The other change for the 49ers after the bye ( as well as getting healthy) was the benching of Oliver for Thomas and moving Lenoir inside, the coverage on the back end has been so much better these last 4 games.
People keep shitting on the 'ew we have to watch Minshew vs Browning on Sunday' matchup... As somebody from Washington that watches the Apple Cup every year, Im sure EJ can vouch for this... Minshew vs Browning has a chance to be a gunslinger matchup the likes of which we havent seen in decades. If the coaches allow it its going to be an absolute spectacle.
That’s gonna be a fun game
In decades? Really? DECADES? So more so than Mahomes vs Allen in the playoffs a couple years ago?
How many football games have you watched? 3?
The potential _is_ there, playoff implications included. & we know this because the coaches have _already_ allowed both QBs to flourish.
Lol almost
If the Cowboys beat the Eagles then Dak has a real shot of MVP, but I think it's difficult without a statement win !
I agree, MVP is usually less about the stats and more about a narrative.
As much as i love (pun intended) the discussion about the Packers, i think the change over the past couple weeks is being overstated.
Jordan has certainly improved his accuracy to some degree since the start of the year, but just as big a problem was miscommunication (or flat out mistakes) by the Packers WR and TE groups.
The pass-catchers in this offense may literally be the youngest group in the Super Bowl era. The Packers offense heavily relies on anticipation from the QB and that's a two way street: the QB needs to throw to the right spot AND the WR needs to get to the right spot. As good as Adj Comp % is as a stat, its not necessary always a reflection of QB accuracy
1.5 air yards for Deebo in that game. 1.5. Air Yards. & he got over 100 All By Himself.
_That_ is the kind of stat that should make him MVP.
Brett I would love a film room episode on the way the 9ers pass rush played vs the eagles. It was not a stat sheet game at all, but I think their selfless and disciplined approach will lay the blueprint for how d lines rush vs mobile qbs. Can you teach us more about that fascinating game plan?
Trevor Lawrence is who comes to mind. Decides the fate of the Texans, the Colts, and the Jags themselves, as well as a divisional spot and potentially two wildcard spots
Colts control their own fate in making the playoffs but Trevor can help them be division champs or not and can help the Texans male the playoffs.
Always love hearing your guys' opinions
Wow first comment I'm so honored. Been watching you guys for years, love the vids. Can't wait to watch this one!
I still dont trust McCarthy and his playcalling when it comes down to it. Win or go home situation against the best teams in the NFL would i look at McCarthy and think he's going to provide any schematic advantages or trust him to make the right call at the right time? Hell no. Let him prove it, i welcome it.
Got a sixth, Can Goff play well enough to cover for what (with no Mosely, No CJGJ, no Alim McNeil, no James Houston) is a pretty leaky defense?
He really needs to play at his peak level to get that team to the promise land. I’m a Lions fan but you’re exactly right, the defense has been shakier than predicted, so we need some elite QB play. Maybe he can hone 2018 regular season Goff.
No: come _on!_ Even outside of this season, Goff has been consistently inept *when the defense gets in his face.* For instance, do you know how many points Goff-led teams have in Goff's last 2 games against Bellichick? three.
Three Whole Points in Two Full Games.
What's happening to Goff right now has been happening to him his Entire Career. He *almost lost* to the *Bears* due only to this.
@@choosecarefully408 2 games against Belichick are more important than the entire body of work? Lions are 17-5 in their 22 games and your obsessed with a couple games vs the best defensive coach ever? A person with a brain would find it concerning how many game the Lions' DEF allowed 28 or more points. This just in, Belichick isn't in this year's playoffs, Einstein lololol
@@Snoil Yes. That's the advantage of this being in writing, I can check & see that the exact words _I typed_ are "2 games against Belichick are more important than the entire body of work? Lions are 17-5 in their 22 games and your obsessed with a couple games vs the best defensive coach ever." I definitely did type that & we can see that I did, making you arguing against things I definitely did say & criticizing that a Correct Strategy & not one avoiding anything I *did actually* say. No need to waste time discussing that I pointed out that these are examples of Goff crumbling under pressure. Because one definitely Can Not find me saying _that:_ only things you claim I said ARE things I said.
@@choosecarefully408 You're still avoiding the real point, Goff isn't the problem, it's the defense in Detroit that's going to hold them back. And while you can go ahead with the now-tired Goff sucks narrative dating back to when McVay wanted to dump him, he's actually really good. Check all the metrics, they tell the real story. Good enough to overcome how bad the Lions' DEF has been? Well jury is out on that. Now, I guess you're mentioning of 2 games vs Belichick, one of which was nearly 6 years ago, was apparently meaningless? Then why bring it up? Or, it DID mean something and you didn't like getting caught leaning on small, cherry picked sample sizes. You might be "in writing' or not, but the entire body of work outweighs cherry picking a few games and then ignoring the rest.
Ooo, I get to watch two Bears fans admit Love is that fuckin dude. Happy Birthday to me
Robert Mays said his wife was shocked at how sad he was this week.
Brett is a Texans fan, EJ just called him an honorary bears fan bc they were that bad until this year.
LOVE ERA!! 💯
been saying it the whole time: I can not handle it if jordan love is good. Please god I need the packers to not have another HoF QB
Just join us, u will feel better gopher. We got room for new Packer fans. You don't need to suffer. GO PACK GO!
Watching all of greenbays games i kept seeing the flashes of great things from jordan love, i was hopful he could keep imporving and hone it, hopfully he keeps it up. Im glad others are starting to finally see it. I wonder when the rest of the NFL is gonna start copying the 3 years of learning for their young QB instead of just throwing em in and hoping, i really think thats the difference.
Could see prospects like jj McCarthy this cycle get that treatment if he doesn’t play better against Bama.
The issues with Jalen hurts are 1: He’s hurt. 2 Be doesn’t trust the Offensive game plan. It is very clear that he doesn’t trust the basic routes and lack of run game for success. That has led Jalen to want to play outside of structure because that’s were he knows how to win with that. 3: the overall offense is very poorly schemed and called. The routes are basic, there is little to no true run game and there are far too many terrible predictable screens. The entire offense doesn’t work. And what makes it worse is even though everyone thought the OC Brian Johnson was leading the game plan, But it was actually Sirianni and all eagles fans know he can’t call games or lead the game plan cause the last time he did we went 2-5. This offense needs a new OC from outside the organization. I’m a Eagles Fan and this sucks cause Jalen now wants nothing else but a Ring and he won’t get one with change for this offense
I've been wondering about this but I haven't seen footage or heard anyone call this out. Brett _FINALLY_ has called out Kellen Moore & it took 75% of the season to go by before we got to hear One Guru say this most obvious thing.
Both offenses performed better without him. He's made Mike McCarthy *and Joe Lombardi* look better. He & Staley should be out of coaching after this season.
[Happy Evil CheeseCurd Squeaks]
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt Peirce wasn't getting the targets he should have been getting. Open so much, especially downfield, but Minshew wouldn't even let his route develop, he'd just take his quicker reads.
Watching those Packers games, I'm more impressed with LaFleur than Love. He's scheming up a storm.
ZT first game with Browning was bad because ZT abandoned the running game..in the MNF game, he kept the defense on its heels with runs and Mixon was doing enough where the Jags couldn’t pin their ears back and just pass rush on him
There is one player that will decide these playoffs. It will always be about him. #15inRed ❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛
kinda funny in retrospect that he got ignored lol
DAK HAS BEEN GRIPPING IT AND RIPPIN IT BUBBA
AJ Brown is like Deebo
Sure the 49ers were without Deebo and Williams, but don't forget the Vikes were without the leagues WR1 Jefferson, and their starting #2 Edge Rusher Marcus Davenport, and their starting LG Ezra Cleveland. No one has blown out the Vikes, even without Cousins, Jefferson et al.
imma hold on on dak till after teh eagles game
Lamar has to be considered because if he finishes the season healthy the AFC will run through baltimore
5:30
Brett good for you homie
Kudos
Tepper could do a lot worse than Brett for president of football operations IMO
The eagles are the same team as the 2022 vikings
More Purdy slander. He has the tied for the most 140+ QB rating games in a season since 1950 and still has 5 more games to go.
You are not alone in your reversal of Mike McCarthy being the play caller for the Cowboys. I am a Cowboys fan and based on McCarthy's game management skills I was so against the idea of that dude being the offensive play caller. I also admit that I was wrong. The Cowboys offense has been extremely strong since he's been calling and their early season Red zone issues seem to have become much less concerning. I did see quite a few problems earlier in the season especially with their Red zone performance against the Arizona Cardinals but it's gotten better and better as the season has progressed and even looked good against better teams such as the Eagles and the Seahawks. Unfortunately it didn't work against the 49ers but then again few team's offenses work against the 49ers.
Didn’t he almost lose to the Seahawks because of him
@@nashjac12 just talking about his offensive play calling. His game management skills are still amongst the worst in the NFL. I wish some assistant coach would take that over and leave him to just do the offense but it never works that way.
@@bookaufman9643 _BAM!_ You're Dead-On. McCarthy seems to be a good whiteboard coach. but crappy decision-maker. *Really* crappy.
LFG
It hurts to see your pain cause the Packers got another one.
Go Pack Go
Is Deebo what Percy Harvin could have been
Percy Harvin was no where close to Deebo's physicality
Idk, Deebo has another 20-30lbs on Harvin, but I used to seriously love watching Harvin in the return game. That dude was a talented menace, just wished there was more to him than returning in the NFL
Deebo himself is criminally underrated.
was this podcast talking about how little talent the Colts roster had last year and during the offseason? or is my memory trash? Now they've got talent some talent around Gardner? which is it?
It's a bit like the Texans under Stroud: how different are they _really?_ Two receivers, one D-linesman & everyone credits Demeco Ryans with being a great coach? Nah. It's obviously better talent at key spots. The same coaching & other players with Davis Mills doesn't win games.
Even these gurus here often seek the One Answer over looking at the bigger picture.
Must have been a different show, we had some pretty high expectations for Indy this year
Did these guys say that Dak has been beating good teams? Really?
It's crazy to me that the country is a few months or year at most away from a total collapse and people are just chillin watching RUclips and pretending that NFL football is actually important. 95% of the country is about to get blind sided
Josh Allen is coming for all you haters!!!
Maybe. The problem is Sean McDermott. He lost that Eagles game All By Himself obviously calling the defense in OT, changing absolutely everything & taking all the heat off of Hurts. You fans need to realize how *_HUGE_* of a mistake it was just keeping him, let alone let Daboll go.
McDermott makes decisions (like going to a different time zone only two days in advance so that they were half-asleep & couldn't play well _OR_ even not get injured?) & he sat & watched Dorsey call consistently bad plays that everyone, even I could identify as bad for over a year & did nothing. The NFL has many inept coaches.
But it's hard to find one other than Staley who is up to his level of doing less with way, way more than anyone else has.
@@choosecarefully408 One: be careful with your tone. Don't ever tell a depressed Bills fan what they need to do or how to feel.
Two: a lot of "simpleton" Mafia members are still stuck being so happy that McDermott got us out of the drought that he can do no wrong. Us informed diehards know all-too-well his problems (both macro and micro).🦬
Colts are "hanging on for dear life "? Lmao keep hating Losers colts control there own destiny. 2nd in sacks , solid Run game with JT and Moss , 2 recivers had over 100 yds last week do some homework for gods sake . 🙄
They went to overtime against a four win Titans team and scored seven points against the Patriots for the first 51 minutes of the game. They control their destiny, yes, but let's be honest about it at least lol
🤭
@BootlegFootball oh do you mean the same Titans that beat the Bangles 27-3 earlier in the season ? And how about when the bangles lost to the steelers ? yeah let's be honest 🤣.
@BootlegFootball also the patriots game is the only game this season the colts didn't score 20 points or more 🤣
