Rod Johnson Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 11 minutes ago, buno67 said: God that was such a disappointment. after that TE caught that amazing TD, I knew the game was over. When we got that 1st and 20 because of that holding call, I told my wife, “watch, they will get a 22yards pass here”. I was wrong, they got 24. I know the defense only held them to 15pts but my god Woods defense was killing me. I kinda feel like the Stefanski is figured out. He needs to start adding wrinkles to the scheme cause good defenses are stifling him. Should have been a given when he has these go to 4th down plays that every DC seems to be sitting on. What I don't get is when what we are doing stops working for a drive or 2 it seems like we change our offense entirely. Watching Baker try to run shotgun spread offense is unbearable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to say OBJ and Jarvis have some pretty large hands. OBJ is 10in and Jarvis 10 1/4in. For comparison, DK’s is 9 7/8s. Mike Evan’s was 9 5/8s. Calvin Johnson’s was 9 1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE on the Steelers made a play and that won the game. that was my take away as well. we have WR's and TE's, we don't have any play makers. we had many opportunities in this game and instead of a big play, we got dropped passes, penalties, and a fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know you want Baker to fail, but try harder. Want him to fail? You apologists are mentally impaired. I would like nothing more than him to succeed. How do you reach these irrational conclusions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you reach these irrational conclusions? I reach my rational conclusions based on your posting history. Some people want certain players to fail just to say they were right about them, despite the fact that it would hurt their team. There's legit criticisms you could make about Baker, but yours are often just wrong or hyperbolic. Just like how you said it was Baker's fault for those drops today, despite that 100% not being the case. Yet you won't ever concede that you're wrong.

Yeah you almost could forgive/forget the fact none of our skill players did anything exceptional all game if they didn't also completely blow it multiple times. Baker was the only person on offense who played like he wanted to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it be nice to get bigger WRs but it’s not the reason we lost Candy has a thing against Baker’s height. But the truth is taller receivers can help any qb. Makes sense, taller receiver can out height shorter dbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree. I’m thinking of 2 passes that I originally was pissed at that Baker threw. But when I saw the replay he actually made the proper throw. With a proper touch. Why? Because the stillers defender raised his hands when he threw. But each time if the receiver could have actually caught a slightly off (because of a qb adjustment) throw it would have resulted in a nice gain. Unfortunately this is deeper than we realize. And I can’t figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
