You only trust jimmy to throw short last week and it worked to keep the ball and sustain drives. This week, we play the QB who's having the best season of any player and you pull out a deeper drop and throwing the ball down the field into trouble. Jimmy hasn't shown he's capable of any throws down the field and our offensive line can't pass block on 7 step drops. Our coaches totally blew this game.
The creator of last week's masterpiece looked in the cupboard and it was bare. Mostert who started last week, didn't suit up, as he is still injured. So Wilson came in and set the place on fire. He looked just like mostert. But he got injured also. That leaves Hasty ...and McKinnon. Hasty had a great few snaps last week, and looked super. As the #1 RB, and wiht suddenly no OL run blocking, nor Pass blocking, he became very pedestrian....ie ordinary. So to give him a blow McK comes in. And he just flat out cannot run the ball. He's a pass catching RB. He is NOT a runner. Maybe before both of his injuries, but not now. And kyle using him to get some snaps, and give Hasty a blow....should have been only for catching passes. As a RB....he just doesn't have it any longer.
What happened to Coleman? I thot he was okay to play. Any news on that front.?
Then we have the sighting of Pettis returning a KO that could have gone into the EZ, and coming out gets nailed at what ? 10 yd line and proceeds to fumble? TD SEA a few short plays later.
Kittle got hurt. Kwon IS hurt. Jimmy is hurt. Mostert hurt, Wilson hurt. Richburg out and hurt. Both Ss are hurt and out. Both DE starters are out, Bosa for season. And on it goes.
And that is what happened to last week's creator. His butcher bill at the hospital is way more than he or we can afford. Yet it keeps on growing.
Just a thot, but this is not like it isn't self induced. Look around the league and there are more injuries right now that at any time ever in NFL. And one thing keeps cropping up...a shortened PS with OTAs barely , limited practice, TC abbreviated, no PS, and what happens? Half the damn league is on I.R., but worse here than anywhere. It is not a curse, it very likely very much due to the foolish league having to play this season rather than allowing each and every team to warm up, practice and ease into things.
What the NFL did? To me is criminal. I didn't call it at the time but did wonder about a shortened camp. And due to that, i believe, , injuries have been at an all time high. I really wonder what the league officials are saying about injuries and the shortened pre season? Truly i wonder if they realize what they are responsible for?
