NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Wild Card Monday: Texans at Steelers

[PatsfanTN]

Yeah I don't want any part of this Houston defense

Agreed, no way no how.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Wow what an EMBARRASSING series for Aaron Rodgers. He ran 7 plays and got 4 yards.

Last play he fell down after his OL got pushed into him. The dude is so overrated.

I’ve been trying to tell you guys. It’s no joke.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

7 play, 4 yard drive.

There actually are Steelers fans who think they can make it to the super bowl winning turnovers 5-0 , kicking 5 fgs and winning 15-13 every week

 

[TinhWoodhead]

I'm not concerned. Maye is much more lethal than Rodgers is.

he looks 52

 

[Malua]

Why I have a feeling that Aikman hates AR and is enjoying when he fails, lol

 

[NFL Mystique]

I'm not concerned. Maye is much more lethal than Rodgers is.

Mobility wise for sure.

But their defense has done this to most QB's.

Something i think teams forget on going for 4th in the red zone is where you end up.

For instance going for 4th and 2 at the 6 yard line means If you make it you get 1st and goal from the 4th at worst... likely 3rd or better.

If you go for 4th and 2 from the 11/12th and run a play just to get the first down... now you get a 4th and goal at the 10/9/8. You take a huge risk for what is much less likely to get you a reward.

I think many OCs often lose site of down and distance when it comes to setting up the things near/in the red zone. You are SO MUCH MORE likely to score inside than outside the 5. It just becomes so much harder to get each yard. And yet time and again I see DCs not really properly set up their goal line opportunities. They are so hyper focused on getting that next first down they don't think about what comes after. Sometimes on 3rd down you can't avoid it. But when i see a played called to get exactly 2 yards when you need exactly 1.5 to put you first and goal at nearly the 10... I just lose my mind. You are setting yourself up for failure if you start from there.

This is something i notice no one every seems to talk about but in my mind it is so important.

Neither are the Patriots.

 

[PatsFan2]

Schooler's Brother on the Squeelers??

 

[patchick]

Gotta say, Houston’s defense plays voracious.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Oh they are good. Not even sure how you limit their attack

 

[FCB02062]

Tomlin is a ****ing moron for taking a timeout

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Neither are the Patriots.

If Maye cleans up his pocket fumblitis I feel pretty good against either of these teams

 

[GreenCow]

Mobility wise for sure.

Stafford, the other MVP favorite, struggled to score 14.

 

[BobDigital]

God... just toss it deep to Collins 3 times and punt if you don't get a PI or catch. The Steelers are not marching across the field on you with 40 seconds left.

 

[ViperGTS]

Stafford, the other MVP favorite, struggled to score 14.

I trust McD and Maye to figure it out.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Looks like this game will be a mud fight.

Hopefully it's a war of attrition over 60 minutes.

I wonder what team will manage to back itself into a win somehow?

Looks like a whoever makes the most mistakes will lose type of contest.

 

[GreenCow]

I trust McD and Maye to figure it out.

lol i’m sure you do

 

[BobDigital]

I trust McD and Maye to figure it out.

More so than that... I can just not see the left side of the OL playing that bad 2 weeks in a row no matter who they play.
