NFL GDT: Week 16

[Gene Parmesan]

Yup. They have 3 good runningbacks. Foles threw 38 times, they ran 21 times. Cant be doing that. He is an Andy Reid disciple so it wont change. They should be pounding the rock.

Yeah its weird.

 

[GKJ]

Very little done by the Eagles to get their money players involved. Jeffrey only got 2 targets. After Ajayi scored it looked like the eagles would roll. Credit to the Raiders I thought they fought pretty hard. They had to fly cross-country on Christmas and play in the cold. And it was windy, which makes it really cold. Could’ve very easily been more concerned with staying warm and getting the hell home.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Part of me believes they leaned on the pass so hard to get as many reps to Foles as they could, since obviously beating the craptacular Giants means nothing in about 2 weeks.

They're going to be in really tough without Wentz given what the NFC looks like. All potential matchups they could get in the divisional round could very well turn into shootouts (Rams/Falcons/Saints) with the loan exception being a midly offensive challenged Panthers team. Not a good look for an offense in flux.

He's seeing ghosts and needs an absolutely clean pocket to operate. That's not good going forward.

That's what I saw in Fresno and why I didn't think he'd become the guy he was last year.

 

[Shockmaster]

I just woke up. Did Al Riveron overturn any results from yesterday?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That's what I saw in Fresno and why I didn't think he'd become the guy he was last year.

He wasn't nearly as bad at Fresno in regards to pressure as he's been this year. I don't know if getting hurt has made him so gunshy that he can't function without a wall in front of him. I know the passing schematics are high school level in concept and design and his receivers are having bad years but all his bad habits have surfaced this year down the stretch.

This was before they only put up 22 on the Bucs, but they've also scored an average of 21.6 points versus the current NFC playoff teams this year. The way their secondary is playing, they might accidentally find themselves in a playoff shooutout.

 

[GKJ]

That’s why Gene and I said that it was addition by subtraction. They made it to a Super Bowl with him having been hurt. But they will definitely have to address the position again early in the draft.

Raiders and Cowboys had the best OL's in 2016, yet somehow they have both struggled this season. Passing scheme is focussed on so many short routes. Raiders have the WR to push the ball down the field. Change is OC has really impacted the Raider's offence this season. Much like ATL with the loss of Shanahan.

With 9 losses, wonder if Del Rio survives.

Eh, I think they can get by with a healthy Byrd and Samuel as the 2 and 3 guys behind Funchess next year, plus McCaffrey and Olsen. They desperately need help at safety and probably CB.

Way too miss the point. Carr's struggles aren't on the O-line. He is feeling non-existant pressure. Dak has been due to his god awful receivers and his decision making.

Okay, why was the Eagles forces for a PAT (or a 2-point conversion) after getting a touchdown on the final play of the game? I'm confused.

That's the rule in the NFL.
