Quote:Was not impressed at all with Seattles offense vs the Saints yesterday. Especially the passing offense. If thats what we are trying to emulate, then its going to be another boring regime.
Looks like in Jax we might have Jack Del Rio's boring conservative offense and instead of cover 2 bend but don't break zone defense, we will have aggressive blitzing man to man style defense.
Quote:Not really. Not at all. Seattle is not winning or making any SB's if they play like that next week. The passing game was horrible for the Seahawks and that Saints D isn't all that tough.
Defensive games are like watching paint dry.
Ummm, what? Saints D has given up the 2nd fewest passing yards per game, 4th fewest total yards and 4th fewest points. I believe they rank near the top at total sacks as well.

But that isn't what you said. You said the Saints pass D isn't that tough which is incorrect and completely false.
Quote:I hear ya, but the Saints pass defense isn't exactly going to be confused with the 1991 Buddy Ryan/ Bud Carson all time defense here...its decent, but the Seahawks passing offense was flat out unimpressive yesterday - actually thats how its been for a good part of this season, and IMO will ultimately be a major contributing factor to why they do not win it all again this season.
Decent? They have given up an average of 194.1 passing yards per game. You can just say "I have no idea what I'm talking about and just making stuff up as I go along".
Judge a tree by its fruits, until we start to play like Seattle I'll keep my expectations low to match the teams output.
Here come the excuse makers for Russell Wilson's 50% completion, ONE HUNDRED YARD performance....
yawn.
Quote:The Seahawks have shown us that you don't need the top picks to get a great team. Russell Wilson went very late in the draft and has shown why he should of been taken sooner. Gus Bradley did a great job and left SEA with one of the NFL's best defenses. Things won't go exactly the same for us, but if SEA is being compared it shows all you need is a good coaching staff and GM to fill the stadium and win.
Actually all they've shown is that outliers do exist.
Quote:Watching grass grow or paint dry is about as exciting as watching Seahawk football. The Patriots, Colts and Eagles are MUCH more fun to watch.
Lol.
Have you watched the playoffs this year? The Patriots just won a game playing smash mouth run the ball down your throat offense. And where are the colts and eagles at this week?

The Colts and Eagles are at the beginnings of their long term ascents with Luck and Chip Kelly.
The Patriots don't play smash mouth as a birthright like Seattle and JDR do. The Patriots change gameplans/ styles to whatever they need to on any given week to beat a specific opponent or per the personnel they have that week. The Patriots offense is a chameleon.
Quote:The Colts lost Bruce Arians, and went right back to the playoffs and won their first playoff game.
The Broncos lost Mike McCoy, and set all time NFL records on offense.
The Panthers lost Rob Chudzinski, and won their division.
How many examples do you need? Teams lose coordinators all the time and do not take a step back.
You said, "The fact that Seattle has felt zero negative impact from losing Gus Bradley just convinces me he had little or nothing to do with Seattle's defensive success in the first place."
I have given you three examples of teams that lost coordinators last year and they felt zero negative impact. So you would apparently assert that out of all three NFL coordinators who were hired as head coaches last year, all three had little or nothing to do with their prior team's success. So what you assert about Gus, you would also assert about the other three?
I think you confused him.
Oh Jeez.....the Russell Wilson police just arrived (carly)
I'm sure I'll get an earful... :pinch:

I think I confused myself.

That's what I admire about the Pats. They will come out and throw the ball 20 straight times, or they will come out and run the ball 20 straight times. No crap about "balance." No crap about "imposing their will on the other team." They take what the opponent gives them. That is the intelligent way to play football.

Surely doing the same thing 20 straight times is the definition of imposing your will?

Thats what I like about the Patriots too.
Del Rio and his macho garbage about imposing their will with the running game.....LOL, I remember that

......yeah, that worked great Jack, as you sit winless vs Belichick, you clown.
The Patriots are the model franchise. Thats the team that all should be emulating, if emulating another team's blueprint is what you are going on. A few teams will actually try their own plan, too.
I'd take Wilson over Luck any day of the week. Except that day when we need a triggerhappy QB who likes throwing INTs. Air Arians broke Luck

Not sure if serious....
Hope for his sake that its not

No, but what you said was factually incorrect. You could just start by saying, whoops, messed up and didn't realize how good Saints D was.
Quote:No, but what you said was factually incorrect. You could just start by saying, whoops, messed up and didn't realize how good Saints D was.
The Saints D is good. Better than I presumed. But thats no excuse for 50%, 100 yards passing in a playoff game. That was a horribly ineffective game for Russell Wilson. I hate Seattles offense. Hate it.
