Levi doubters...

I agree but if you watched the game thread this past weekend, you'd swear we were far worse off than last year or with JD or anybody over the last 4-5 years.

In game threads are not for the faint of heart. I always thought it would be cool if people had to use a breathalyzer before posting. Then you could look at blood alcohol levels with each message. It would give great context to the in game outbursts.
I traveled with the team once for an away game and was sad to see how many players read the game thread on their way home.

Man, he looked bad. His kicks were not even close! In particular the one he pulled and hooked left after the first miss that went right. Wow.

Kickoffs were outstanding.

This was funny as hell yet disturbing at the same time....

Reading the game thread as a player is definitely not advisable. It can give you feedback, but you have to have very thick skin and look at the criticism objectively. Most people who criticize don’t see the whole picture. One bad play by a LB could make a FS look out of position and get the blame for something that wasn’t his fault. Or a bad throw by LL could be because a WR ran the wrong route or read man when it was zone. All of those things that film breakdown and coaches identify are what matters.

This current team is pretty good. Even with our limitations we have a chance at a great season. Quit turning the ball over, hit on 60% of the deep balls and we will be really hard to beat.

I only read the game thread for comic relief. Talk about emotional swings, it's like everyone on there is pregnant.

LOL. So true. It's a roller coaster for sure. I tend to LOL the day after the game when reading the whole thing.

Finally (after 17 years) a good GameDay, GameTime, GamePlay, BetweenPlay emotional reference to go by.

Especially when most of the guys giving their 2 cents have had ample beverages all day.

And it gets very amusing with the ones that try to give a nickel.

EXACTLY! His vision, his reads. And that happened more than once the last two weeks.

The only really concerning thing i saw this week was that on the deep interception, he had an underneath receiver in his direct line of vision who was 20 yards downfield and completely uncovered.

This is an excellent idea.

Everyone should preface their post with amount of beverages they’ve had. Kinda like on Dan Patrick, when the callers give their height and weight.

Agree on how often players look at the board. It’s why I try to not name people individually. It’s one thing to critique a position, it’s another thing to post a kid’s name in a subject line and rip him.
