I just hate Adam Gases offense, if I’m being honest. SHOTGUN AT THE ONE INCH LINE IN OT??

I don't hate that call, the Dolphins shouldn't be inviting defenses to line up in goal line packages or even their base defense in short yardage. NFL orthodoxy where you go and ask the defense to create 10 gaps or whatever and just wad a whole bunch of bodies up in the middle at the goal line is dumb.

I'll say no, only because he wouldn't have been accurate enough to be intercepted on 12% of his pass attempts.

Peterman's career numbers are worse then just hucking the ball into the dirt on every single snap, so I think we can say the Hack would be better

I go back and forth on this, and I’ll even ask - is it crazy that I feel like adding extra yards to a goal line situation is *asking* for that type of risk?

That was a super, duper fluke of a fumble. He wasn't even touched.

Putting that aside, spreading out a defense on the goal line has its benefits. Even a bad defense can put enough beef on the line to have a chance of making some kind of a goal line stand. Spacing out a defense can give you more options and teams are taking advantage.

I remember a Pats/Dolphins game a few years ago where they spread it out a few yards out from the goal line with an empty backfield and Tannehill just waltz righted in.

I don't think this is Jets fans. This is media needing 10 articles per game week and Cousins spurning the Jets while playing the Jets is a ready made headline.

Jets fans, sane ones anyways, not like Real hurthling!, are perfectly happy with Darnold.

Frank Clark is good but it's not like the rest of Seattle's d-line is elite.

On the flip side, Seattle's offensive line has looked fine the past 2-3 games, and even Ifedi isn't sucking. Must just be a coincidence!

Since 1990 there's been 128 teams that have gone 3 road games in a row, only 9 have gone 3-0. Rams play the 49ers to hopefully become the 10th and they flexed the game out!

Mariota had 5 dropbacks in Ravens territory on sunday and every one of them was a sack.

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2018/week-6-quick-reads

Brock is also #1 in DYAR for the week:

quote:

Our top two quarterbacks this week had radically different opponent adjustments. Brock Osweiler gained 41 DYAR due to playing the Bears, the biggest boost of any quarterback this week. Matt Ryan lost 58 DYAR for playing the Buccaneers, more than twice as much as any other quarterback. Osweiler got a lot of help from his receivers; 268 of his 380 passing yards came after the catch. That's the most YAC for any quarterback in a game this season. He averaged 9.57 YAC per completion, second-most this year behind Jimmy Garoppolo's 9.60 against the Vikings in Week 1.

and

quote:

#31 Deshaun Watson
In five plays wrapped around halftime, Watson had this sequence: sack-fumble, interception, incompletion, interception, sack. He had two more sack-fumbles in the second half. On third downs, he went 4-of-9 for 49 yards with one conversion, two interceptions, two sacks, and a fumble.

Actually turns out I was thinking of a different Wanderers football club which I mistook for Wolverhampton because of the shared name.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderers_F.C.
So named because they didn't have a home stadium and just played at various venues around London. This ancient history brought to you by my dearly departed ancient dad.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Yahoo Sports: As Raiders sink, a brilliant website has emerged counting down Jon Gruden's tenure.
https://sports.yahoo.com/raiders-sink-brilliant-website-emerged-counting-jon-grudens-tenure-213935335.html

The Jon Gruden honeymoon may not be over yet following the Oakland Raiders’ 1-5 start, but it’s safe to say some fans have put the marriage on the clock.

Literally.

An anonymous internet soul or group has rocketed into the ranks of some historically savage NFL fans, creating a simple – but remarkably ruthless – countdown clock of Gruden’s remaining 10-year deal with the Raiders. Registered and created on Oct. 10 (which was before Sunday’s meltdown against the Seattle Seahawks) the tick-tocking platform is a straightforward page with a blunt domain name: isgrudengoneyet.com.

Jon Gruden has a lot of work to do in overcoming a 1-5 start with the Raiders. (AP)

It features only four bits of information:

1. A title: “Is Gruden gone yet?”

2. A giant, capitalized answer: “NO”

3. A clock that is mercilessly timing out, counting down what is presumed to be the number of years, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds (!) of Gruden’s contract in Oakland.

4. And for good measure, it includes a salary tracker that calculates: the amount of money Gruden has theoretically banked from the Raiders; the amount of money he’s still theoretically owed; and the amount of money he has theoretically earned in the precise amount of time a visitor has been on the web page.

As fan trolling goes, it gets high marks for simplistic entertainment value. It’s not the age-old taunt of showing up to games wearing a grocery bag on your head. Nor is it the brutally invasive approach of flying a banner over a stadium or paying for freeway signage near the team’s headquarters. But in the digital age, it’s effective because it provides the few pieces of information that were destined to follow Gruden the rest of his coaching life – whether he succeeded or failed in Oakland.

That crazy length of his contract (which he has sort of denied). That jaw-dropping $100 million salary figure (which he has also sort of denied). And the one question that will either define his failure, or serve as an opportunity for him to fire back at critics through some smirking success:

Is Jon Gruden gone yet? Nope. He’s here for the long-haul.

But so are those who will be watching his every move and calculating the exact price the Raiders have paid, right down to the pennies spent and seconds invested.
