The NFL has been more boring than usual this season, but I am absolutely down with the return of the crusty sportswriters lecturing Dallas Cowboys.  quote:It’s one thing to be frustrated. It’s another thing to quit. Elliott is a good football player who quit on a play. Don’t sugarcoat it. He quit on a play in the middle of a game that was still a game. And he should not be allowed to get away with it.

It's not ideal, and Elliott def looked shameful as gently caress on that INT, but I *may* be OK with star QBs/RBs/WRs not chasing down DBs for the tackle. Seems like a real high chance of injury

Some guys can't turn it off, some guys don't give a gently caress.

I can excuse a dude for not chasing after someone after an interception down 18 with less than 2 minutes left in the game. To win at that point they needed to score on that play, get 2 points, get an onside, score in 2-3 plays, kick the PAT or go for two if you missed the first (and play for OT) and then get another onside and get into field goal range in 1-2 plays all with no timeouts. The game was over.

Yeah. I say "may" because circumstances matter a lot on that too. Not going all out in the playoffs is different from not going all out in a blowout loss during the regular season I dunno. I'm on the fence. There are times when I want guys chasing down the returner, and times when the risk isn't worth it. Like I don't really want to see Dak trying to tackle a linebacker unless the season is on the line

I don't think Zeke is able to chase down Talib anyways. He's running the wrong way with a full head of steam, and it's not like Aqib Talib is known for being slow.

The Chargers and Dolphins totally hosed up the sequence at the end of the game. Rivers got the ball to the Miami 35, and then took a timeout, with 19 seconds left in the game. Then, they had Rivers run a play to recenter the ball. With the clock ticking the Chargers moved with zero urgency to get the kicking unit into the field. As the clock ticked down to 10 it looked like they would be probably boned... and then Miami took a timeout! Why??? Of course then they missed the kick anyway.

Kalli posted:Chir, or somebody was talking about how mismatched the Cowboys' secondary was yesterday Yeah, it was pretty dire. Scandrick and Hitchens were both inactive coming into the game, then injuries to Awuzie and Carroll left the team with only two healthy cornerbacks on the roster, Anthony Brown and rookie Jourdan Lewis. Benwikere is also on the roster, but wasn't active because the Cowboys chose to bring an extra receiver (Terrell WIlliams had an ankle injury last week, so they wanted a back-up there). This was a dumb move, even without the benefit of hindsight. The Cowboys moved Xavier Woods from Safety into the nickel corner spot and collectively the unit spent all game missing tackles and being out of position. The unit may be OK at full health, but the Cowboys have almost no depth on defense this year.

Mike Tanier posted:Tom Brady threw for 447 yards and three touchdowns, despite the fact that many of his passes had a trajectory and velocity somewhere between a softball slow pitch and a baby hook shot from the high post. That pillowy soft thing he just sort of wafted up into the stratosphere to draw the 12 men on the field penalty was legitimately hilarious, but otherwise this seems like a really odd time for Mike to bust the BRADY IS OLD FOR REAL THIS TIME!!111! Hot Take.
