Davidson Deac II

I don't know, I thought releasing Cam and bringing in Bridgewater and no one else, made Rhule look like a Dud.

Don't know about Dallas, but I think Denver was using the Matt Rhule end game playbook last night. Their clock management and decision making at the end was baffling. 64 yard fg vs allowing Wilson to try and pick up the first down? If you don't think he can make the first down, then why spend so much money to sign him?

That Belichecky guy really doesn't know what he is doing. Won't be surprised if he gets fired halfway thru the season.

Baker was better than Fields yesterday. Fortunately for Fields, Trey Lance was far worse than Cleveland's qb.

I don't know that he is a fraud. Only people that know him personally would know that. I just know he doesn't seem to be a very good NFL coach. Beyond that, I don't know or care.

I thought it worked fairly well in the passing game. DJ, Robbie, and Ian all made big plays. Would have worked better, but for the batted passes and sacks.

The Cowboys might fire Mccarthy, but I doubt it will help them much as it will still be Jerry making the decisions.

This is the modern-day NFL. The rules favor the offense. No matter how good the defense is, any competent offense has a shot at taking them down the field and getting in fg range with a minute left. You don't give them the chance.

The interesting thing is, we did stop them on the drive right before our field goal, when we focused on stopping the run. So probably a lot of scheme/coaching decisions, but with significant inability to deal with an oline that was missing two starters.

Even if it was wrong, Rhule screwed up by not being aggressive on our fg. Giving an NFL team, any NFL team, a minute left to get in fg range, is too much.

Everyone but Cleveland missing field goals today.

Nah, we will hold them to only field goals in the second half, but Rhule will play for a fg himself with 3 minutes left and Daniel Jones will get them into position for Gano to win it with a 67 yard fg.

Regarding the Giants, how do you have more than 400 yards of offense, only 1 turnover, and only ten points?

It was an ugly game, with two bad offenses going up against two very good defenses. The less bad offense won. Lance may eventually be good, don't know at this point, but I imagine the forty whiners are glad they kept Jimmy G at this point.

Fields wasn't very good today. But Lance was terrible.

It looked great because he played great in the second half and how he played in the first is completely irrelevant in judging how he played in the second half. Not saying he will be our franchise qb, but for one half of football, he played great. I mean completing 75% of your passes under constant pressure for a 150 yards is great.

The refs were wrong, but we put Cleveland in a position to win by not going for the First down on our last possession. Don't give the refs a chance to win it.

I agree with you a lot, but got to disagree with this. Baker settled down after the first int and played a magnificent game, even with getting knocked on his a$$ for much of the third qtr. For the entire second half, he completed 75% of his passes and threw for 150 yards, and got 17 points. I don't know if he is the future, but at least for today, he played a great second half.

Yeah, there were some people here and on several other teams talking about tanking for Trevor. He may still turn out to be good, but at least at this point, I am glad we didn't waste a top draft pick on him or any of the others in that draft. Davis Mills had a good game today, but I think his coach hosed him at the end. Punted instead of going for it near the end, locked up the tie instead of going for the win. But at least they got the tie.

Baker sucked for first quarter and a half or so. But after the pick, he settled down and played well, especially given how much pressure he was under. In the second half, he threw for 150 yards, a td, and completed about 75% of his passes. But the coach went college ball on us before the field goal.

Did Mayfield nail your wife or something?

Well, this sucks. But I will say that Mayfield looked a lot better in the second half. In fact, given the amount of pressure he was under, he looked amazingly good in the second half.

We outplayed them for the second half, especially in the fourth qtr. As bad as the defense was at times, they didn't get a td in the second half. But our coach made a mistake at the end. I hope he can learn from it, but his history doesn't make that promising.

The clock ran out before the player went down, or as he went down. They shouldn't have lateraled.

Well, unless something amazing happens, this loss is on Rhule and Mcadoo. Not going for the first down was asinine.
