Case Study On 'Serious Threat To Win The Super Bowl'

Improved Essays
1. The Cincinnati Bengals Are A Serious Threat To Win The Super Bowl Four games, four wins, one turnover for Andy Dalton. The Bengals have dominated through their first four games. Yesterday, Andy Dalton played another terrific game. He finished with 321 passing yards and one touchdown, but what really sticks out to me, is the fact that Dalton still has only turned the ball over once this season. This is the first time in his career that he hasn’t committed more than one turnover over a span of four games. Just from watching Dalton this year, I have seen a different type of guy. He looks poised, matured, and ready to lead this team to the promise land. On defense, the Bengals have been almost perfect. They have sacked the opposing teams …show more content…
The San Diego Chargers Hate Melvin Gordon I’m being serious! You spent a first round pick on the guy, and despite this, Danny Woodhead seems to always be in the crucial times of games. Yesterday, on during the game winning drive, who was in at running back? Not Gordon, but Woodhead. Gordon has been the better back this season. He’s averaging more yards per carry and is the only running back this season to have a rush of at least 20 yards in every game. Why do the Chargers continue to miss-use Gordon? Why do they insist on giving Woodhead touches when clearly, Gordon has been the more efficient player? It is truly a mystery. Yesterday, Gordon got a mere 12 carries, and was in on less than 55 percent of the team’s offensive snaps. I understand that Woodhead is the better receiving back, but what I don’t understand is why the Chargers don’t use more two running back sets. Gordon and Woodhead have been on the field together on less than 10 percent of the Chargers’ offensive plays this season. The only “reasonable” outcome I can think of is, the Chargers hate Melvin Gordon.

4. Ryan Tannehill Is The Jay Cutler Of This
…show more content…
This past offseason, Tannehill signed a 4 year $77 million contract, despite not really proving he deserved it. This did not please fans of the Dolphins and through the first four games their dissatisfaction has been justified. Tannehill has been downright awful. He’s thrown seven touchdowns and five interceptions. His completion percentage is a career low 56.7 percent, and he ranks last in the league in completion percentage of throws 30 or more yards. The Dolphins are 1-3, despite the fact that this was supposed to be the easy part of the teams’ schedule. Their next three games are against the Titans, Texans, and Patriots, all games I expect the Dolphins to lose. Tannehill came in with high expectations, and he has done anything but come close to meeting said

    With his ability to throw the ball downfield, accurate on his throws, calm in the pocket, and the ability to run with the ball when pressure comes or no wide receivers are open, no wonder why San Francisco paid him so much. In the last year of his 4 year rookie deal, Garoppolo who was still in New England at the time was asking for a big payday and a starting job. With Tom Brady planning to play for a few more years, after looking at how much he is getting paid, the Patriots did the right thing by trading him for a second round pick rather than let him walk in free agency and get nothing back for him.…

    2017 is an intriguing year for the Redskins for a multitude of reasons. Kirk Cousins now is in the midst of a long-term contract negotiation, his top two wide receivers left via free agency, the Redskins defense is coming off a historically bad season, the new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky along with the team’s new additions is having positive reviews so far this off-season, and the front office is fresh out of a messy divorce with their former general manager Scot McCloughan and made an in-house replacement with Doug Williams under a different title. All this to say, what happens in 2017 is of paramount importance, and can shape the near future of the organization. There are a few Redskins who are worth noting that will be a key cog in determining the outcome of not only the season, but how their future in the nation’s capital.…

    You cannot call the same play on the same down over and over and expect that to fool opposing defenses. if you never take a shot deep down field you are not keeping defenses honest. Even though the Cowboy's are without the NFL's best wideout, they cannot call plays like they are. Its causing multiple 3 and out's and exhausting a defense that would other wise be dominating the game. There are too many positives to give up on that Super Bowl dream we all hold near and dear to our hearts.…

    The Buccaneers haven’t exactly kept it a secret that they will spend a lot of time this season running a no-huddle, hurry-up offense. Second year quarterback Jameis Winston and the Bucs offense put together their best game of the preseason against the Cleveland Browns when Tampa ran out of the no-huddle every play the starters were on the field. Head coach Dirk Koetter surely couldn’t expect to use the hurry-up approach that much in a regular season game, could he? Winston and the offense have all said they would rather operate out of the no-huddle system.…
