These powerhouse teams do better late in the season when they suffer a beatdown early in the season. Happens t the Patriots every year they win the Super Bowl. That's why I'm excited that the Patriots have no real competition to speak of in their first 7 games and no real competition in their last three games.

My translation of the comment was this: I watched the game on and off - not straight through. INDY was able to put considerable pressure on Mahomes (primarily) with their four man rush backed up with man coverage in the back. I heard some analyst say they doubled Kelce - manned up against the others. We can do that. If we're healthy - we've got the players to do that. Now - I think Hill got injured? And Watson? For all or some part of the game? Not sure on that but their health would obviously affect our D scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Bleacher Report: NFL Team's Biggest Early-Season Disappointment Chicago Bears: The Passing Offense Last year, the Chicago Bears hired an offensive head coach in Matt Nagy. He was supposed to bring an innovative offense to Chicago and help unleash the potential of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. While Trubisky showed growth last season, he appears to have taken a step back this year. In fact, the Bears' passing offense as a whole has been a disappointment. Chase Daniel started for an injured Trubisky in Week 5, but the results weren't much different. Daniel threw for 231 yards and two touchdowns, but he also tossed two picks. At least Daniel was able to push the ball down the field, which is something Trubisky has struggled with. The typical starter has averaged just 5.5 yards per pass attempt, and Chicago is averaging only 6.1 yards per pass play as a team. Just two squads have averaged fewer than the 185.4 passing yards per game the Bears have produced. Detroit Lions: Pass Defense Just as it's been surprising to see a toothless Broncos pass rush, it's been a little odd to see the Detroit Lions struggling to defend the pass. Head coach Matt Patricia is a defensive specialist, and the Lions have some standout defensive backs such as Darius Slay, Justin Coleman and Quandre Diggs (though both Slay and Diggs have missed time with hamstring injuries). Yet they've allowed an average of 280.8 passing yards per game, third-most in the NFL. Detroit has played the pass well for stretches, like the bulk of Week 4's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, it has also broken down far too often, like at the end of said Chiefs matchup. If the Lions hope to remain in the thick of the NFC North race, they'll need to tighten things up on the back end of their defense. Green Bay Packers: TE Jimmy Graham Last offseason, the Green Bay Packers signed tight end Jimmy Graham to a hefty three-year, $30 million contract. They got some decent production from him in his first season—55 catches, 636 yards and two touchdowns—but he has often been a non-factor in 2019. Through five weeks, Graham has caught just 12 passes for 132 yards. He does have two touchdowns, but he's also gone without a catch on two different occasions.That is not the sort of production the Packers should be getting out of a tight end making $10 million per year, and Graham's frequent disappearing acts are disheartening. Minnesota Vikings: QB Kirk Cousins The Minnesota Vikings finally got a good game out of quarterback Kirk Cousins in Week 5. He passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns, and the Vikings won in convincing fashion. The problem is that one good game out of five isn't what Minnesota should be getting out of its $84 million quarterback. Cousins has had some downright bad performances, specifically against the rival Packers and Bears. Statistically, Cousins has played at an above-average level. He's completing 68.3 percent of his passes and is averaging over 200 yards per game. However, when the Vikings have needed him to deliver in clutch moments, he's regularly fallen short—a habit that dates back to last year. The Vikings didn't pay Cousins to be a game-manager, but that's largely what he's been since arriving in Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grounds team was cleaning up, putting the pylons and **** in the cart so they can be driven in to the storage cage or wherever they put them. The guy tossed the two pylons into the passenger side of the cart, and one bounced and landed on the gas pedal. Those things are weighted and heavy enough that they were able to keep it down. 32 minutes ago, Sasquatch said: Thanks for sharing - kudos to the dude who jumped in the cart and got it stopped.

If you watch, he's chasing the cart even before it runs into the big group of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
