Icecube Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 That's what Baker said, and he said he was "fired up" for this game, but apparently not for the last 3. Why the f--k not? So, can we only hope for Baker being fired up for 25% of his games? Why wasn't he fired up for the other 3? I'm not OK with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Christ, Even Cinderella's Stage Coach had till midnight.... Ever heard of To Soon ...tell ya what, post a link with Baker saying "not fired up last 3 games" & we will make you Mary Kay's assistant for a week... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 You can't play on the same emotional plain week in and week out. Even if you could it's no substitute for preparation. Plainly a lack of preparation was the single biggest factor in Week 1 and it's been less of a factor in each succeeding week. Going into a game knowing you, and your team, are prepared makes it a lot easier to get up for the game. It can even make you dangerous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillmotion Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I care about how we play now, i don't worry about how we did the week before. Baker looked like himself today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major factor for both Baker and Nick IMO. Go back and watch that OL work for Chubbs' 88 yd TD run. A ballet of big guys on that run. Here they are at practice last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkid3 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 So many things go into why we won. You really gotta make a post about him being fired up this game and not the other ones? Smh enjoy the win man. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 15 hours ago, ATOM said: am i happy the way Baker played today As we should be, but... ... the one concern that's nagging me is that when Baker double clutched his throws were "not good"... and I think I'm being kind. I don't have the data, but I distinctly saw him not resetting anything other than his arm position when he drew it back... and he barely reset his arm. Everything else... hips, feet, shoulders... seemed to stay as they were. And even worse so it seemed did his eyes and head. That's a bad combo that advertises where you want to go while weakening the strength and accuracy of the throw that goes "there". gumby... if you can note this as you do your weekly all-22, I'd appreciate it.

You will never hear Tom Brady say something anything close to this...well, what's he know? Only 9 Super Bowl appearances and 6 SB wins. The fact we have to worry about BM being "up" for games is a major concern. If he was "up for" TN and LA would they be 4-0 right now?

I could not disagree more... Tom and Baker? Apples and handgrenades... The only meaningful issue surrounding Tom's demeanor and its impact upon his success is that he is true to it.

Bake would hit Andrews & Marquise Brown by selling the back shoulder throw with a full pump fake & than burn'em deep.. Goes back even to Baker/Dede Westbrook at homa.. now what you explained above?..I saw it too & that ain't it..hope to not see it again.. also agree, he's got to get better moving his eyes..that nameless guy at KC is crazy good at it..

Unsympathetic Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 This is a job, and Baker has been playing this sport for many years. Did he just say these words because he thought that's what fans wanted to hear.. or did he actually do something different? I would like to hear more about specifically what was different before having any more reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st 3 games showed him that he/they had to do more than just show up to roll teams; it takes focus and alacrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think the biggest difference was in the play calling, and not giving up on the run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Great playcalling.. one trick play didn’t work early on but the beautiful Jarvis OBJ option made up for it. Getting Hubbard back made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
