Korsou Dawg

Myles earning his keep!

Good stop in the red zone though

At least the INT comes early this game

New gameday thread incoming?

For DW's gold digger accusers, at least it was a one-off affair. This poor lady loves money so much, she is stuck eating wrinkled d*ck for the rest of her new husbands' life. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/10/15/lifestyle/robert-kraft-marries-dana-blumberg-surprise-wedding-with-tom-brady-elton-john-attendance/

Our schedule ahead is tougher than the opposition we have played. I have been saying this season is lost for a couple of games already. Knowing this likelihood, we should be making changes as soon as possible to get the team ready for next season with new coache(s) and players. A new DC at least. That's the only way to get dividends from the DW trade IMO.

Their defense is better, but literally anyone can have a career day against us. Our running game will make us feel like we should be able to hang, but the same issues we had in previous games are unresolved, and make it a fairly easy win for the Patsies. Having added a decent LB is not going to change much.

Makes little sense to keep studying tape of our IDL, when they are just THAT bad. Remember you also have been watching Pocic, and were moderately positive. Did see a play against the Bolts were a defender flew by him down the middle, resulting in a big loss. Have you come across that play perhaps?

Throw to Schwartz in crunch time? FFS!

He was having such a good game until that pass

You got to be kidding me!

JB got more than one yard on his sneaks several times. Seems a higher EV play than what he called.

Why no sneak?!?

Nice flop JB

JB's main flaw: not seeing wide open guys. DPJ was that play

And Alex Wright ain't much better...

Love the physicality of Emerson. He really doesn't want his guy to score

Bolts clearly taking a page out of Stefanski's 4th down playbook. Now let's run the damn ball again!

Chubb is still good at football though

Same here. Hope they prove us wrong

I have no issue with Brisset at all. In fact, I've grown quite fond of him over the first games, as he brings exactly what is needed in the current situation. Would seriously consider signing him long-term as a back-up. What I am disputing is your "CONTEXT" that now is not the time to make coaching changes, because "we are still competitive." It is the polar opposite. We lost to the damn Jets, and even Faker and his lowly Pussycats gave us a run for our money. We are about to face much better teams and QBs, which are likely to ravage us. By the time our off-season 'All-in' plays out and DW gets to start, we will have a losing record. The chances of getting out of the Division are already slim to none. Bottom line: this season is lost, whatever we do. Might as well 'invest' in a complete coaching overhaul.

@tiamat63 re: your comment about Perrion Winfrey in the game thread. Did notice a nice TFL against the run where their line had all sorts of trouble containing him. Somewhat surprised he played only 16 snaps (29%), as he seems to bring to the table exactly what we need in the interior.

I was one of those believers, and while I've come down to earth, I still think the team is pretty stacked. Just some glaring weaknesses, as you pointed out. Second half of last season, the D really seemed to come together. Combine that to the best O-line and running back combo in football. Our most glaring weakness on the field seemed to be QB, which we addressed in the off-season. We just have to do without him for 11 games. The only thing we didn't address the IDL, and depth across the D-line. That's now coming back to bite us in the ass. With the exception of that D-line though, it is undeniable the team has plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. What has really let us down so far this season IMO, is the coaching. The defense has regressed massively from last year, and Stef is still calling plays that cost us drives and scores. That's what many of us on the board have been calling out, and are getting increasingly fed up with.

While your point about a new coach is undeniable, what happens if we do not make changes in the coaching staff? We have lost against friggin' Flacco and the damn Jets, and now the Falcons ran all over us. Teams with a decent QB are going to pick us apart. Teams with a decent run will go for 200+ if not 300. And coach 'Fancy' will be sure to call plays that kill drives, or prevent certain scores. By the time DW can play, we will have a losing record. Even if he starts firing on all cylinders immediately (doubtful), we'd be lucky to get back to even. And you can forget about the playoffs. That makes it a lost season anyway, with our best players in their prime. Time to start considering a rebuild, while those players have value. That build starts with a completely new coaching staff: HC, DC, and STC. I have to agree with @nickers for once. None of them seem salvageable!

Chunt!
