Week 2 - Miami: Let’s Groove Tonight
- Thread starter Groovenstein
- Start date
I think the first was right on the hash and he seems short when his knee hits. Not that conclusive though.
actually, one time was all I needed....easy overturn ...take off the rose colored glasses..
The only other options were to throw it past the sticks where it wouldn’t be caught, or take a sack.
Yeah, because the DL was in Mac's face again. Everything just not quite good enough.
This defense has something, Mac looks like a reasonable projection from his 2021 season, the coaching staff has no obvious holes... They just need to stop making the bonehead plays that put them in an early deficit.
Did Tua play better than him tonight? Honest question.
Edit.. and also.. if Waddle and Hill are on the Pats..how much better would he be?
Hard to argue using the Parcells Principle. But I didn't have high expectations going in to the season and they have managed to play well enough to give two really good teams a hard time.
They are an annoying team. Annoying teams can be fun to root for. But also annoying.
The real problem was the Miami defender slicing through our garbage OL and forcing Mac to throw before he got pummeled.
Oh come on, they're professionals. They don't have to react like fans.
Also the game ended on an absolutely batshit crazy play. Laugh a bit, sports is supposed to be fun.
Well the good news is those two drives a game or so in which they look like a well oiled machine offensively should be enough to beat the Jets.
The chains always start on a yard line for this very reason. They just need to compare the ball to the hash mark.
How is that possible? The red marker isn’t EXACT. It’s just a guide. The guy in the booth cannot possibly determine that on a play that close.
Stop trying to be the one honest cop in the town full of homers, some of you. Irrefutable evidence is the standard. That wasn’t in the fucking neighborhood of that. Who knows whether they would’ve capitalized, and they are completely pedestrian, blah team, at least offensively. And did plenty to earn the loss. But that was a fucking atrocious application of the replay rule. And robbed them of a chance.
That sums it up. Overturn sucked, but there were reasons the Pats were forced to pick up a 4th-and-long that had nothing to do with the official.
Seems silly that we believe the difference in the game is an offensive guard catching a lateral and running for a first down. The offense sucks and wasn’t able to run on a team that gave up like 200 yards last week.
Take that kinda talk out of the game thread!! Don’t you know this team stinks!
Wait, what do you mean by this? Are you saying the line to gain can never be between two hash marks?
The chains start on a tick and end on a tick (hash mark). They just need to compare to the hash mark.
Huge contrast in how the Patriots receivers always catch the ball flat footed and the Dolphins always on the move. The lack of YAC is tough to overcome.
Cool. The single greatest TE to every play would've gotten more yardage then this guy. Fair comparison.
Not never, because sometimes there can be half the distance penalties that put the ball on a half yard line for a first down. Or a team turns it over on downs from a half yard line. But other than that, every new series will start exactly on a line.
