Maybe we continue making plays…but it’s not a bad strategy by them to go for broke and take big chances. Pass Interference these guys are pro at faking.

I love how you look for all the ways we can lose, but everyone else on here is negative 😆

Just feels like a total cowboys fan thing…every other year they start out blockbuster…then fade. AR got me expecting growth throughout the year. He didn’t go all out to have everything ready to go week one. He let his team kind of tell him by how they played who they were. He then adapted everything to that.  AR’s O was very complic

Complicated. AR had most everything a read. WR, Oline, QB and RB all did certain things depending on the D

But everybody gotta be on the same page.

Everybody run those plays before. But how you adapt according to the defenders was massive. Still think that Walsh way is the best way. A very complex system can be taught. That was what I think was really Walsh gift. Just a method of coaching. 

Things have changed so much now. These guys deep film study more than the coaches probably did back then. But I would think it only adds to the Walsh method. His brilliance was teaching the very tough job of coaching to guys that weren’t near that level of football knowledge.

Everyone here does obviously understand that our Strength of Schedule goes down with each win we inflict.

Depends on who we beat

Back in those days of tons of repetition. Tons of contact and field learning. But he already had figured out ways to explain without being on the field. A consistent method…that I really think is the way learning in this league happens now. He was really ground breaking. Classroom and film study along with being in your playbook is all you need it done right in the pros now.

Think you just get these guys out there in drills with position coach. Doing their technique. Don’t really need much from other players physically to learn as much. They learn by running into these guys to start their careers. But by the time you hit the pros you’d think these guys been playing ten years.

All out blitzes from the D. There whole franchise covered in cloud. Nobody paying any attention to their team. But they have talent. Tons of high picks. They know us fairly well. So going to be crazy. Not only they going to push the limits on low percentage distance and downs….just throw the fifty fifty ball deep quick…probably what they’ll just go with.

Why would they do this? That's a moronic strategy to use vs the best pick defense in the league unless you are game planning to lose. But frankly they are doing bad enough without TRYING. Their new "star" RB is playing now,they got Gibson back(neither was present the first time). They also got their best TE back in Logan Thomas. McLaurin is as good as our WR's. SO we can't take them too lightly,this is a different team than we saw the first time. Wentz was the 'gunner" Heineke is not as flashy,but IMO he is more consistent,so I expect them to play like we do,using the dink and dunk. They have the players to do it. Our D is much better and will be the deciding factor. Like most games, we need to get to the QB as early as possible. I think you will see many similar calls to what we do(if they want to try and win). They will attempt to shut down our running game and like before,when they try that we need to hit Goedert. We simply have too many weapons,but Siri needs to adjust,which lately he has been much better at. Once again I see more short stuff to the playmakers and let them get their YAC"s as we have done all year. Make then adjust to us,not the other way around. We also won't have Davis and the difference in opponents running game is obvious without him(were we this bad before him????). I expect big doses of both their RB's because we get gashed without Davis in. We gave up 138 rushing yards to Houston and actually Gibson is more versatile than he was(in the passing game). The new kid can pound, although he has more learning to do and we should see a shot or 3 downfield for McLaurin just like we may take a few shots,but I don't see what you see. I believe they will try(and fail) to do what we do. We're just better at it

AFCE looks really competitive now. We will see if the Bills can hold out atop the division without Allen. Jets playing good ball now. It's been a long time coming for them. Miami is on fire also.I believe the Fins are fully capable of winning the AFC. Fins/Eagles SB would be a great game!!!!

FL your whole statement is why your strategy stinks for them. 

They on the downside facing a very superior team. So to beat a better team you either need them to overlook and the better team be off their game. Or need some lucky bounces. But really your strategy as you said is dumb for them. They can’t play conservative. They can’t just dink and dunk. Don’t even think Heinke that accurate. He’s really not a bad QB. But you gotta think about their coach. Riverboat Ron. Snyder going to have to sell. They basically seemed forced to hire Rivera….in the first place. 

So everything about to change in Washington. New owner. New stadium. Gotta think new GM. A total clearing house like no other. I’d be shocked if they even stick with that crap name

I’m 75 recent sure the name goes down with Snyder

Everybody out that works there

They’ve been wanting Snyder’s dumb ass out fir a long time. Spent insane money on that stadium. That area has endless money too. Maryland and Northern Virginia around the capital those people are unbelievably wealthy. Arguably one of the wealthiest spot.

Tons of big tech jobs there. Politicians. Lobbyists. High paying jobs all around there.

That’s why I could never relate to that team tough. Not much of real fans at games. Business corporate tickets. Politician tickets. Lobbyists eat up all kinds of the best seats. Do they never hurt for selling tickets at whatever price. Heck many there probably on somebody else’s dime for food, program and beers and such also. Expensive area to begin with.

All that to say: that team is a gold mine. Probably can have about the most expensive of everything. They’ll pay it. You barely see the blue collar…or those type fans there. White collar can be great fans too. But I’m just saying corporate and politics buy up all those seats. Pass them along. Plenty of the time to non Skin fans.

Basically out of townersget free tickets from all those work perks.

Every team has a big corporate presence. But they more have workers that live there. DC just brings in everybody. One of the few places that are cheaper on the weekend to stay at hotels and such. Almost everywhere else….Saturday night super jacked up price. But there I’ve stayed in the Ritz Carlton on the weekend for a third of the price. Pretty unusual.

Will say people in Northern Virginia can drink there butts off. They work so hard to try and live there. Seems like most are hard core drunks. Don’t want to totally label. But my experience there. That’s what I’ve liked about it though. Not a town I’d want to live at all. But dining, shopping, history, and bars….bars. Everybody gets DUI in a heart beat there if you even think of screwing up. Never seen more police just out to harass. First place I realized what a money racket it all is. They can afford to hire more police officers so long as they write tickets. They just harrasing and pull you….especially if it’s bar time. They have this whole logic of where over 60 percent of people pulled will be guilty of another infraction. Don’t think they reall stop crime up there. Just tons of them to make money.

Huge parkways that hit huge lights.

Hurts is actually tied for first on yards per attempt

Us and Phins at 8.6

Then it drops down considerably

We’ve taken more sacks than I realized. I noticed Hurts abandon ship and make great effort to just chuck it away. But he’s actually taking a bunch of pressure in the pocket. Supposedly the best Oline. So kind of weird numbers.

Not like we have been in desperation mode….having to drop back and pass to come back down a bunch.

4 , 3 and then 4 again this last game. I know his numbers were fantastic against the blitz early on. But a bit worrisome to be going backwards here. Obviously Mailata got owned back to back. Sanders hasn’t been doing well in pass pro either. Fourth year….he needs to get it now. Can’t have him on key downs or in hurry up if he keeps blowing his assignment. He’s looking very tough and running physical this year. Really doing what you want from a RB. He isn’t dancing around taking big losses. He’s going forward and being patient at times. 

Only caught 11 passes this year. I know Hurts least favorite thing is to check down. But man that’s low for how much he out there. I’d say that’s one thing Hurts could still grow doing. He’s starting to look off defenders also. Haven’t noticed that until last couple games.
