CAPE

How long since you have had rain? Hasn't been rainless everywhere in our region. Again, summer mode means convection which means hit or miss. I have had a little over 3" for the month here. If it goes dry for a couple weeks given we will be in October, no big deal for me. I can water the new grass, which is the only concern.

Still in Summer mode. We generally don't get widespread area-wide rains this time of year without some direct tropical influence. Hit or miss showers/storms still predominate. That will change pretty quickly going forward, although we could just go dry for a time.

Glad I got that unexpected storm Wed night that produced an inch. No rain Thurs or Friday, when it was actually a pretty high probability. Tonight doesn't look great, despite the forecast for a half to three quarters overnight. 0.12" so far today.

Getting some light rain here. Better stuff to the s/se. Hopefully some of the heavier showers will shift a bit NW over the next couple hours.

About two thirds of the way finished with seeding the white clover/grass mixture. Didn't get started until last weekend which is a bit late. I like to get new growth established before the leaves come down- which is already happening. A certain amount fall early, due to summer heat stress/dryness.

6z EPS has the latter scenario.

Yeah that didn't go over well-given how shitty the D has played he was the wrong messenger and at the wrong time.

A literal wall of HP. Good news is we will get some cooler/less humid air for at least a few days for the beginning of the month.

Good questions here about what exactly Orr is doing with the defensive calls. Obv some of it falls on the players but the DC has to put them in a position to succeed. They got destroyed in every way against Detroit. There was literally nothing positive to take away from that "effort".

Yeah I saw that. Ofc he isn't going to lay the blame completely on the DC, but the fact is ever since the former DC left to become the HC of the Seahawks, this defense has struggled mightily. They do have some key injuries right now but overall this is a talented group that has underachieved since Orr took over.

Looks like Invest 94L/Imelda will encounter strong Canadian HP building southward as it tries to gain latitude resulting in it getting shunted out to sea, based on latest ens mean runs. Question is exactly how far north the tropical moisture will get. Latest 7 day QPF from WPC-

0.95" Didn't think I would see much of anything here until tomorrow.

Getting hit pretty good with this line of storms moving through. Pouring.

Return of the stink bugs, day 1. These warm, humid late September days bring them out every time. Also coincides with the harvesting of the feed corn in the surrounding farm fields. They feed and breed in Summer months, so never see them.

See my post above. He is very good at moving in the pocket, buying time, extending the play, then hitting a receiver downfield, but there are limits. Got to feel the pressure and run or throw the ball away. On at least 3 of those sacks he could have run and gained yards.

Also Lamar needs to have a better feel for when to stop trying to buy time to find an open receiver downfield and just throw the ball away or run- several times last night he had a wide open lane to take off and gain significant yardage and ended up taking a sack. His mom will be yelling at him this morning about that.

They can still be a top team but there are things that need to change, and one of them is the rigid nature of the coach. The offense is fine and will get better if/when Ricard is back and Likely should be back against the Chiefs. Ofc Mitchell needs to play, but that goes back to my first point. The defense is just awful right now- partly injuries but they were bad before KVN and Madubuike got hurt. Probably wont happen, but I think Pagano should be promoted or have a bigger role in game planning. Looks like Henry might be on the edge of the aging RB cliff.

The Ravens OL is mediocre at best without Ricard, and who knows when he will back. Another one of those vague/mysterious injuries when Harbaugh is asked about his status.

Time to promote Pagano to DC. Lucky to have him back on the staff, and he has been successful as a DC and a HC. Hell fire Harbaugh and make Pagano the HC.

Hill is ineffective for whatever reason, but we have a dopey coach who wont play Mitchell....because Ali is so great at returning kicks

If he isn't I will find something more productive to do lol. Like pull weeds..

Come on dude. Henry has zero quickness- needs a pretty big seam to get going. Mitchell is smaller with bigtime quickness. Perfect for a an interior OL that struggles to open big holes, and can also run outside, and run pass patterns downfield, which Henry cannot do. Henry is a one dimensional bruiser- who now fumbles in critical moments of the game. That alone always puts a player in the Harbaugh doghouse. We shall see.

Henry has fumble-itus and has a slowwwww first step with an OL that sucks. Too bad we don't have a lighting quick back on the roster..

Two straight games where they didn't even sniff 100 yds rushing. Defense gave up 200. Lots of problems on both sides of the ball now. Harbaugh will fix it all though.
