Time to get to real

[gossamorharpy]

Been a while since I was swearing at Corcoran, too. The injury might have something to do with that, but you know.

Lol, raiola as assistant of the year after white is a ridiculous take.  If the answer is any one but Knighton, its incorrect.  The d line not only has a few successes of guys leveling up finally (nash and t rob) but clearly the future is bright as hell with the young guys.

I'm sorry, and maybe I'm in the minority, but I haven't been overly impressed by the o line at all.  Sure, the penalties have been down in recent weeks but so much of our rushing stats is padded by long QB runs on play breakdowns and some chunk runs here and there.  If you take away johnson's 29 yard run in the 4th and chubba's rushes, our run game was pitiful this past weekend.  I will give them kuddos for cleaning up the penalties recently but that should be expected given how undisciplined that unit has been for years on end.  The only bright spot has been there's been zero drop off, and if anything, a bit cleaner play with the younger guys and teddy finally looking like hes somewhat back up to speed.  I am hopeful the freshman on the team now, plus a couple key recruits this year will mean continued improvement and more depth- but I haven't see s#!t this year to be raving about raiola.  

I'll be impressed when I see us actually eat up a team in the run game or put away a team in the 4th.  Its not like we're not calling run plays, its just inneffective and often leaves our offense in 2nd/3rd and long which is a disaster waiting to happen with turnover prone QBs (by disaster waiting to happen I mean we've tuned into disaster after disaster all season).

Edit: @Toe for some reason I couldn';t quote the post you referenced, fyi, was more responding to that post lol

Hey, that's nothing to scoff at - self-destruction on offense has been by far the biggest problem with this team. I mean imagine if we could look at the QBs as a group and say the turnovers have been down in recent weeks!

I don't think anyone would say that they're "impressed" with the OL, but I think it's reasonable to say that they've looked better overall in the last few games, beyond just the penalties.

We can try and sugarcoat it as much as we want, but the reality is that the only bright spot of our offense has been the emergence of Emmett Johnson. Other than EJ who has been running with purpose, our offense is amongst the worst and most boring offenses in all of FBS and FCS. The truth of the matter is that if it hadn’t been for our defense playing lights out, we would be 2-8 right now. Our OL, although somewhat improved from last year, is still subpar. We do not have a QB, our TE is one and done type of player, and our WRs have butterfingers. And to top it all, we have an OC that does not understand the strengths and weaknesses of his offense. Sometimes it feels like he thinks he has Aaron Rodgers for QB. We substituted costly penalties with costlier turnovers. At this point, can anyone really see this offense scoring 20 points in a game? If any of the above is not true then you are definitely not “keeping it real”.

Holy hyperbole. We throw the ball less than everybody in the entire United States except the military academies, and the passing concepts are about as simple as they possibly can be on the exceedingly rare times we actually throw it. What are you talking about?

So, is the Aaron Rodgers comment that hurt your feelings? Do you agree with the rest of the statements? What about costly turnovers? Is that also a hyperbole? I am just trying to get a sense of what exactly hurt your feelings so I stop doing it.
