Oh definitely. I try to follow some of the higher level discussion but get lost at times. Thread dedicated to such in conjunction with the All 22 stuff to illustrate as well would be great.

Same.
And I think because the thread moves so quick sometimes that most of that discussion is quickly lost.
The Indy Star has a film breakdown every week of a play or two. Not super technical but better than most. My problem is that there just aren't Rams forums that do that stuff. Giants, Packers and Steelers fans probably have more of that stuff than they could ever want

I'd like a seperate NFL thread as well so I can discuss how upset I am Lovie Smith lost his job and Jerry Fucking Angelo still has his.
I had no idea. I'm a terrible fan.
? got fired last year
I wish. I think Spectral was in here complaining about how crappy most fan forum sites are and I agree. Most of them are just the same 10 people having the same argument over and over and over again. Wait, I just described this thread.
Bob, get your crew in order.
The high level football discussion thread is probably not for you.

As far as the Jets are concerned Rex is doing his job better than any1. No1 sees more headlines than the Rex-lead Jets!

I just realized I said Jerry Angelo....I'll excuse myself now.
Problem for SEA on D is their pass rush is awful. I think people got confused by that GB game and they had a bunch of sacks. That was more GB than SEA. If Griffin was healthier then maybe.
An interesting thing to watch for is what SEA does with Red Bryant. In no way can he handle the read option at DE, but he's also extremely stout vs the run. If they go with their smaller DEs, WAS should just run with Morris out of the I. If they catch him in the game, go no huddle
I tried with my all 22 posts that everyone ignored
Definitely a good idea once the offseason starts
Noooo, I loved those posts.
I just don't have to add anything to those discussions, doesn't mean they're ignored.

The game was totally in doubt for the first quarter.

I actually meant Phil Emery---but in a way I didn't, because I let my hatred for Jerry Angelo bleed into my opinion of Emery. I hated Emery's picks this year and it brought back bitter memories. In the end, I don't dislike Emery as much as would seem from my terrible post.
It's late....my brain isn't working. Not that I say anything terribly smart in the middle of the day, but anywho.
Maybe the first Drive, the Vikings looked ok and I was a little bit worried (until I saw Webb throw)

Read and enjoyed them all.
The Bradford gifs just started to run together though. He is what he is.
Yeah, the game was over when Webb tried that third down pass in the red zone.
Yeah that game was tight! Did you see the two times Webb panicked and flung the ball straight up like it was on fire? Who knows what could have happened on those plays, man? If those two plays go for TDs, it's tied at 24!

Just came here to post that I hope tomorrows' games are more exciting. Joe Webb meant the game was over before it even started and its not like it's exciting watching two inept quarterbacks go at each other in a fieldgoal fest. Not a very exciting start to the playoffs but we shall see how tomorrow plays out.
no worries. not really familiar with emery, but I guess I would suggest that the coaches on offense were probably incapable of developing talent. did anyone go there (on offense) and get better?
Yeah I laid it on there too much. But those are the only games I really dug through. Posted one about when a WR should slice vs Cover 2 or stay vertical. Only way I'm gonna come across that question is in a game I watch
My apologies.

No one has ever gone to Chicago and gotten better. If anything, it's the place where offensive players have gone to die. I blame Lovie for a lot of it. He had control over his staff, and a ton of input into drafts. He kept bums like our receiver's coach Daryl Drake around when it was obvious he simply couldn't develop the talent Angelo was drafting him. Hester and Knox are complete disasters because of him. Mike Tice was Lovie's bright idea, as was Mike Martz. While Lovie built an amazingly consistent defense, he also build a consistently terrible offense.
Right now Emery is saying all the right things. His press conference was incredibly impressive. After having lived with Angelo as the GM for so long, it was nice to hear a GM who could reasonably explain his decisions and the direction he hoped to take the franchise. I'm really liking the various coaches being interviewed. It's a really wide net, and not at all the typical Bears cheap defensive coordinators. I think he can take this team to the next level.

In all honesty, I don't think we do a good job at developing talent. I liked the potential in Greg Olsen, but we used him as a blocker more than a receiver to patch up our terrible O-line, then traded him away to Carolina. I could be completely wrong, but I feel like you have to be a great player when you come to the Bears, else we'll ditch your ass. The idea of evolving or developing someone seems like a lost notion. I wanted to use Hester as an example of developing talent, but I don't like him at all as a receiver. He doesn't know how to finish a route. Doesn't know how to step up to the ball.
I really liked Martz. But it was someone's bright idea to bring him to Chicago for his "offensive genius" then not allow him to run the kind of offense he wanted to. That I blame on Lovie.
Those passes were something else. After the first one, I went and started playing with my nephew---lost hope real quick.
Why did Minnesota start throwing the ball more? They were moving the ball really well on the first drive by just running it. You could see that Webb wasn't going to be accurate tonight. Did Webb practice with the first team this week, or was it really just a last minute decision to have Ponder sit?
Minnesota needs a new backup quarterback for next season. Webb doesn't appear to be capable of doing that job.

Thought someone said Webb took the practice snaps this week. Ponder tried to warm up but couldn't make throws so Webb started.

Hopefully the Rams game was a wake up call for the D-Line. Not expecting them to play out of their minds, but hopefully can get some pressure w/o sending every god damn LB and DB.

No other starting QB left in the playoffs will be as bad as Webb. I can't even fathom it.

It's alright. I'm used to being the forgotten Steeler fan. :/
