    Buffalo up 17-0?

    Upsets happening every week doesn't lend credence to your narrative, it just shows how small the talent gap is between the best and the worst teams.

    New roughing the passer rule worse than helmet rule?

    Uhm.... what? Actually, yes, a 15-yard penalty that leads to an automatic first down and has an impact on the game is a huge deterrent. Imagine it's the Super Bowl and your "personal fouls aren't called until after the game" change is implemented. There would be massive cheap shots after every...

    Russell Wilson the human pinata

    Agreed, it was a very insightful video. Definitely went into a lot of the finer nuances of football. I especially loved his breakdown of Von Miller's sack; the level of detail -- like breaking down what Miller did with left hand, and then what he did with his right hand -- was incredible. A...

    Browns v. Jets

    It's almost as if coaches use lip service and politically correct answers when communicating with the media.

    Can we beat the Cowboys?

    I think we will win. Dak is very limited, and Wagner will be back to help hone in on Zeke.

    Hawks Called Timeout to Prevent Wilson......

    Our quarterback threw a pick 6. The entire play (~2.5 seconds) he started down the receiver. Somehow, the interception is not his fault, and instead we're scapegoating coaches because they "disrupted Wilson's rhythm". How many times did we hear during his first few years how cool, poised, and...

    Anyone Else notice Russ Limping a bit??

    Straight line speed is not the same thing as quickness and agility. Colin Kaepernick was an absolute gazelle when he got into the open field and started taking those long strides (think about the NFCCG in 2013 when he broke off that 50/60 yard run), but he never had agility or quickness in the...

    Anyone Else notice Russ Limping a bit??

    This is the second time I've heard someone bring up Usain Bolt in this context. It is an absolutely terrible comparison. First of all, track stars specialize in basically one skill (being fast). All of their conditioning and training is focused on that. Football players train for a hell of a lot...

    [RUMOR] Heaps: Britt out an "extended period"

    Agreed, it's just gamesmanship.

    Wilson hasn't progressed as I had anticipated

    Yes, this is the correct answer, not the "Wilson is freed from the shackles of his OC during the 2 minute drill" nonsense. Think of how much time is run off the clock when a team completes a 12-yard-pass over the middle of the field. It takes a lot of time for the next play to happen -- the...

    Can we beat the Cowboys?

    I think we will beat the Cowboys. They aren't very good. Dak is exceedingly mediocre.

    Wilson is not Brady or Rodgers

    I am the one with an "agenda", says the guy who responds with 7 paragraphs worth of mindless drivel and mental gymnastics about how my comparisons "don't count". Even better, you respond with completely hollow commentary like "the film shows that Bevell and Schotty are failures". That's the...

    Bevell not to blame?

    Here's my issue: if Bevell was such a terrible offensive coordinator, how did Wilson have such an illustrious beginning to his career (101.8 passer rating over his first four years)? Let's hypothetically accept that Bevell was "terrible" (just for the sake of argument). What would Wilson's...

    Bevell not to blame?

    When a team is up big (like 24-10) or when their isn't much time left on the clock (2-minute drill), defenses start conceding yardage to help milk the clock. A defense will gladly concede a 15-yard completion over the middle if it means eating up 25 seconds of clock time. There is a reason the...

    Wilson is not Brady or Rodgers

    Coaching is not everything. What coaching is is a convenient scapegoat to deflect blame from players. Players need to execute. If they don't execute, nothing else matters. You're just cherry-picking examples. I can do that too. Everyone here hates Darrel Bevell. He is universally regarded as...

    Elite

    This is absolute nonsense. Brees is similar in stature to Wilson and he's been regarded as elite for over a decade. People don't care about Wilson's height, they care about the painful-obvious limitations his height causes and his poor fundamentals.

    Elite

    If you can count "almost" wins, do you also count "almost" losses? What if Cooper Kupp doesn't drop the game-winning touchdown pass that hit him in the hands in the first Rams game? Don't play the hypothetical game, it's a slippery slope, and the sword swings both ways.

    FG Fanpost: Russell Wilson's Six Sacks

    Virtually all scrambling quarterbacks take a lot of sacks. Part of the reason I think it's hard to evaluate scrambling quarterbacks with traditional stats (e.g. passer rating) is that taking a sack is hugely detrimental, but it isn't attributed to a quarterback in the box score.

    Yesterday's announcers

    I think a lot of fans go into games with a preconceived bias towards announcers. Like, "this guy for sure hates us", or "this guy for sure is rooting for the other team". Then anytime the announcer says anything remotely derogatory or complimentary, it becomes confirmation bias.

    Russ = not ready?

    I was listening to some of the game on the radio, and they mentioned the same thing. They said, "coming into the game, Von Miller told us that Wilson sometimes escapes backwards from the pocket -- lo and behold, on that last sack, Miller was there waiting for Wilson when he tried to escape."
