Bad retreat with pressure

[ThunderDan]

Game over. Pass rush ends game and forces Mayfield to throw the Int.

Had he spun back around, he could have gotten back to pocket.

I only saw 4th quarter of Saints Seahawks. Everyone online says Seachickens outplayed them. Anyone agree?

Saints made plays. Kumara ran like a beast. Great ST. Solid, solid team win. Seattle ran up a lot of empty yards. Wilson looks better than Bridgewater, but otherwise Seattle got outplayed. Ha ha.

They needed to go against the right tendency. Some change of direction would have helped.

Brownie O line can’t sustain blocks tho

When Browns had first and goal they could have run four straight plays with their TOs

[pbmax]

Matthews didn’t even rush. He just waited for Mayfield to commit. Like he was a spy at DE.

Just got Done watching philly/Detroit. Two weeks in a row, turnovers hurt philly. Last week Wentz threw picks, looked out of sync with the replacement receivers. This week it was fumbles. Their run game is pedestrian. If Jeffrey and Jackson are out, I think they’ll get beat up by the Packers defense. They have a chance of both guys come back, but I doubt they will.

Detroit looks solid. Not a great team, but solid at everything.

@edjsports
It’s actually our #1 BEST call of the week. Despite not converting it was the right call by 12.5% win probability.

[mraynrand]

Do those win probabilities factor in how shitty a team is playing at the time?

Not that I am aware of. Its about time and field position mainly. But their site will tell you.

The Saints play calling vs Seahawks was ultra conservative. Average air yards per completion: 1.8 yards, lowest in the league. Creative screen game (featuring Kamara) was the key to their success. It will be interesting to see if they open it up once opponents adjust.


Sometimes you get ultra conservative and the 2 ST touchdowns validate the strategy.

^^^ You play the game in front of you. If your ST and defense keep making plays and Kamara is beasting, there’s no reason to risk TOs/FP killing sacks by airing the ball out in that kind of road environment.

Sure. But the question always is, can you play a different game if circumstances change or did not play out as you expected?

Most teams can't do that without a halftime.

Bridge over Teddy Waters wasn’t ready for a free form whole offense exploration in the toughest road venue. If they don’t get those ST, defensive and Kumara successes they lose by two TDs, lick their wounds and get ready for next week. I don’t think they had any plan b. So the strategy wasn’t so much ‘validated’ as ‘gotten away with.’ But the guys who made it happen still deserve their props.

BTW, I need to get a video of Pete getting a ball in his grill. Jim Nance: “Pete Carroll needs a better cut man in his corner.” L.O.L.
