Chiefs Offense - Page 6

Direckshun · 11-05-2018, 08:55 AM

Yesterday, I watched three NFL football games, a rare day in which I was free enough to do so.

The games I watched were Mahomes carving up the Browns defense, Brees carving up the Rams defense, Goff carving up the Saints defense, Rodgers carving up the Patriots defense, and Brady carving up the Packers defense.

Their stats vary and to say that they could do literally anything they wanted on offense would be an understatement, but after watching football for the day, I gotta say, I miss defense.

That's not to cast aspersions on Chiefs football in 2018, which is as good as its ever been, but I've played team sports my entire life, and I've always played defense. Soccer, basketball, football, baseball/softball... I've always prided myself on defense.

I come from the franchise of Derrick Thomas, too. I love a passrusher bending the edge, and press coverage on the outside, and a punishing linebacker smack on a foolish receiver across the middle, a defensive tackle being nigh unmovable in the middle of the defensive line. I love Eric Berry tracking down Gronkowski, Dontari Poe collapsing the A gap, Derrick Johnson jumping the under routes, Tamba Hali's jiu jitsu to shed a tackle. With the endless rule changes, I'm afraid that has been taken from us.

Again: I'm not complaining about the Chiefs 2018, but rather the NFL 2018.

I don't know what to do here, folks. Are we just doomed to lose that aspect of the game at this point?

He's not though. I should have taken a screen shot. Hang on.

This is literally as close to the actual snap as I can get:

Here's the exact moment the ball was snapped The ball is not quite touching the yard marker - a few inches inside. Doesn't look like Ford jumped or was in the NZ:

However like one frame later Ford's hand is across the line, which I bet is what the side judge keyed on:

I think Ford was so fast it literally fooled him. Bullshit. Keep the flag in your pocket unless it's obvious.

Look at the 2nd picture here. His head is across the line where she's standing hoveing the LOS

That was at the actual moment of the snap. His head isn't any farther forward in the 2nd screen as it was in the 1st.

I think that's the best D in the league. The Ravens just aren't athletic enough and the Jags are in shambles.

Cowboys haven’t played a good offense yet.

I don't know, the Panthers are scoring like 29-30 ppg and Dallas held them to 16. Of course, that's the best offense they've faced, too. Mostly bad offenses so far.

Fair point.

The yard line is not the same as the LOS.

The yard line is not the same as the LOS. Her straddle shows where the LOS is.

I'm pretty sure the refs are trained to not throw the flag when it's this close.

If that's offsides then Derrick Thomas isn't in the hall of fame. His legendary jump is responsible for most of his sacks. It appears he's offsides but he's not which is what this ref probably thought. The NFL needs to issue an apology.

They just gave up 28 points to Marriotta at home. Great defense my ass

I don't know if I should laugh at them getting shut out by the Titans/Mariota in the 2nd half, or just tell them that I understand?
