757-NINER Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 8 hours ago, JIllg said: I do think that it’s funny that the Shanahan offense proliferation happened at the same time that everyone wanted the next Josh Allen or Patty Mahomes or Lamar Jackson. And for good reason - those guys are awesome and can stretch defenses past their breaking points on their own. You can build whole offenses out of their abilities. But the point of these Shanahan offenses is to do more with less physically. They allow you to take guys that point and click (especially over the middle of the field) and make them super efficient. So there’s a bunch of teams now with Last Action Hero quarterbacks that don’t really do the point and click as well (including our own young quarterback) who really haven’t jived with the systems that they’ve ended up in. Now, some teams figured it out. The Bears finally understood that Justin Fields is more Lamar Jackson than Matt Ryan and restructured their offense around him. I also think that right as the desire for those big armed extra physically gifted guys got to their highest after those guys shredded existing schemes with off schedule plays and deep shots, defenses adjusted to clamp down super hard on downfield passing with all of the Fangio classics - Palms, quarters, cover 6. Even a lot of old school Tampa 2. You can still get a couple shots downfield, but it requires more patience than Mahomes shredding all of the Seattle cover three clones in 2018. And now all of these physically gifted deep ball guys are having to operate a lot like Jimmy G most of the time. The rookies and sophomores have had a miserable time of it. A lot like they did in the past when there was a lot of 2 high safety stuff in the NFL. Patience takes some time and experience. Well said...

49ersfan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Giants upcoming schedule - Commanders, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings, Colts, Eagles Currently 7-4, they could possibly get caught by the surging Commanders and miss the playoffs entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles may not have anything to play for in week 18 and they can split with the Commanders and may be able to beat the Colts. I think they still have a very good shot at making the playoffs. Wish the Pats could have beaten the Vikings last night as that would have put us in decent position to get the #2 seed. The #2 seed as presently constructed has a better route to the NFCCG than the #1 seed does, believe it or not lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFC is better than people thought it was going to be going into the year. AFC 80-81 NFC 86-85 I think I mathed right, but the two conferences are pretty equal by most metrics. The 7th cede in the AFC is also 6-4. Edited November 25, 2022 by Steve_DeBerg_Fan_420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot could depend on week 18 though. They may get backups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
