By the numbers

Those numbers are nice but they dont show TDs and the reality is that this team is not scoring much more than last years team. This team needs to score more points.


Maybe someone has the game tape and can look at the drives into the red zone yesterday when we did not get points. I am not sure, but I would have to say that we scored three times yesterday which is not bad when TO's negated 3 of those drives. They seem to be putting up points, if we lose of course the answer is we don't score enough TD's. Last year we said 21 points is the key or the goal we score 21 points yesterday and now that is not enough. It's not that the offense can't put points on the board due to the playcalling, or playmakers, or red zone ineffeciency. Blocked FG's, and TO's are the biggest killers.
I've heard numerous things about yesterdays TO's, Brunell should have felt the pressure, he has soft hands. Last time I checked it is close proximity back for the QB and O line run people behind the QBS all game with little incident or near misses and the QB's have to hang in and make the plays when people are baring down on them (not his fault) negated a score possible TD. The one run was his fault and can be corrected. Rock fumble was in KC territory and driving that hurts with your TD stats, but the answer is not cut Rock. It happens it just did not go our way yesterday. The simple answer is just cut out the TO's, but that is how the game is played and sometimes the ball bounces out of our control. It would not have been an issue if the ball would have bounced up to a skin and ran for a TD, who knows why it bounced to KC perfectly to scoop it up. It is a game with many uncontrollable turns and no fault to the skins performance, because heaven knows if the int or the fumble would have bounced our way the outcome could have been totally different

You have to know that we are going to lose games, look at Philly. There was no way anyone would have believed that we would be where we are at. I think that if we are going to screw games up, I'd rather it be in the begginig of the season and not the end. There is no such thing as no turnovers. It sucks now, but it will pay off. We are putting up impressive numbers and we do have a long ball now. The one thing I have noticed is Sean Taylor. NOw I was raised a Uni. of Maimi fan, so when we picked up Taylor I about crapped myself with joy, because I know what he can do. I think frankly he is not talking enough shit to anyone. You watch that kick ass video of Taylor, he always had something to say to someone, now I did notice that alittle yesterday, and I don't see what he does all the time, but frankly, we need to be more aggressive and talk some shit. Not be over confident but. talk shit

Prior to yesterday's game the O had scored exactly 1 more point than the same time last year. For some reason this years O is considered to be rolling while last years was considered a dud. I think these yardage stats are misleading, this team needs to score more points.

Your Right Irish, We do need to put up points, stats look good. I still think our offense is stuttering abit, I mean c'mon Portis still with no Td's? Thats odd.

Our O is much better than last we just keep having those turnovers.

I agree to a certain extent. While points are unparallelled in their value, the way our offense is driving the ball, resting the defense and getting in position to score show huge strides in our ability to compete in the NFL. I know the old saying: close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades- but I think it also counts in a sixteen game season with a very good coaching staff. What I mean is I absolutly believe we will score more points/ per game as the season goes on and the turnovers will fade. Why? Because it is all we have to work on. Think about that. Last year we couldn't line up right, remember the snap count or complete passes to open recievers who are 10 yeards away. This year we can execute the offense which allows our coaching staff to focus on one or two problems. That is a much better position to be in than having to go over formations and snap counts.

Speaking of numbers, if we win next week, we'll be in pretty good company of teams that are 4-2.

Skins offense is up one spot this week ranked #7 in the league averaging 373.2 yards per game.

Defense holds at #5 giving up 280.4 per game.

Moss is leading the league in receiving yards with 631 through 5 games, that's 126.2 per game on pace for 2019!

Brunell is ranked #10 in passer rating with a rating of 91.5. He's on pace for 3968 yards, 29 TDs and 6 INTs.

Portis is 9th in the league in rushing with 443 yards. On pace for 1417.

Cooley has 23 catches for 251 yards, on pace for 73 catches for 803 yards.
yes sir, i was playing around with numbers after the game yesterday(i feel an urge to when we lose, when we were 3-0 i couldn't care less about numbers)

brunell's numbers are with that first game where he came in as relief but if you take brunell's past 4 games and average how he has played, multiply that by 15 games and then add the first game brunell's numbers come out like this
4458 yards, 34TDs 8 INTs
Moss is also on pase for 13 of those TDs.

We are a great team if you look at these numbers, we dominate games but the thing is we are like a genous kid, a really smart genous kid that does drugs and skrews up his own life just like we skrew up our own games. We are our own worst enemy and just like that kid we don't deserve to win/suceed, we have the talent but we are STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!

But if we were smoking that "smart" weed, it wouldn't have happened!!
