I wonder if value buying a double rack for the Palace Courtyard will be a noble endeavor as well. That's up to you. Double racks don't kill people, Freaks kill people. Canadians kill Geese.

(For me there is no Game of Thrones. One Throne. No games.)

It's the Canadian version. Like bacon. |

The failure is yours.......being so quick to judgement. Why, because you have flipped around and said NOW its internal to the team. Ok. I think the offense stayed right with the defense last year. They got their yards and points and did everything they could to keep the defense off of the field. Rivers Gordon and company played very well.
12 -4 takes a whole team, eh. Failed again. But keep em coming.
Internal ? No idea what you mean. The OL group is not very talented, yep, that would be internal to the Bolts' team.  ? I don't know what you are talking about...... 12-4.....you love that record, and obviously still behind on the conversation.....we are talking PO's son, not regular season. Do you have any doubt that the Bolts make the PO's, probably not. So start focusing on how will they win games in the PO's with that crappy OL group. That will be the weakness in the PO's.

I figured a bunch would focus on the 'less than' aspect......but you had least understood what I meant by it. I think TT has improved the talent levels each year, and with better talent in the depth, I see improved ST's play. That makes me believe the weakness on the roster will be found in the OL group, once again. Is that weakness so large that the team will not win games, nope, there should be plenty of wins. Winning in the regular season is no longer the big concern (yes I know you have to win those games), rather winning in the PO's is now the focus. The top teams will try to exploit that weakness, and how well the OL counters those attempts will play a large part in how far the Bolts will go in any PO's. Health in the starters is imperative, as the talent drop to reserve players is pretty challenging. I think your prose was chosen specifically to incite Freak. A noble endeavor, carry on. I mostly agree. I think our playoff success is going to be largely determined by how our blockers match up against the opposite front. Henry and Green figure to be a big upgrade over Green and Gates at TE which will certainly help. Nah......I want Freak to stay around and post his thoughts. Now getting him a bit riled up where his thoughts are more scrambled than the normal freak, that can be fun. I think any PO success will come from going into the PO's relatively healthy across the board, but especially the OL.

I think any PO success will come from going into the PO's relatively healthy across the board, but especially the OL. That would be ideal but circumstances are impossible to predict. All I know is a team without an advantage over our Oline will have nothing to exploit. Whether that's because the Charger line is unexpectedly good or the opposite front is mediocre/injured I can't say. |

Play 16 games, fight for the division, now fly all the way to Baltimore, play, now fly all the way home, now fly all the way to NE and play the SB champs........................by NE they were tired. No excuses at all. But its a factor the staff can try to manage a little bit. Typically SD/LA and Seattle have the most travel miles each year. Did you know that stat ?

I've been reading all these posts blaming the OL for losing in the playoffs. In this case, playoffs means Patriots since they won at Baltimore. So I'm wondering if everyone forgot that the defense gave up 35 points in the first half? The Bolts didn't lose that game because the OL, it a piss poor defense that lost that game.
When you think about being behind by 4 TD's at the half, I think the deficit took away the running game to a large extent and let the Patriots come after Rivers like it was third and a mile on every play. Considering all that, I think the OL did much better than you guys are giving them credit for.
I really think the OL will be fine this year (barring a plethora of injuries). Tevi and Feeney have a full year's experience to lean on now. It looks like Lamp will be ready to contribute and possibly even Pipkins could step up. Even if it's the same five I think they'll be better.

I don't buy the belief that the Bolts' singular weakness is their OL, it is just the glaring weakness. After the OL, any perspective weakness' are diminished by the simple fact the depth players are almost as talented as the starting players, making exploitation not an easy task. TE and DT are two that might concern me.....

No excuses at all. But its a factor the staff can try to manage a little bit. Typically SD/LA and Seattle have the most travel miles each year. Did you know that stat ? I do not buy the travel excuse at all, and yes, you are presenting it as an excuse. Every team travels, and it is interesting that LA/Seattle have the most miles traveled. Makes me wonder what the gap is between 'most travel miles and least travel miles'...... Not too certain how the staff can manage that travel any better, as I am certain that at the NFL level, any and all aspects are top shelf. If you are meaning managing the 'exhaustion' aspect, I would simply ask who are you putting into the game at OT....either side, OC, OG....you get the point. While the depth is there on the D, it isn't there on the OL. Are you pulling Rivers? Throwing poor Taylor to the dogs...... and just when are you making these substitutions.....middle 4th qtr (which would have virtually no effect in the 'rest' aspect)or are you just giving them the entire game off ? Answers.....we need answers.

The Okung injury, even if not serious, underscores how important it will be for TT to find some solid vet talent for OL before the regular season.

I just do not see these posts blaming the OL for the loss at NE. I have seen posts that blamed the injuries to the defence coming into that game, the poor game plans (both offence and defence). I do see posts that are looking forward, and noting the OL as a weakness. In NE, the Bolts simply rolled into town beat up (both physically and mentally), and that probably was the biggest factor. NE is very good, and they kept their foot on the neck until death occurred. Hope the Bolts learned a lesson there. Tevi is reserve talent that is starting, that is a problem. Feeney is entering the year we should see him playing at the top of his ceiling, hoping it is more than what we saw last year. Lamp is an unknown in my view, and Pipkins is a project with a ton of positives, but still a big jump for him. The OL could be good enough, but they are still the big weakness on this roster build.
