Rivera Forbids Players From Talking About MNF

Tampa is a trap game. Atlanta to close the season is a trap. Next week is a legit opponent

 

 

There is a level of 'suck' that a team needs to be at in order to be considered a trap opponent. Any higher or lower and its not a trap game. Atlanta and Tampa Bay both fall WELL below that line of being considered a possible trap opponent, that and they are both HATED division rivals. Neither one is a trap game. 

 

I agree this week is a legit test though. We may be better at every level in comparison to the Dolphins, but they aren't gonna roll over. They've got some play makers. 

 

Panthers win by 10 or more though.

Well, he better be talking about it with his defensive coordinators. The Patriots, while initially getting blasted by our front line, marched the damn field on our soft, don't-let-it-get-behind-you defense.

That last drive was the EXACT set of circumstances that happened in Buffalo. Soft defense. PI by Kuechly. Difference? Home field and Robert Lester. We were killed with it in one game, got lucky in the other. With such a dominant game being played, I would like to see our defensive play calling improve when the other team has the ball to try and win it.

But Colin intercepted that Kuechly PI too. So it doesn't matter. The ball was close enough for the odds of the catch being altered by Kuechly were pretty high. I personally think Stevie flopped on the play and the ball was clearly overthrown.

II saw the "bend but don't break" philosophy  in the second half too.   After I thought about it however, I thought not having Charles Johnson out there probably was the reason why the coaches were forced to play more coverage.   But it worked.  They really played it the only way they could play it especially on that final drive.  If you play press coverage with two safeties deep against a 4/5 wr set there's going to be some deep space available for Brady to find.  They did a good job forcing Brady to manage that last drive different from what he wanted as a result despite 11 plays....their last play is on the 18.  It's not guaranteed but that's a pretty high closing percentage in that situation.

 

you're right they only had a 23% chance to win it from the 18.

We can't sleep on the "fishes" or any other team for that matter.

 

Let's keep this momentum rolling.

 

 

For sure, and honestly, TB worries me some as well.  They have been in a lot of games despite their record and with it right before NO, it could be dangerous.
