Figures out the controls, etc. and did see the end of the game. Rebooted cable box on the main TV, working fine now. DAY-AM! That’s ok. You didn’t need to see it. Really.

I thought the Oline would improve just a little bit, I was very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavePityPlease Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Ok, this is just downright baffling. Remember the play in this game where JB tossed it to Higgins after the long scramble, but they called it back and said illegal touching, and it *didn't matter that he was pushed out*? Welp, the *identical* thing just happened in the Seahawks game, and they called it 180 degrees the opposite. Initially called it illegal contact on the defender *and* illegal touching, saying the penalties offset. Then they reversed and said the illegal contact resulted in him going out, so it's actually a good catch. WTF is going on?? Steratore said once a QB vacates the pocket *there is no more illegal contact*, you can actually push receivers down on their ass if you want to (that doesn't seem right to me, why not just immediately start slamming into receivers all over the field whenever a QB rolls out?). The only thing I can possibly imagine is they say the illegal contact happened before Russell Wilson left the pocket, but that's impossible, they'd have to just "decide" they wanted it to go that way.

HavePityPlease Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Just watched the "highlights", man, Billy Price should be cut tomorrow, they can replace him with a running back or safety from the practice squad... to play RG, same diff.

saphead Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Exactly. Nothing that stupid bonehead said about that play made any sense. Thanks God we got the 1st down the next play to negate the refs ineptitude. 17 minutes ago, HavePityPlease said: Ok, this is just downright baffling.

Meaning, 2 years in a row he has to pay the most money for a rookie and especially not for a OLman. If we end up there again, he will trade out of the position for a team to get a QB.

Gary Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Burrow would be untouchable with a decent OL. He has a bunch of idiots that don't block. I am sure they are telling him to lay down a lot just so he doesn't get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibor75 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Positives: Even with the same OL and same crappy defense, Burrow with more experience would have us at 2-1 or 3-0. He looks to be *that* good. Burrow + last year's 2-14 team and we are already better than: Giants Jets Washington team Jaguars (maybe, let's see next week) And maybe the Falcons and Lions Negatives: Burrow will get injured Zak Morris sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example. If you have Bradshaw and Manning switch teams you have Archie in the HOF and Bradshaw even dumber than he is. This team should already be pulling JB aside and telling him they WILL overall the OL by next season. Even if they have to cut Gio, Dunlap, let Green walk , whatever.

Add in all the late hits that were legal back then and it’s a wonder he isn’t eating his food thru a straw. Joe is at 9% which is still really high and isn’t taking as many late hits but Joe isn’t being hit by 250lb Dlineman and 215lb Linebackers either.

He was the best player on the field for New Orleans until he finally broke down. All you have to do is look at Billy Kilmer’s career in Washington AFTER he left New Orleans while waiving his middle finger. He escaped just in time.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I always thought Steve Bartkowski suffered the same fate in Atlanta , but never saw him actually play. I did see Manning on TV a few times and he had some great tools, he was so beat up though by the time he got to Minn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycat Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Can someone explain to me how a veteran like Green on at least two plays I can remember 3rd down and he runs a route short of the first down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he cant get any separation and the DB didnt allow him to get to the top of the route and he had to cut it off. He's not the real AJ.

He's not the real AJ. The burning question is the "not real" AJ a permanent thing for the rest of the year, or is it just temporary as he shakes off the rust? I think AJ's going to see what Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are doing and his competitive instincts will fire up and propel him back to the "real" AJ heights that we all know. I'm expecting a big game from him against the Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
