The two INTs yesterday both were catchable balls thrown to receivers that bounced up and were picked, though the Pettis throw was a hard catch to make. I'm not sure how good he is or isn't...some of his metrics are outstanding (adjusted net yards per attempt, 7.11, yards per attempt 8.6 with the 49ers), and then there's the curiously high INT rate. Yes he's an enigma right now. If he can eliminate the needless INTs we have seen then he can be very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Apparently winning a game is much easier if WR's actually catch the ball? Go figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a trio of WRs have so many critical drops that hit them right in the hands. That doesn't include Goedert who also had a wide open drop in the end zone. I can only imagine how frustrated Wentz and Pederson are. Who puts on the belt on this current team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24isthelaw Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 If any of you football nerds haven't watched the Patriots defense yet, you have to. They're ~18 players deep with guys who fill roles in a hybrid 3-4 defense. The communication level is insanely high, they all tackle well, and most of them punch above their weight at the point of attack. The trend around the league in recent years has been to get simpler to play faster, and get younger. Meanwhile the Pats have Devin McCourty in his 10th season on the team. Chung in his 10th. Hightower in his 8th. Duron Harmon in his 7th. Jason McCourty is literally Devin’s twin. Jamie Collins has been in the system in the past... there's a huge amount of system experience and it's manifesting itself as a level of team chemistry you don't really see nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fairly confident that they are 1A and 1B however. Between these two teams they have played. Panthers w/ bum Cam Brees'less Saints Browns Steelers Dolphins Jets These teams have combined to go 4-14 so far. People dont want to give the Packers their due, due to our opponents, but were crowning these two already? K.

Doesn't look like they'll be tested against a quality passer until after their week 10 BYE. Will be interesting.

They might actually have a 5-3 or 6-2 record by the time Brees comes back. They are in good hands with Teddy "Allstate" Bridgewater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
