on a side note, Ryan Jensen the highest paid C in the league? He was an utter joke last night.

In jensens defense he played against one of the best guys in the lg, therefore he is suppose to allow sacks and look like a joke..

Lol this is how people defended stanley last year when he was getting killed by griffen.

 

[JoeyFlex5]

so its luck cause fitz is in inaccurate? And luck cause dupree player his assignment which landed him in a position that cause him to get an int?

Dupree failed his assignment lol. He was supposed to break off his rush to cover the TE and the TE was 5 yards deep by the time Dupree broke. He absolutely blew his assignment but a poor throw happened to land right where he wasn’t supposed to be

 

[JoeyFlex5]

This is the game to unleash orlando brown. He's tailor made for a guy like TJ Watt.

Week 1 was the game to unleash brown

 

[jboy19]

so becuase the qbs are inaccurate its luck?

To an extent it is. When the QB makes an inaccurate throw it still needs to be placed in a specific area where it can be picked off- which the defender doesn't have any control over. In other words, a defender gets an INT because the offense (usually the QB) put the ball in a place where the defender could intercept it. There is definitely a lot of skill involved in getting INTs, and Im not taking away from that at all. It's not 100% luck obviously, but if we're talking about racking up big numbers of INTs, obviously luck is a part of that.

Oh i see, luck is the reason why fitz is inaccurate.. gotcha

it doesnt make sense to me. No such thing. Just a way of taking away credit from someone or team. luck should be removed from the dictionary lol

No genius, luck is the reason bud Dupree was in the area. If you fucking fail your assignment and leave your man running free but you still notch a pick 6, you were lucky as shit to not have been exposed for a big gain, let alone force a turnover for points. That’s not a credit to bud Dupree, he should be thanking his lucky stars that TE wasn’t spotted because he would’ve been the direct reason for the bucs getting out of their own endzone, and that pick 6 coming off the board and potentially resulting in points for the bucs could and would have been the difference in a W or L

So no credit goes to the guy that got a pick 6 because it was all based on “
Luck”...

Luck and skill go into making a pick. Like one of the picks last night, where the ball was tipped and picked off by the Steelers. It involved skill to tip the pass, but it was also luck that it happened to fall in a place where a defender could get it.

Good coverage, or skill, will lead to picks. Making the catch is skill.

Being in the right place to catch a poorly thrown ball is luck. It all goes together.

Just seen the play and even though durpree guy ran right by him, durpree was smart enough to turn around and look to see if ball was thrown which lead to him getting an int. Most guys wouldve just ran to catch with up with their guy without even turning around, but just so happen durpree turned around and fitz threw the ball to idk who lol and got the int. Durpree read and reacted to fitz

Luck isnt involved into anything that got to do with skill. It takes skill to even consider looking back for a ball when its in the air, just ask our own cb hump.

Dupree got lucky that fitz didn’t find the man who torched him.

Wrong place, right time, that is luck. When you’re in position to pick off a pass because you fucked up and just happened to in the wrong place and the ball just happens to land there, that is luck. He didn’t bait the throw, he didn’t make a nice coverage play, it was “oh shit what’s that ball doing there?” And he grabs it despite his fuck up. Sure he was aware enough to find it, that’s what an nfl player should do, but he wasn’t aware enough to execute a rather simple assignment, but lucky him for fucking up and just coincidentally being where he was.

Nah dude, Dupree fucking up was all skill and on purpose because he knew Fitz was gonna make a mistake. Dupree for Pro Bowl 2018.

on a side note, Ryan Jensen the highest paid C in the league? He was an utter joke last night.

I for one am happy we didn't pay that much to keep him.

 

[rossihunter2]

so its luck cause fitz is in inaccurate? And luck cause dupree player his assignment which landed him in a position that cause him to get an int?

dupree was in the complete wrong position and played his assignment all wrong - of course that's luck

 

[rossihunter2]

I dont believe luck. Never did and never will. Qb making inaccruate throws which results in ints arent luck! Cbs catching tipped ints due to ball skills and timing isnt luck! Missed gaming winning fgs because the K’s suck isnt luck. Idk man, i just dont see it. Its like an excuse

that's utter rubbish - of course luck plays a huge role in almost any play - any time you get a receiver catching a deflected pass - that's luck

yes you give yourself a better chance on every play with execution and film study but sometimes the bounce of the ball or a slightly loose bit of turf or a player landing on another player or a messed up coverage that doesnt get exploited

of course luck exists and plays a huge role

I’d say luck plays a role in football more than any sport except hockey. It’s retarded the number of game results that can be traced back to tangled feet, a lucky bounce on a fumble, or a player being in the wrong place in the best way possible. Hell in week 1 Tony Jefferson was in no mans land doing god knows what when he got his pick, if he’s playing his assignment correctly that ball falls incomplete.

This isn’t the Justin Evans pick where he was far off the receiver to bait the throw and break on it, this was a guy completely blowing his assignment.

 

[DeVito52]

First of all, fuck all of you who said Fitz was throwing easy INTs right to the Steelers, one was tipped, one was under heavy pressure and he wasn’t able to throw it how he wanted, and Mike Evans literally said he ran the wrong route on the other INT.

He had like half a second to throw the whole game, that was ridiculous and if the Steelers blitz with that success against us we will lose. Their LBs aren’t good in coverage but they’re very good blitzers. Our Oline has to show up or the Steelers might run away with it.

What you say is mostly true, until they needed a game winning drive with plenty of time, at which point he threw 4 straight passes that his receiver had zero chance at but he was literally hitting defenders with the ball.

So durpree got lucky cause of fitz is less skilled? Nfl players should be aware? Our own cb isnt even aware when the ball is thrown lol.
