What i want to see Thursday

[renofox]

1. Players who look like they give a .
2. Less than 6 badly missed tackles.
3. Opponent completion rate below 80%.
4. Run/Pass at least 30/70.
5. Keep the final score within 20 pts.
6. Offense scores more than 10 pts thru 3 qtrs.

Am I asking for too much?

 

[Chapow]

1. At least bother trying to establish a running game. Stick with it even if it isn't particularly effective in the first half.

2. Somebody make a god-damned tackle on defense.

That's it.

 

[James in PA]

No fumbles, drops, or penalties for DK.

 

[renofox]

No fumbles, drops, or penalties for DK.

That may be asking too much.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

DK's fumbles were bad the last 2 weeks. But maybe you need to call out several other players too. Every player on that damn team, and every coach, should be embarrassed after that debacle. Including the almighty, often above criticism Geno Smith.

 

[AROS]

This one was on everybody. An equal opportunity finger point session.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

all of the fingers, each and every one of them

I've got 2 specific fingers that were very active Sunday.

 

[hox]

They need to play with their hair on fire like we've seen from them week 1. Not the low-energy effort we saw yesterday.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No lies detected.

 

[Hawknight]

I just want them to play like every game is a playoff to the big dance....show some life out there!

this. 4 quarters of pissed off football.

Both sides were bad...MM should add to his playbook an AED Defibrillator

 

[AROS]

It's obvious they didn't see the 1-3 Giants coming into town without their star rookie WR and RB as any real threat. I sure as heck know I didn't, nor many of us. They thought they could go through the motions while focusing on the big national game in 4 days against their divisional rival.

That is a sure-fire way to get beat in this league. We made a below average Giants team look like an elite squad because of that paradigm.

 

[toffee]

What I want to see? Simple, a WIN. I would like it that we dominate the game, but will settle for a nail biter

Further more, I would like to see evidence that our young Macdonald hasn't lost the locker room after 1/3 of his rookie season. Any our rookie OC can coach pro-ball.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

There is ZERO chance he has "lost the locker room" after 5 games. Come on man, even for you that's a stretch

 

[RiverDog]

How about an interception? I mean, our guys making one, not throwing one. I can't remember the last time we got a pick.

I said the same thing yesterday in the game day chat. It's been forever since I've seen an interception from this team, or at least it seems that way.

We have 2 interceptions this season, both in Week 1 against Bo Nix in his rookie outing. We have just 4 takeaways all season.

 

[ZagHawk]

I want to see a team making improvements in all it's weakness areas. Even if it's not enough improvement to win. Improvement is what i'm looking for.


1 - More consistent pressure on opposing QB
2 - Stop the run
3 - Takeaways
4 - Better executed aggression (4th down, 2 Pt attempts, etc.)
5 - DK Ball Security
6 - Higher run percentage
7 - Offense being more effective earlier
8 - Special teams clean up, not blocking the gap for the FG block was one, but before this game. Punt returners having a field day last few games too.
