I'll be gone most of the day, I'll add on later. Please feel free to post if you find something interesting.

Season-high 106 yds after contact due to the notably bad tackling cited repeatedly in the GDT. Hope this is a point of emphasis this week in practice.

What happened to Dugger? It's like he forgot who he was.

They play him more as a high safety and less closer to the LoS like in the past, not sure why, i liked him more and he seemed to have more impact as a LB/SS hybrid in the past

the tackling overall has to improive on full D# regardless eho is out their each snap

I think it's because they've had to rotate the safeties more without McCourty. Devin played 99% of his snaps in the deep part of the field, and could cover so much ground that guys like Dugger could play loose in the box. They don't really have a true Free Safety type right now, so it's been deep cover by committee. They've done well overall I think, but it does take a little bit away from Dugger's strength in the process.

They're going to have to be MUCH better at tackling in Miami. Those guys are so fast. Secondary had a lot of whifs and broken tackles.
The last TD to Diggs, where he got off the ground and ran in was HORRIBLE. Jackson & Bryant looked like they just gave up and let him go.
I hope Mayo chewed them out for that.

 

[PatsFan2]

Unstoppable play a thing of beauty Reagor was open both times good stuff.

 

[PatsFan2]

Really shows how bad D Parker is why is he not using that Big Body on Slants?? Useless.

IF Miles away Bryant is active on Sunday I'm going be upset what a useless player.

Some part of me wonders if Bill and Mac have seen the calls for them both to lose their jobs in the media and have bonded together over it. I kind of expected there would be a lot more reported hostility by now but it's been kinda quiet and instead they just got a big win against a major AFC power team.

Now Bill gets fresh bulletin board material like Richard Sherman saying "that's nice but they still suck, they won't sniff the playoffs" etc. Bill absolutely loves the "nobody believes in you" card.

IF Mac have a repeat performance like Sunday win or lose we have our QB for the future and just need to get him better weapons. BB is here for the long haul Coach those men up.

This is what I have been saying. Mac has not been throwing the ball over the middle, like a slant, but did against the Bills. Lazar says he does not understand what changed because the middle of the field has been open all year. If you look at Lazar's first video it is Mac throwing the slant to Reagor against the Bills - an easy toss and catch for 10+ yards - and then Lazar shows a very similar play against the Raiders where Reagor is wide open at the bottom of the screen on a slant, #83, and Mac did not throw to him. Lazar is trying to understand where the MOF passes have been all year and why Mac started throwing them against Buffalo.

Let's hope the passes over the MOF continue, but this type of easy pass for 10 yards is all on Mac. It is a quick release pass that is not on the OL or the receivers. Mac finally "clicked" against Buffalo, let's hope he can keep doing it. The OL was better and gave Mac confidence, but Lazar is showing that Mac also started using all of the field which was not dependent on the OL or "weapons".

Parker, Reagor, and Thornton have been open on slants all year and Mac did not make the play - that was Lazar's point. Not throwing to the middle of the field has been a Mac deficiency, not a problem with the receivers.

I need to see consistency from Mac before I say we don’t need a QB.
But today 10/24 I am in the let’s fortify the O line and get Mac weapons club.
Really the let’s get Ju Ju and Devante out of New England club and get a dominant third down pass catching back club.
Let’s bring in a bruising fullback club.

Mac's lack of using the middle of the field (inside the numbers) has been my #1 criticism all year. Made it difficult to truly evaluate the WRs.

Juju is going be on us like a cheap suit very difficult contract to shed unless we plan on eating the dead $$$$. I wouldn't be against it terrible signing knowing what we do now.
