Postmortem: Sea v TB - Throwback Edition

Terms of plays Milroe ran in preseason, they weren't going to show anything he was going to be running during the season. You aren't giving that away. I think you are making way too much as that being some sort of practice for the regular season. They are running those plays in practice, not preseason games.

If Milroe's value is in some sort of magic trick you have to avoid people seeing in preseason to work, it was a
turrible idea to start with. The fact is, since he's been on the Seahawks, we haven't seen but maybe one scramble
during preseason. The guy's not really a runner. True runners just end up doing it on a whim when the opportuinity
presents. Most of us are old enough to remember rookie Russell Wilson demanding with his play the starting QB
position for the Seahawks, against all odds. Russ ran all over the place during his preseason chances. It wasn't a plan,
it was who he was. Milroe is more like Seneca Wallace, who constantly received wishful thinking that he was going
to do something positive with his legs "because he's so athletic", but in a pinch all he did is run backward out of
bounds. Slow ass Hasselbeck was the better scrambler of the two.

If they insist on having Milroe on the active roster for a game, he should be playing special teams. Let him prove
his grit and willingness. Right now I see a scared kid who is going to fuck up and cost you. Why push that?

MM claimed before the final preseason game that they had created a package of plays for Milroe to run during the regular season. If in fact that was even true they aren't going to display them in the preseason, they just aren't. Whether it was true or not, or the plays were good or not, the point of the thing is making it more difficult for the other team to prepare for them. Sorry but for all the things we debate here i don't see the argument about that. Having Milroe start that game had nothing to do with anything other than the experience of starting a NFL game. Pre-season is totally vanilla. At most its an opportunity to evaluate players on the bubble. Teams are not displaying developments in their offenses they plan to use during the regular season. I think teams, if they had the ability would do away with preseason games all together. I think they would find scrimmaging more valuable. Sorry, but i don't think there is much I hold in lower regard than preseason NFL games, they are pretty much worthless far as I am concerned. Mostly just a way for the league to squeeze more money out of their season ticket holders

Mahomes accused of throwing his teammates under the bus, but he is right. The talent is so even on NFL teams, its often not talent that decides a game, its mistakes

“We have the guys and we’ve executed at certain points in games and looked really good, but we crush ourselves with penalties and mistakes," Mahomes added. "We’ve done that to ourselves all season long. It’s been one guy here or there. In this league, it’s so close that those [moments] change games."
