Did it Ever occur to anyone that all of tht short passing

JAKK777 : 10/20/2014 6:05 pm
exposes the receiver to horrific hits and ball strips?

This why in todays NFL they are writing the rules to pass deeper

Plus you get the pass interference calls on the long passes.


We have proved we cannot sustain long drives

Particularly because Eli insists on changing everything
at the LOS and someone then inevitably jumps off sides
if you feel

that way, you must want Gilbride back.

He's the vertical guy.

I'm going to be patient and see how the offense is next year.give them time to master and get a couple more pieces that fit that offense.if there's no improvement next year then yeah, I'll ask "what the hell is going on out there" lol
Works pretty good

in Denver. I don't think ive seen Peyton throw a ball over twenty yards in four years. Not that Eli is Peyton by any means.

needs guys who can run after the catch.
THe percentages of completing those longer pass plays  
Simms11 : 10/20/2014 8:32 pm : link
are not very good and also are more susceptible to turnovers. This offense is good, but they need to take a few more shots downfield to keep defenses honest. I can't remember oine play yesterday where they went deep?!

You should check out the 40 yard td pass, on the money to Thomas in the 3rd quarter?
Not exactly a bunch....

...that should be trusted to lead covered bridge tours.
Has anyone consider that JAKK  
Rocky Thompson : 10/20/2014 8:53 pm : link

Is an Eric dupe and he's fucking with us?

That would be funny...
Tough to throw deep

when a 300 pound D tackle is sitting on your chest
I dont get how  
AnishPatel : 10/20/2014 9:25 pm : link
a 6'7 guy can't hold onto the ball. Freaking Gilbride Jr. should rel that all this week when they practice again.
whoever he is  
HomerJones45 : 10/20/2014 9:29 pm : link
This JAKK guy keeps challenging BBI wisdom to see if he's right.

He's on the right side of the percentages.
Well .... call me foolish for saying so ...  
Mike in Raleigh : 10/20/2014 9:46 pm : link
but I believe the WCO (West Coast O) was SPECIFICALLY designed to negate or neutralize .the dominant blitzing / all-out-blitzing Ds (a la C'85 Bears) that came about in the early and mid-80's ... Now .. the defenses have basically been "immasculated" ... and so it would make sense to now have a "grind-it-out" running attack mixed in with "down-field" passing attack.

Who knew???? ;)
althgough ....  
Mike in Raleigh : 10/20/2014 9:49 pm : link
Green Bay proves ... if run correctly (and having a stellar QB - Rodgers) ... the WCO is STILL a VERY EFFECTIVE offense ... regardless of rules "immasculating" the D !!!! ;)
Yes ...  
Mike in Raleigh : 10/20/2014 9:49 pm : link
Yes ... no offense is effective if the OL is a sieve !!!! :)

You've been on a roll with your comments and you just registered on BBI this month. Coincidence? Doubt it. What's your proof Eli audibles every play at the line of scrimmage?

Also, for all of you doubting Eli's ability to operate in this offense consider 1) his stats this year compared to this time last year; and 2) re-watching Super Bowl 46 where he was 30 for 40 for only 296 yards of short to medium passes mixed in with the bomb to Manningham.
