Joe Lombardi Discussion

[chargeroo]

Let Herbert call the plays. He’s smart enough

Seems like a funny idea but not too many years ago all the QB's called their own plays. Football has changed a lot in recent years.

Yep. I think Peyton was probably the last guy to do it on a regular basis. It was the absolute norm growing up.

Found a perfect team for Lombardi's offense:

...from nfl.com...
Next Gen stat of the game: On throws of 10 or more air yards Thursday, Russell Wilson was 2 of 14 passing for 88 yards and two interceptions.

Go Bolts!!!

true, and some of this was depending on execution all along - it is amazing how smart the run plays look when they go for 8 yards.

I hope we face a terrible run defense like Browns in playoffs because Joe cant close a game out.

There will be a lot of factors that come into play between now and then.

We will be playing more refined football.

I am frankly bewildered that seasoned football fans do not have a better feel for what is actually going on.

It's a race to see who amongst us can be the most hyperbolic in their negativity.

In a public forum there will always be differing opinions. But you are spot on about the hyperbole. People act like we won in spite of the coaching staff and give them no credit for what they have done right.

The seasoned football fans also see that the Chargers, Lions and Seahawks are the worst defenses in terms of points allowed. And bottom half in rush defense.

You're simply not going to have success long term with that.

I'm over the 4th down call. Ultimately it didn't hurt us, it's great for debate but honestly we have more pressing issues.

I suppose the true test will be going up against a better defense than the Brownies...
