What we learned week 1

[Titty Meat]

This could be a fun weekly thread about what we learned about teams from week to week.

Mannings arm is done but Denver's defense is good.

The Chargers are still the Chargers

Raiders are still the Raiders

A lot of the Jets problems were Rex Ryan

Pete Carroll is a dumbass

Mariotta is a stud

[RunKC]

The Colts defense still sucks

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Yet Buffalo thrives with Rex and wins a game that Marrone would never have won today.

I might be the only person that thinks Rex is a good coach.

The Texans have no QB

I think by season's end, this post will be a great example of why we don't judge teams based on week 1.

[Gadzooks]

The Chargers are still the Chargers

Heh.

[Titty Meat]

Rex might be a good coach though I would disagree because he doesn't value the QB position but much like Reid in Philly it got old and just needed a change of scenery

Absolutely

[Mr. Flopnuts]

You're not the only one. I just gave him credit for being a huge part of upsetting indy.

[notorious]

If Ryan was given a QB he might value the position.

He basically makes chicken salad out of chicken shit. We really don't know what he's capable of with better ingredients.

He's been a head coach for what 7 years now? I'd think he has some say in it. Look at the list of the qbs he's had I think it's a fair question.

[Mav]

Disagree. They went and got tyrod Taylor who is perfect for Greg Roman. I love everything about that team.

[Dave Lane]

I think Rex is good for an organization for 3-4 years then he needs to be shown the door.

[Titty Meat]

We'll see but I never thought Taylor was that good of a QB and Roman is kind of an idiot.

[Mav]

Greg Roman was never the problem in San Francisco. It was Harbs. And I love Harbs but he never let Roman just go. He always micro managed. Rex appears to be leaving roman to it . We will see. Taylor is benefiting from the scheme.

[BryanBusby]

Rex Ryan is a halfer. He can lead a solid team that's already pieced together, but he's not a builder.

[tmax63]

Denver's offense isn't that scary anymore but their defense has improved.

[tboss27]

Eric Fisher's teammates (at least Sean Smith) think he's a little girl.

[chiefzilla1501]

I only saw the 1pm games:

Chuck Pagano is really overrated. Gotten throttled in 2 playoff games. Made the playoffs twice on a cupcake schedule in a really, really, really bad division.

Despite the score, the Browns should have beaten the Jets. You can't make this shit up because... Browns. McCown fumbles diving into the end zone. Browns pick Fitzpatrick, then Marshall rips the ball out from the guy. Take away the dumb mistakes and if McCown doesn't leave the game, the Browns should have won that one

The Bears' main issue was Trestman. Cutler isn't a great QB but he was a terrible fit for Trestman's offense and I think both guys knew it.

Ryan Tannehill looked like absolute dogshit. This is supposed to be the year where he really steps it up, and he didn't do that today

[chiefzilla1501]

Eric Fisher's teammates (at least Sean Smith) think he's a little girl.

Wrong Shaun Smith. The Shaun Smith that called him out has never met Fisher in his life.

[Reerun_KC]

Reid is still Reid when trying to put a team away and leave no doubt.

Indy's best year was when Arians coached that team. I wanted him bad for the Chiefs, but I'm very happy with Reid. I'm not remotely shocked at how Arizona looks though. Pagano is a cancer to Indy in all honestly. Sorry. Too soon?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

We learned that Baltimore's offense lacks imagination.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

And Andrew Luck looks mortal against a quality defense.

And despite everything you just mentioned there are so many on this board that want to complain about Reid, Dorsey, and Smith. The fans that have been patient are going to be rewarded this season.

[MahiMike]

I learned that the QBs in the jags panthers game will never win a SB.

[MahiMike]

Also I relearned that in offense it's all about the scheme. Andy reid, chip kelly, etc. You know Andy scripted the 1st half.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

My head coach is passive-aggressive, and possibly mentally unstable.

Also, Flemming sucks balls and I might start being nicer to Sean Smith.

[Reerun_KC]

I totally see your point now. I mean, I knew you were right, but now it just jumps off the screen and kicks you right in the nuts.

Ugh.

Jesus dude slow your roll, we won today, enjoy it for a minute.

[SAUTO]

We learned how nice a game thread could be without clay.


Another thanks to dole

[Gadzooks]

The Chiefs beat a shitty team, yet, Reerun expects his Chiefs to demolish a shitty team. No harm in that.

[Marcellus]

Except the Texans aren't a shitty team, it was on the road, and really it wasn't nearly as close as the score would indicate.

[Reerun_KC]

Jesus dude slow your roll, we won today, enjoy it for a minute.

:harumph:

It was a good day. Listened to take while helping daughter remodel house. Will watch the DVR tomorrow at lunch.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Our patchwork line did very well against a tough Texan's front.

By the way, the Jets win wasn't convincing at all. They should have been getting crushed in the first half. The Jets won because the Browns... were the Browns. The Jets are probably still... the Jets.

Forgot to add one more thing... that Seahawk OL is atrocious. That team is going to have a bumpy road this year.

[milkman]

I don't know that we learned anything today.

But I think we should have learned over the last 2 years is that the Seahawk defense is only as good as Bobby Wagner and Kam Chancelor.

Kenan Allen is a bad ass

Peyton won't last the season

The Packers have terrible run defense.

Reid better be calling his number plenty in two weeks.

[Hootie]

the Manning thing reminds me of his first year in Denver when McCoy tried to run his offense instead of letting Manning do his thing ... predictably, Denver was terrible as was Manning ... and then in the 3rd game they fell down 21-0, at home, in prime time and Manning scrapped everything and went back to his no huddle offense and they rattled off like 9 straight scores, won, and didn't lose again

why do these coaches come in and decide to take Manning's offense away from him? I mean, it's so stupid

[BryanBusby]

I didn't see much difference in the type of plays Denver ran. Just seemed like they were running it slowly.

No idea who decided to do this, but hope they don't stop it.

Maybe Manning thinks he can't run his offense anymore?

[ThaVirus]

Suh is still a shithead

[Rain Man]

Ryan Mallett has a live arm, unlike Peyton Manning.

[Titty Meat]

Coughlin should have been fired after last year

[Hoopsdoc]

Yep, they let the wrong coach go, although they didn't really have a choice. Pagano was coming back from cancer and had only coached a few games at that point. There was no way of knowing what kind of coach he would be and PR precluded firing him for Arians anyway.

[Hoopsdoc]

Disagree. They went and got tyrod Taylor who is perfect for Greg Roman. I love everything about that team.

That team is good. We'll see if they can keep it up but I was impressed with Taylor yesterday. He was composed and accurate.

[patteeu]

The Chargers are still the Chargers

Raiders are still the Raiders

Insightful analysis.

A lot of the Jets problems were Rex Ryan

and a lot of the Bills problems were not having Rex Ryan?

[Buehler445]

Taylor rushed it 9 times. I didn't get the game, but if he's going to rush it 144 times, me thinks he can't keep it up because he'll be dead. Suh by himself will probably ensure that, if he's not suspended forever for hacking dudes apart with a machete he had stashed in his asscrack.

[Titty Meat]

Read what I said about a change of scenery.

[patteeu]

Read what I said about a change of scenery.

Yeah, I saw that. It makes some sense.

[beach tribe]

Ryan Mallett has a live arm, unlike Peyton Manning.

I really thought that is what caught our guys off guard.

They don't see the ball move like that in practice.

[Chiefnj2]

We learned:
1. Johnny football still isn't NFL ready.
2. Buffalo will not be a fun place to play.
3. Tannehill sucked against the lowly Redskins.
4. Gronk may set the NFL record for TD receptions in a season, but the Pats D looks suspect.
5. PFF's QB grading is bizarre giving Big Ben a higher score than Brady.
6. Pitt's D is terrible.
7. The Bengals are regular season super stars.
8. Teams should let Manning run his own offense the way he wants.
9. The Raiders look terrible.
10. Pac Man is still a thug.
11. The Giants clock management needs improvement.
12. The Cowboys will be less interesting without Dez for the next 6 weeks.
13. Rodgers is amazing, despite what Hootie thinks.
14. The Saints still have no defense.
15. The Chargers are scrappy.
16. Mariotta will be fun to watch.

[lcarus]

I learned they still haven't fixed the stupid catch rule. Just change it back to 2 feet in bounds and complete control, with complete control being a judgement call. Maclin clearly had control long enough and 2 feet in.

[Beef Supreme]

Seriously. Maclin caught the ball took three steps with it firmly in his possession, landed on his back, in bounds, with the ball firmly in his possession, then rolled out of bounds and the ball moved a little, but never touched the ground. It's fucking ridiculous that isn't a catch.

The same rule that prevented Calvin Johnson's "catch" in the endzone a few years ago applies here. Maclin didn't maintain possession to the ground and even though he prevented the ball from hitting the turf, by the time he finally possessed it, he was out of bounds. No catch.

Oh, I understand the fucking rule. It's just stupid.

Maclin was down, in bounds, with possession. Anything after that should be irrelevant.

[bricks]

I hate this stupid rule where a receiver has to establish complete, full possession of the ball throughout the entire motion of when he first receives the ball to when he comes into contact with the ground. Why does it have to be so hard? You know how hard that is to do? And how many times these pros are ****ing up as a result.

The league has to change this rule. Ease the bearing, weight on these receivers shoulders please.

[patteeu]

OK, I agree that that's the way the rule should be.

I am more worried about the Chargers than the Donkeys after their come from behind win yesterday.

[Titty Meat]

Amazing how much alot of these offenses look behind with all these pre season games

[Hammock Parties]

It was a bad call.

Make up call for the two PIs that the Chiefs weren't flagged for.

[MotherfuckerJones]

They need to tweak this catch bullshit. That was catch by Maclin. Must expect these guys to get hit by a Mack truck and follow through with the catch.

[TEX]

Yep. No way they should have won that game down 21-3, BUT they did. Weird things like that tend to happen when its gonna be a good season. Unless you're the Chiefs. Then it just means that you're gonna get it two-fold the other way in the games to come.

[TEX]

They need to tweak this catch bullshit. That was catch by Maclin. Must expect these guys to get hit by a Mack truck and follow through with the catch.

You got that right! THAT WAS A CATCH. It happened right in front of me. I saw the replay on the NRG Stadium big screen and it sure looked like Maclin came down with the ball and WAS TOUCHED BY THE DEFENDER. Should have been ruled "Down by contact." THEN the ball moved a little (after down by contact) and he regained complete control when partially out of bounds. In fact many Texan fans in my section saw it that way too. I really think it was a make-up call.

[scho63]

Make up call for the two PIs that the Chiefs weren't flagged for.

Neither one was a PI. 2nd one was close but first one was totally uncatchable and a good non-call.

The refs need to let the DB's have a little leeway instead of any tiny tap being a PI when the WR cries like a soccer bitch. :harumph:

You might have a good case. They were not as cut and dry as Hou fans are making them out to be. The first one was a terrible pass thrown behind the WR. The 2nd was just like the Bowe non-call in the playoff loss to the Colts in '13. I've seen both types called and not called before. I'm with you though, you gotta let these DB's play b/c the rules are so stacked against them and against defense in general.
