Looks like them Pope blessings are doing what they intended to do

Will Harris was full practice today. More good news.

Championship?

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

McGovern and Patrick need to be re-signed asap

I would absolutely resign them both, then draft a LT and kick Fuaga to LG (if push came to shove) Depth and talent would end up taking a big jump at that point.

Don’t eat the cheese! A fine sampling is required before committing to indulging! This news literally brought me forth from my mausoleum! LOL! There is HOPE!

 

[St. Geezy]

McGovern and Patrick need to be re-signed asap

Yep. Great depth pieces moving forward, and Patrick may be more than a nice stop gap at LG if we aren’t in position to get a substantial upgrade there.

In all seriousness, McCoy getting hurt began the downward spiral.

Really have to agree! But the DA slide started at the end of last year throwing his team under the bus

This can't be said enough

Bout to find out in the next few weeks of the starting center going out was the true reason the offense imploded

 

[SoggyBottomBoy]

Great news. Just make sure he's sound. We learned the very hard way how important he is.

They were talking about the Steelers today on the radio, they also had nine different OL starters as we did. Definitely different results.

Erik McCoy since Dennis Allen got fired

That is what a real coach can do. That is what Sean Payton did here as well.

It was the beginning of the end of everything bad this season. If he had not gotten hurt despite all of the other injuries, we still would have won that Philly game and the Falcons game that's my personal feeling. When McCoy went down it was like a chain reaction and then Kubiak couldn't even run his offensive game plans. Also having young QB's while Carr was out would have helped immensely.

Here is where the word correlation is gonna come up for the 2nd time in the thread.

I have the suspicion that if McCoy doesn’t go down Carr doesn’t get hurt in KC. McCoy is the lynchpin for the offensive line he calls the protections and really is the second most important part (any center really) of the offense. There is a huge drop off from him to his backup just as there was between Carr and Rattler.

There is also a very impressive gambling stat that shows teams that loose their starting center almost never cover, for what that is worth.

He isn’t going to fix the fact that we have no one to throw passes to. He isn’t going to fix the defense, but what he will do is give Carr more time to decide which worse option is the best option. Maybe, our TE’s will get more involved with a little more time to get open.

Either way getting him back is going to be huge whether that is this week or next it can’t come soon enough.

McCoy: “I don’t know, bro. I was down for the count, and then, I heard a voice and saw a flash of light, and that voice said ‘rise!!!’ and I did!
I swears to you.”
