Calling islstl! Are we really done?

Who cares if he doesn't get the message? The stats, if nothing else, clearly bears out the fact that our Red Zone D sucks. If someone wants to be blind to that reality, let 'em. No skin off my back.

 

Don't worry TF90. I understand WHAT happened.

I'm wondering WHY it happened. Do you have an answer to the why the D started going the wrong way? Just curious, not blind.

 

Rest assured, I wasn't shooting for you. I meant my comment in a general sense. no point cruising the boards with the same point to just convince one poster on here of this or that.

I don't have an answer. All I know is that at this point of the season, we can't stop the run or the pass. We are swiss cheese out there. And without some kind of turnaround, I suspect we are toast. Arky rolled up over 500 yards of total offense on us, most of that in regulation. Painful.

 

I'm trying very hard to remain positive and put the best possible spin on the Tigers's season.

But.....when the announcers are seeing the tendencies from the booth and know what play is called 95% of the time - and you know what we think of these guys - how easy do you think it is for a coach or player who has watched hundreds of hours of film to know what's coming? Seriously now, those CBS dudes almost looked omniscient : "Hester at fullback. It's gonna be a pass to him." "That's the Quarterback Draw formation again...". These morons were right nearly every time. Scary.

Predictable? sure seems that way. What ever happened to that guy they called "The Wizard"? :insane:

 

Good observation. Sad, but true.

In addition to the examples you pointed out, when the Hog back that scored a couple of TDs lined up wide they threw it to him.

 

every team has tendencies. just b/c danielson noticed a few doesnt mean we are overly predictable. you play to your strengths.


i can tell you tomorrow brady will try to complete a fade to moss 10 times yet that doesnt mean you can stop it. its all about execution. we knew mcfadden was gonna run every other carry and also pass the ball the last couple of years yet there was not much we could do about it.

mismatches are a part of sports.
