Steelers very frequently run screens out of this formation. I know people scoffed at the idea of Pats personnel stealing playbooks, but I find it highly dubious the Pats prepared for this with just regular scouting and game tape.

The entire back 7 stays honest, and before the snap the safeties backpedal and never even hesitate. It's very sketchy. Maybe it is just great scouting?

 

[Crisco]

Texans should trade him to Seattle. Man that defense would be historical

Derek Anderson for Watt, straight up! I'll even throw in Mario Addison as a sweetener, he had 2 sacks last game!

Brad Biggs' power rankings are the best. Wild swings week to week.

I'm still perplexed by this play. If you don't recognize it this is the trick play the Steelers ran that lost them yardage and stalled their opening drive. 12 personnel, Steelers have been running all game to this point, Patriots safeties are high and start retreating at the snap.

Safties dropping back into deep coverage is brand new. They invented it that game.

 

[eznark]

didnt ask for a login but:

24. Texans 0-1 (17): Bill O'Brien cannot be seriously considering Ryan Mallett as his quarterback.

 

[jmdajr]

Not that surprising.

OT-GAF have shown time and time again that its full of two types of people

1) Patriots bandwagoners with a flimsy grasp of reality

2) Nerds that hate sports, people who play and people who like watching them, because they don't get them.

I lol at the anti Super Bowl party posts on facebook.

Um... no!

Yeah, they definitely knew it was coming. Could've been that somebody gave it away, or could've been the pats' top notch SIGINT.

Interesting thing to me is, they were so certain it was going to be a wr pass that if he'd had the flexibility to run it like a normal screen, that's an easy 1st...

 

[Crisco]

Texans just need to throw Tom Savage to the wolves. Either he sacks up and develops into a franchise caliber QB, or they go 2-14 and draft someone decent.

Oh wait, he's on IR. Yikes

See, the thing is I remember the last two times the Steelers ran this play. 2012 against the Bengals on SNF:

and against the Jets in 2013

Twice in the four years Haley has been OC. Both teams they ran it against bit hard. Pats sniffed that out despite the Steelers playing a simple high percentage screen out of that formation 10 times as often?

Whether we were outcoached or outplayed or they had some kind of a leg up, I always felt that they knew some of our offensive plays,” Roethlisberger said. “For whatever reason. Maybe it was better scouting or whatever. But I had always felt that. But I’m not one to sit and say, ‘Hey,’ you know, to pout about it or talk about it. I just felt that they were — they beat us on that day and maybe I was a rookie and didn’t know any better but I always felt that the knew some of the plays we were calling.”

 

[squicken]

I guess I would want to see a gif of a screen, but if you just look at the OL, they are pass blocking. No one releases their guy as to block downfield like with a screen.

I see your point, but neither Pats safety even stutter steps to diagnose. They knew the play.

Safeties don't key offensive linemen.

Someone said they should go after Matt Cassel.

What other patriot rejects are there?

 

[squicken]

To me, that is the dubious part. The safeties total lack of reaction, and pre-snap backpedal.

e: Fire BoB. Romeo for HC. Go 2-14 until a franchise QB can be drafted.

 

[Spinluck]

Vick Ballard era in Indy is over. rip

We're bringin back Bradshaw!

Meaning there should be 1 RB on the depth chart by week 8!

I wonder if we'll get the same amount of bitching and whining when Jimmy T dominates Tomlin, smh.

Destiny TTK is sooooo good

Guess I'll buy it.

But I need to hear what you thought of Destiny before this expansion to make a firm decision.

If Mangini becomes a hot HC candiate, would you want Jed to send Jimmy back to his van and keep Mangenius, or stay with JT?

At this point I'm pretty sure Baalke is coaching and all these shitty ex HC they collected are just hanging out

 

[Eleuin]

Can't wait for SNF!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I don't know, is he a cheating scumbag?

Seems your Head Coach is more interested in who ate the Cheetos turds he was saving rather than cheating at football.

Destiny until this past summer was empty and boring.

This has a story, cutscenes, and better gear and weapons

Watt?

 

[Jarnet87]

it's too early to go to Mallet, you ride Hoyer for at least another couple weeks. O'Brien is damned if he does damned if he doesn't, but switching QBs this early makes him look like an incompetent fool playing QB musical chairs every week.

Eagles underrated, Chargers overrated in Week 2 Power Rankings Insider

Week 1 doesn't tell us much

The knee-jerk reaction after Week 1 is to immediately move teams up or down the Power Ranking based on Week 1 results. Last year, the Patriots lost 33-20 to the Dolphins in Week 1 and won the Super Bowl, and the Titans beat the Chiefs 26-10 and won one more game the entire season.

FPI does not overreact to wins and losses; it accounts for the level of competition faced and how each team (and the units on each team) performed compared to expectations. Based on these factors, the Eagles may be underrated in the latest ESPN Power Rankings and the Chargers may be overrated.

----
Philadelphia Eagles

Power Rankings rank: 15

FPI rank: 5

Reason they're underrated: Special teams not predictive

In a game that FPI expected to be a tossup, the Eagles performed about as expected on the road against the Falcons. The main reason they lost was poor special-teams play; in addition to missing a potential game-winning field goal with 2:26 remaining, the Eagles were outplayed on punts and kickoffs.

Accounting for the context of each play, the Eagles' special teams cost the team 10.6 points, while their offense and defense each outplayed the Falcons. Of the three phases of the game, special teams is the least predictive from one game to the next, so going forward, the Eagles are predicted to be one of the top-five teams in the league.

LOL OMG it hurts .... stop making us laugh. You mean you think they cheated when the team they were playing RAN the same play 2 times before. As in, if the staff actually did some research they would know what to look for. Do you even know what you are saying anymore?

Yes, they stole the playbook. The whole thing. It was laying on top of the coffee maker inside the coaches room. The Pats just walked in and got it while Tomlin was taking a nice shit. Exactly what happened!

Man, the Patriots coaching staff is not only in the heads of the other NFL staffs, but the fans too.

I love it!

If you even paid attention to Belichick ONCE, you would know he breaks down plays from 10+ years ago on a telestrator on local shows. He has been a coach for 40 years and you think he has never seen this play before? Do you know they coach all sorts of situational plays in mini-camp?

Oh yeah, btw. Miami ran a play like this on the Pat's 2 years ago and scored a long gain. And yeah, Pat's have run this play also.

[bionic77]

The cheater is trying to make people forget about when the Niners were good.

Also it was kind of weird that they sniffed that play out so easily especially considering how badly they were getting beat in the run game.

It IS possible that could recognize some cheat or advance sign of the trick play. But also possible that Tomlin is a dumb fuck and they stole our playbook before the game.

Which is more likely?

GAF you decide!

If the Pats didn't want to be seen as cheaters maybe they should not have cheated for so many years.

The rep is there. Stop crying about it and move on. That's just who your team is.

Well, I'm convinced.

The Pats lifelong says the Pats don't cheat (even though they've been caught twice) - I guess that settles it!

 

[ScottSullivan]

Yea i mean look at all those lost players, the 49ers are doomed to have a poor defense and bad running game all season long!
