    Team looks like ****, they have every first half this season. Baltimore is going to be much easier to defend the 2nd half with Mallett so I'll wait til 4th before I write this game off.

    Cower and Primetime both in a way defending Kiko. Saying Flacco was going for the first down and waited too long to slide. But because he has the golden QB protection he can wait as long as he wants... and what's Alonso supposed to do? let him get it?

    I agree with Cowher. Is it a foul? Yes. Flagrant/intentional? No.

    I get the reason for protecting QB's... but **** that... when you get outside the pocket, and you're a runner... guess what? You're getting hit. No more sliding. Don't want to get hit? Dont want to risk the injury to your star QB? Don't run him. The QB has too much advantage on that play, and the D, forced to react quickly is at too much of a disadvantage. What's kiko supposed to do? Slow down, and let him slide, get hte first down the tap him on the shoulder pad? I get the intent of the rule, but it's too much in favor of the offense, and it's compounded by how much of a disadvantage it puts on the D.

    They are selling out on the run and blitzes and betting Moore can't beat them. They are right so far for a variety of reasons (Moore not making calls, Damien Williams sucking his own dick out there, the line not being great). Playaction and screens, which we tried but couldn't execute.

    It's concerning when we're still talking about the O-line after investing three 1st round draft picks into them.

    They have a quality secondary though. WR's are not running free out there.

    Normally, the way we've been playing in second half i wouldn't think coming back from 20 is out of the question (which is weird if you think about it). But for some reason Baltimore has our number. I am not getting my hopes up.

    That's why they are selling out. We simply haven't made them pay for it. Romo even said it, we had a TD on that screen but Williams just fell over like a chump.

    yards per route run. He was targeted at an unusually high rate when lined up outside (suggesting, a lot of the times he lined up out wide they were really intending on getting him the ball). But his yards per target were quite low. And ypc is low too. His yards per catch from the slot was over 13, but less than 9 out wide. Suggesting screens probably.

    Romo said none of the WR are running free. What do you do then? They're beating the O-line like a pulp and nobody is open.

    Yeah, but just because they were drafted there (and how long ago?) doesn't mean they're any good. I know you know that, but that's on the front office

    Three first round picks invested in that offensive line. With that much investment in the offensive line, to still be this bad at it, i dont know what to tell you. Thats a failure in scouting, and a failure in developing the players. We should have a top five offensive line with that many first rounders.

    Also note we had a cokehead guiding them..

    Why can we never step up and fair catch punts?

    I find it HILARIOUS that you say this when Moore is starting.

    News flash... this is the EXACT same way this team has played in the first half all season.

    He said the WR's have to fight and win tough catches. Stills and Carroo made some. The OL can't block 6-7-8 people every down. They have not been good, and Williams has not been good, but we haven't executed when we had chances, like that screen, or the deep pass to Stills (Moore overthrew it). We are just not executing.

    The good part is if they can force this game into Mallet's hands then that should ideally lead to a lot of punting and the Ravens D getting gassed.

    I kind of expected his yards per target to be on the lower side, but wasn't he decent with YAC and first down conversions? I think that's where he sort of shines, iirc.

    He can just get cut. Brings nothing out there. Send him back on a coach flight to get his playbook and that's that.

    Why are you acting like a 5 year old tonight? Seriously. Enough of this garbage already. The game is bad enough, no need to try and pick fights with each other too.

    All receivers who get the ball near the LOS have good/great yac. That's why running backs and slot WRs dominate the yac leaderboards and someone like AJ Green and Dez Bryant have low LOS.

    First down conversions are more of slot WR statistic. I mean, guys out wide are usually catching it further than 10 yards :D
