long and you're...

    Not saying he was THE reason for drives stalling. But there's more than one run in there going for less than 2 yards that isn't helping them stay out of 3rd and longs. Overall he had a successful night, you just didn't see as many 2nd and shorts or 3rd and shorts as normal I'd say. He'd rip...

    He had some chunks, but there were plenty of series where he was getting stopped for 2 or less forcing you guys into 3rd and longs. I thought Dak should have used his legs more tonight at times.

    I know, just irritated that Giants been skating by with close wins and easy schedule lately looked inept against Pittsburgh and Dallas has won 11 in a row with a chance to clinch division/1st round bye and they come out and lay an egg against them. All we needed was a win and we controlled our...

    Cowboys fucking worthless. No help for us. Confirmed Dak won't be able to win big games in playoffs/cold weather. Put Romo in.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Reduced to rooting for Dallas tonight and next week since Brees and Saints choked it up today. Not that we deserve much help winning as ugly as we did in Philly. Still no idea why Everett wasn't ejected after the hit on Sproles. Just win tonight and next week Dallas to lock up everything, and...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Not quite, although I couldn't have been the only Skins fan yelling at Thompson to just go down on the 1 so we could run the clock out and kick the field goal. Everyone knew we'd give up 60 yards to the Eagles in way less than 2 minutes to give them a shot, just fortunate Kerrigan came up big...

    Convo you all might win today if this keeps up. D keeps turning down free sacks and giving up 3rd and forever, Cousins already missed Vernon Davis in the end zone wide open which led to an NFL leading 7th missed field goal by Hopkins.

    Daez I was out most of this past weekend, how long was it between you hoping for a blowout loss to the Pats to jump start the fire Fisher train and his extension being announced? I'm so sorry man.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I don't disagree, I just look at how long it took some WR's to get in and the guys that still need to go in before him and wonder when/if he'll make it.

    Well they can't really be "the fucking Rams" and "the greatest Show on Turf". Honestly though Bruce's numbers are mainly due to longevity more than anything else. He only topped 100 catches once in his career, same season that was the only one he broke 1500 yards receiving as well. His main...

    nerds crying about finale are funny. Shit was good and can't wait to see where they go for Season 2. Not that they can't fuck it up, they surely can, but I thought the finish was great. Pretty much all major questions answered, with a few other confirmations thrown in. Maeve making fun of...

    This is the big problem, I mean they have to give him someone but there really isn't anyone left. I enjoy his fights but it's a tough sell to people when the outcome is basically a lock from the moment the fight is booked.

    As far as RB's go, I think we're sleeping on how good David Johnson could turn out to be. Cards just line him up as a wideout at times and he's a match up nightmare. He needs to do it for a longer period, sure, but his ability as a pass catcher in addition to his running is pretty rare...

    Given how tough it is for WR's to get in, it's not too surprising he is slightly overlooked. Also frankly any WR crying about not getting in is bullshit until TO gets in.

    Ugh. Long day. Skins might be fucked now. Red zone bs reared it's ugly head again in the 1st half, and a D that gives up 3rd and 7+ at miraculous rates couldn't get off the field when it mattered in the 2nd half. Who throws a fade to Desean Jackson on the 1 yard line?

    Fucking NFL already blocked it. I really wish we had gotten to see what his career would have been. He was literally just starting to reach his full potential all over the field. I'm not sure if he would have been quite the same player Troy Polamalu or Ed Reed were, but I think he had a...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Only real problems with that formula is the small sample size. You end up with one blowout and it pushes your PE up quite a bit. Also defensive teams with bad offenses will score a bit higher than offensive teams with bad D's (even if their point differential for the season are almost exactly...

    Not sure I see us winning out. Figure we'll find a way to not produce enough in the red zone to lose a game or two. Wouldn't mind that finish that all though, obviously.

    Also of note on Cousins' Interception rate (shown at 1.6%). His career rate going into last season was fucking terrible, and it was 3.5% through the first 6 games last year. For all of last year he managed to drop it to 2.0%, and this year it's 1.6%. His career number though is still 2.7%...

    Some good shit in there. It's interesting because I post on Hogs Haven sometimes, and earlier in the year people were noting Cousins' yardage numbers and a few of us pointed out he's always been a guy to pile up yards, did it under Shanny, does it under Gruden. The major thing he improved as...

    Only problem for the Bucs is they still have Dallas and the Saints twice. New Orleans also still not out of wild card hunt, and they might just end up hurting each other splitting those games. Winston is pretty damn good though, and Evans is a fucking monster.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Forcing 2 punts in 7 possessions (4 TD's, 1 FG otherwise) isn't my idea of outstanding. As has been a problem all year, we'd get you guys into 3rd and long a couple times and find a way to let you convert and not get off the field. Offense didn't help only getting 6 points somehow in 4 drives...

    I better stop talking shit about the Eagles, we have to play them in 2 weeks. Feel like if we beat Arizona and Philly next two weeks (both on the road though) it'll basically kill any shot both of them have at wild card.

    Moon I'd say we could have run the ball more...but there wasn't as much of a point because we didn't need play action to continually get chunks of 20+ through the air against your banged up secondary. What's the word on getting guys back btw? It would be nice if you can beat the Vikings and...

    Conversely I would LOVE a 3rd shot at you guys...basically because we'd be playing with house money. We'd already have won a road playoff game just to even get to you in the divisional round. But man if we lost a 3rd time to you guys it would hurt. All credit to you guys this year, you're for...

    Well...as far as THAT game went, Cousins was primary reason we lost it. But he's been pretty damn good since that game. 1 TD, 3 Int in first 2 games, 19 TD, 4 Int since.
