going conservative and still getting the W

We saw it today with Minnesota going conservative against Pittsburgh, then again with Buffalo against Baltimore. Both Minnesota and Buffalo pulled off the wins.

What makes us different? Rivera will never understand the killer instinct and will go conservative every single time.

I know we have the talent (at least in most defensive positions). Is it our defensive scheme? Are our defensive players also coached to go conservative (ie, don't go for the pick - just make a tackle)?

I'm worried Rivera also saw these conservative calls and says "well, those guys won, so it's the right thing to do"

What about Matt "cotton" Schaub throwing a pick 6, up by a TD with a few minutes left in the game. I'm am in no way for conservative play calling, but you've gotta pick your spots.

fair enough. I didn't watch that game so I don't know how it went down. I did see that highlight and it was a very dumb throw.

Seattle is typically a team that turns up the intensity in the second half.

houston didn't let off the gas...seattle stepped on their necks.

 

Huh? What game were you watching?

 

Lynch got all his rushing yards in the first half, Wilson was under a 50% completion rate and threw for a buck-15 or so and Houston was up 20-3. Seattle never had a lead to "step on their necks..."

reread the posts ahead of mine...and next time pay attention to the flow of the conversation.

      That order is wrong. That’s based on standings, not on SOS (lower the better). We are 8th right now on Tankathon but the bye weeks mess it up a bit. We have the 2nd lowest SOS among the 3 win teams so we are basically 6th if we don’t win again. It will be tonight to get by NE who has 3 wins with a lower SOS and a tough schedule. The nice thing is that the four 2 win teams play a bunch of games with each other. Jax plays Tennessee twice and Jax also plays both the Raiders and the Giants. The Giants also play Dallas. Only Jax has a lower SOS so it would benefit us if Jax loses out. We’d then likely be 3rd unless NE squeezes one out maybe Buffalo week 18 will rest starters. If we can stay at 3 wins, doable aside from the Cowboys, we will have a good pick. It would be nice if we can hop over the Giants and Raiders. I’m not a huge fan of this year’s QBs so it would be nice to stock some more picks for a trade up.

      Jacksonville Dallas and Tennessee should win at least 2 more.  Raiders and giants should win 1 at least 1 more. I really hope the Jets and grandpa rodgers can steal 1 somewhere.
