At least before both teams had the same playoff. It is an "excuse" but playing 10 days earlier and riding the high from that win definitely puts the non BYE team in a better situation than the BYE team who's been sitting waiting to play for a month

Yes of course, but with both teams laid off they both weren't the same teams as they were in the regular season and who knows which team was more affected, ... so (further) bastardized. Okay I'm done; the horse is bastardized, I mean, dead I'm afraid. 8D:horse:

I guess it depends on what you’re wanting. What we lose in terms of development (which isn’t that steep of drop off, something like A+ to B+), we gain in experience with coordination and play calling abilities. Brian is still raw in this latter areas.

Just sayin': I'll say we want....
1.a. Recruiting (i.e. first you have to get the player to develop)
1.b. Development
2. A good fit that works well with Day, the OC, and other coaches.
3. Coordination and play calling.

Also there are some pretty damning shots/videos of guys wide open and Sayin just not letting it go and trusting his eyes.

Sayin getting sacked right away on a play where 2 guys just ran past the blockers essentially unimpeded was the worst thing that coulda happened, after seeing that I'm sure that was in his head and significant effected everything.

It's not a Physicality issue with the OL like the DFBIA would be screaming....it's a skill and athleticism issue, they are plenty physical but any kind of athleticism just killed them with stunts and speed rushes.....Cryami and Indiana made it look like our guys were playing in quicksand

LDE 92 Curry, Caden SR 14 Atkinson, Beau RS JR/TR 52 Mickens, Joshua RS SO
NT 98 McDonald, Kayden JR 53 Smith Jr., Will RS SO 94 Moore, Jason RS SO 90 Mensah, Eric RS FR
DT 95 Malone Jr., Tywone RS SR/TR 96 Houston, Eddrick SO 91 Carter, Jarquez FR 55 Kirks, Dominic RS FR 88 Odom, Trajen FR

The weak 1st half, which I think was layoff-induced compared to Miami's layoff, was bad. But far and away the biggest problem that I think lost this game, and the last game, was offensive tempo. If you're up 2 TDs it's great to chew up 8 minutes in the 3Q and snap the ball with 2 seconds on the clock. They had another drive where they gained under 10 yards and still managed to eat up 4 minutes.

This issue was masked earlier in the year because teams could not move the ball, so it was slow strangulation and a 30-7 result. But when you face teams who can get a few first downs each possession and drain clock, you are putting a premium on every drive. If you don't execute perfectly, you are going to be in a coin-flip game.

With inferior talent, shortening the game is fine. With two top half of the 1st round receivers and superior overall talent, and the reality of the running clock, you need more tempo these drives to give yourself more opportunities and to overcome the inevitable mistakes college kids will make.

The slow tempo stuff works great most of the year against the clearly over powered teams on the schedule but not in title fights line against Indiana and Miami

Having god awful special teams you can't rely on the slow play against better teams. You can drive down the field and gut 7 minutes off the clock, that's great.....until the offense stalls and your super unreliable kicker misses leaving you with nothing and in a even deeper hole.

Re: Cortez Hankton is an upgrade over Brian Hartline.

Just sayin': A likely home run hire YES; but, even though I seriously hope he is, I doubt that he is an upgrade over Hartline.

This was easily Patricia's worst called game of the year. We constantly were getting beat by quick short routes too yet they still kept playing soft cushion coverage most of the game

That our DB's technique on those is pretty bad they were standing 10 yards back but bailing at the snap and turning their hips inside.
