Delivering Smiles
Hello.
- It fucking feels good to win. Period.
- Our defense allowed 278 net yards. We had five sacks, created five turnovers, and scored a safety. That's pretty good stuff. We allowed four "explosive" plays (plays of 20+ yards), which is not amazing, but certainly much better than we've been doing. And even though Rivers seemed on a mission to channel his inner Rex Grossman, I can't say that I blame him for throwing up so many deep balls against these corners. Bradberry allowed the touchdown and Worley got embarrassed on the free play jumpball, but otherwise the results were better than I could have hoped for.
- Watching Turner trying to play offensive tackle is pretty painful, as it should be. He's a guard - and a very good one - but holy shit that's ugly to look at.
- How about Palardy?! Damn, son. That might be Dave's best ever draft pick/UDFA. Gettleman certainly knows how to find punters, gotta give him that much.
- Special teams penalties are inexcusable. There's no reason to commit holding or block in the back. That just comes down to scrubs trying to make an impression.
- The Cam pick 6 that was one of the few plays that I didn't actually see until five minutes ago. I don't get the outrage towards Kelvin on that one. He clearly knew that he touched the guy down. What bothers me the most about that play was that it was an absolutely horrible pass by the reigning MVP, who seems on a mission to bring his completion percentage to sub-Tebow territory. His line sucks, his receivers suck, and his coordinator sucks, but 37% percent passing against one of the league's worst pass defenses is absolutely unfathomable. He's playing like fucking crap lately.
- With that said, Kelvin certainly had another terrible game in his own right. I still don't get the vitriol, though. This is what he was in 2014. People's expectations for him were ridiculous. He's a useful player in spurts, but we obviously still have a ton of work to do at wide receiver despite investing two high draft picks there. Funchess looks semi-useful in the redzone, but that's about it. Ginn is 33, and Brown is pretty much back to being the undrafted scrub that he always was. Let's get some good receivers, please.
- You're not going to the playoffs this year. Deal with it. Three out of the last four is still awesome. Let's make it four out of five next year.
- Pay Short. No excuses. Pay him, you fuck.
- I think Rosen and Brady Quinn successfully called half of Shula's plays today. I swear to God, it's the same shit we've run for years. No variation. No new wrinkles. Brutal. This passing game has to be totally rebuilt. This shit just isn't going to fucking cut it.
- We started the game with Soliali playing defensive end. Weird. I guess we didn't want to get fucked up the ass by the run again.
- Larson kind of doesn't suck. Overall, I'm happy Cam isn't getting absolutely murdered behind this group, so far. I didn't realize until this morning that the line didn't allow a sack in Seattle last week.
- I'm eating some donuts tomorrow - and I'm enjoying them. All 12 of them. You can kiss my fucking ass. I have three division title hats, I can do whatever the fuck I want.
