FWIW: Brady vs Burrow

[LuFins Dad]

Not looking good, Mik…

[Copper]

The Bengals offence is well rested for the second half.

[Mik]

Refs are finally starting to watch the Bucs safeties. They’ve missed two blatant PIs.

Evidently.

[Mik]

Coffin nails!!!!

[LuFins Dad]

That… Was impressive. I don’t think I have seen that many turnovers by one team in a row..

Congratulatons, Mik.

CBS: "Tampa Bay just could not stop the snowball of misfortune . . . The Bucs did have a 17-point lead, but it was not nearly enough and they just collapsed once the Bengals found their rhythm."

Jeaux is definitely a second half guy.

[Mik]

So many years where if the Bengals were down ten you could reliably go home. They weren't coming back. So glad to see the culture has changed.

Did Joe force 4 consecutive turnovers?

[Mik]

The memes are proliferating.

By his sheer radiant superpower...

Of course not. But he capitalized on them. Defense wins games.

Brady took his beating in his presser after the game . . . it was a sad sight, him having to come up with 15 different ways to say "we fucked up." Because that's of course all the press vultures wanted to hear.

[Mik]

Every other QB in the league goes through the same torture.

@Mik
Good to know.

But, you know, I have often wished players and coaches would talk more footballese to the public -- stuff about strategy or psychology or any sort of reasoning behind what they do. It seems like they mostly talk baby talk. "Four interceptions and two fumbles don't win football games" is kind of duh-speak.

I understand they can't be too forthcoming without giving away secrets, but there seems to be so much more to understanding the game than they give out.

[Jolly]

There is an absolute ton.

I lurk on a Saints board. One of the most read posters is a guy who has coached at the collegiate/NFL Europe/collegiate ranks, from go-fer to coordinator. He may be a so-so coach, but he knows football better than most.

The reason he's popular, is because he will occasionally break down the strengths and weaknesses of a player or a specific defense, pointing where errors were made or where a player does a good job.

Another guy that dies a good job on a more national level, without getting overly complicated, is Baldy's Breakdowns:

Thanks, Jolly.
