You know what's funny, we have the look of a NFL offense and some of you dumb fucks can't even see that. Throwing to open receivers like that is such a bad fucking thing. What a bunch of fucking morons some of us are
First off, you are crazy if you think Sanchez isn't taking this seriously just because of his comments after the game. He knows damn well he screwed up but just trying to get others to believe he's mentally passed those errors. Second, geno did not have players like Suh waiting to kill him. Geno was not backed five yards down the field because the oline couldn't hold up. He simply did not get pressured the same as Sanchez. Maybe next week he will and he better respond well since this forum is already overly in love with this guy. Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk 2
he only had one incompletion that was batted. Not sure what more he couldve done when they ran it when he was in 80% of the time.
But he isnt a rookie. this is his 5th year. he shouldnt be in a position where he has ?something to build off of". IF sanchez threw for 380 yards 5 touchdowns and 1 interception it should still be viewed at as a horrid game because of the type of interception he threw and the situation for what he threw it in. it just goes to show he hasnt improved his decision making and will continue to have back breaking turnover after back breaking turnover. saying he needs to cut down the turnovers glosses over the issue of why they happen. its not like favre trying to force it into small windows, these are horrible rookie/high school mistakes he makes over and over. he will NEVER cut down his turnovers if his decision making doesnt improve, which clearly it has not. thats not like a "oh i messed up, we'll get em next time play" thats an interception that should be avoided 100 times out of 100 by an nfl qb.
this is the problem though. this is the NFL. there is gonna be pressure sometimes. you need to just cut your losses sometimes instead of killing your teams chances of winning with brutal back breaking turnovers taking points off the board or putting them on the board for the other team. Its just a preseason game, but hypotheticall.... we were down 26-17 with 4 minutes to play on our own 43. without that piack six we'd be down 19-17 with a shot to get in position for a GW field goal. he can be fantastic, but if he is still turning it over inside the 20's, or turning it over on plays where he can take sacks/incompletions. the net result is a big negative
Did anyone hear Sanchez's comment during the in-game interview, when he said the D-lineman "jumped outta the gym" to make that pick? Haha wtf? And the comment about how "these things happen" was infuriating. Didn't Aaron Rodgers throw a total of, like, 6 INTs last year? So no, backbreaking INTs don't "just happen" when you're a good NFL Qb. Having said all that, the passing Offense looked a lot more spaced and had wide open WRs, which is something to be excited about. And I will give Sanchez credit for the TD drive because he looked pretty crisp and commanding throughout the drive, and he did a nice job tossing it in for the score.
im with you 100% on the idiots complaining that sanchez is hitting open guys. i mean, thats kind of the goal as a QB. You lost me with the "outside of the pick 6/near pick 6 he was flawless. thats just a really.... silly comment to make. thats like saying outside of giving up a grand slam in a game we lost by 4 or 5 runs, our pitcher played great! Pick 6's are enormous negative plays. especially as a first score in a game.
great start. but i dont want to read too much into 1 preseason game against the lions. good start though
we couldnt run the ball to save our lives. we scored just 17 points we turned it over twice, including a pick 6 we had 11 penalties, including 6 procedural i wouldnt call that a "good looking nfl offense" there were a couple nice drives sure, but if we get that every week we arent winning many games. im not overreacting cause after all its friggin preseason, but more responding to you saying we in any way looked good offensively.
Yeah, I know pick-6's are enormous negative plays, which is why I addressed it by saying he needs to fix that
He did. Ziggy is 6'5" with 38 inch arms, and had to jump to pluck that ball out of the air. It was a big time play by Ziggy, just as much as a crap play by Sanchez. Sanchez didnt hit him the numbers.....
he's needed to fix it for 4 years. and clearly he hasnt since he is still making the mistake. decision making isnt like accuracy, its not like you tweak your mechanics. its either solved or it isnt. and clearly it isnt. if it was fixed, you would see that ball in the dirt or thrown out of bounds. its an enormous red flag. that play, of ALL plays should absolutely never happen, since its his biggest decision making issue, throwing into lineman when plays are busted or he is pressured heavily. throw the ball away. also, its not all on him. Rex needs to get blasted for that play. why isnt rex putting mark in that situation 100 times a day in OTA's and practices drilling it into his head to throw away in any situation like that? horrible coaching, horrible qb play (with regards to that situation)
This is not "jumping out of the gym" or anything close to it. It was nowhere near the RB who didn't even turn around yet.
I agree that complaining about him hitting wide open receivers is silly, but I disagree that he played a flawless game outside the INT and near INT. He hit a few receivers in stride with very nice passes but was off target a lot and left a lot of yards/points on the field because of that. Those type of off target passes also have a tendency to get tipped up and turn into more INT's. Here's all of his passes from last night (sorry for the crappy screen shots). There are 2 more than the stat sheet because of 2 penalties. The throw is low and behind the receiver. Nice on target pass - hit him in stride. We already know about this ridiculous pass directly to the d-end. Sanchez, in true Sanchez fashion, talked about how good the d-end was in the post game interview. As if it were some superior athleticism that made it possible. The guy just doesn't get it. The pass is low and a little behind Hill here which causes him to have to go down to the ground to catch it. If he puts it in front of him at chest level like he's supposed to it's a long gain, possibly a TD. Nice on target pass in the flats.
The pass is low and causes Gates to have to go down for it. If he puts it in front of him at chest level like he's supposed to it's a long gain, possibly a TD. On target check down in the flats. Another screen pass high and off target that Winslow saved pick 6 for him on. He is a 5th year guy, you can't throw this bullshit. High and behind Kerley forcing him to slow down and extend to make the reception or it could have been a bigger gain. Very nice pass to Winslow here. Enough zip to get it by the DB.
Pass is low and behind the receiver instead of in front and at chest level. Pass is high and short causing RB to stop to catch it. Hits Kerley in stride for a big gain. Nice pass. Hey! Nice on target screen pass. Bronx Cheer. On target, hits receiver in stride.
http://www.ganggreennation.com/2013/8/10/4608164/my-quick-notes-on-preseason-game-1-detroit "Bad things happen when you are off target - yes, my friends, even the play on which Holmes was injured was off target, and forced adjustment that probably lead to the freak injury. In this play the ball was batted up as Powell tried to turn back and reach for it, and was just a few feet from being high enough for a pick 6. People might think this is nit-picking, but consistently being off target, especially on short throws not only kills any YAC, it also produces more INTs and injuries."
Dude, he plucks a ball nine feet out of the air. You dont expect a DE to do that. Also notice in the clip(thanks for posting it BTW,) Ferguson blows the block and the Receiver gets taken down. The only two options for sanchez should have been ground the ball at the FB, or throw it oob. He clearly blew the read.
dude, no way to defend blowing the read on the FB. But Brick is 6'6... Look where Ziggy is, snatching that ball. Piss poor decision by Sanchez, but that was a big time snatch. That ball should have been thrown into the ground behind Brick. Then he gets the holding call. If Brick doesnt blow rhe block, he probably gets the holding call. But its inexcusable to not see the FB,
