It's early I agree. Isn't this post about statistical rankings early in the season?

Yep. Actually watching the first half showed me we kept Bijan in check. He had a couple long runs to bring their average up but they weren't converting early when they tried running. We brought in Ransom in the Big Dime package and he was huge against the rung with Moehrig. Our LBs actually played decent for a change as well. DB kept their OL busy for the most part as well. Evero did a good job Sunday.

Moore plays the X, HR is slot. Not sure about Tremayne.

I remember Sherman was literally made up things other players said to piss himself off and get him mentally ready to play. Pretty wild….

Lol you don’t think he wanted out of Carolina? I’m sure he gladly jumped on that jet out of here.

I like how they aren’t rushing Dart out. Maybe they will out in Winston and keep Dart on the sidelines.

This is exactly what happened. He was 1-5 here struggling and Sam got healthy so we were benching him for Sam with Walker as the backup and he requested to be released which he did.

We didn’t trade him. We released him midseason. He was unhappy he was getting benched and asked to be released which we did. Wanted a fresh start and a chance to start. He immediately got it with the Rams.

I said Bryce’s was nothing new. The other ones are definitely weird.

It’s a weird year so far with teams playing Big Dime. Bryce is 5.4 YPA (yeah nothing new), Burrow was 5.3, Baker and Nic are 5.5, Hurts is 5.6. Then you have Danny Dimes leading the league at 9.3. I imagine some of these will correct back to normal once the season progresses.

Would you trade Bryce for him tomorrow straight up?

Caleb would have drowned here like Baker, Sam, and Bryce (so far).

I think he has had 3 game winning drives in there 3 wins. Pretty impressive, but I agree with the whole settling the score thing. He asked Wilks to release him once he was benched for Darnold and Wilks did him a favor and did it. There is no grudge to be had there.

55 pass attempts? He wants to see Bryce attempt passes there should have been plenty of looks from 55 pass attempts in one game. I’m not saying they were good or bad just plenty of attempts.

Look man you are going to have a hard time convincing me that a team missing 2 WRs and 2 OL needed to step back and air it out against a team that has been playing very well rushing the passer after getting a strong lead. That is just bad football in my eyes. He aired it out all day last week. There will be plenty of tape for us to look at.

It’s week 3 and any team would be playing to win. Bryce be damned we have to start developing a winning culture. Losing a week 3 divisional game because you wanted to evaluate your QB is a good way to get fired. There are other players and coaches in this team that want to win. Also another way to evaluate Bryce is to see how he performs in games that matter. In order to have these games you need wins.

You play to win. Dropping back and passing over and over against a team whose strength is pass rush isn’t a good idea. We needed to get our running game back in sync. Hopefully we accomplished that today. I mean we also had 24 pass attempts abd 30 rush attempts in a game we won by 30. That’s pretty balanced all things considered. Honestly I think you just wanted TMac to get a lot of passes which I can understand.

You could say the same thing about us the first 2 weeks. That’s just part of the game.

Again we gifted them a FG with a dropped punt and they returned the gift with a missed FG. The FGs were also from 49 and 55 yards out. This is all part of the game. Also we have been struggling with our running game so far this season. That and keep in mind ATL’s strength is their pass rush so of course we are going to run it more if we are able to. Our game plan was good and worked out fine.

He missed some passes he should have made. Definitely rushed some throws due to the blitzes. He didn’t turn it over or lose the game for us, but he also wasn’t the reason we won. I’d give Bryce a wash for the game. Played within the gameplan and had some nice drives with a couple meh ones.

We beat them handily. As bad as we have been it’s worth celebrating. It’s just because we didn’t air it out and throw a bunch of TD passes making it look less dominate. We stuck to our gameplan though and it seemed to work. It doesn’t mean we are that much better than them I get that. I mean the Browns beat GB. However today, during our first home game, we were the better team while missing our RG, C, DT, Edge, and WR2. Yeah our passing offense needs some work but hopefully these new weapons in TMac, Brycen, and HR get worked in better as the season progresses.

Scott didn’t start?

I remember seeing Penix struggle in the playoffs in college because he was constantly pressured and not playing a PAC12 defense. If you can keep pressure on him he becomes pretty bad.

We gifted them one of those FGs with a dropped punt so I wouldn’t give the Falcons much credit for the first one. We also kept Penix from getting comfortable. Evero was dialing up some blitzes and it worked.

Hard to hate on the HC after a dominate win. We were coaching circles around ATL even after the muffed punt opportunity. Bryce didn’t do much but he didn’t have to so I call it a wash for him. No turnovers is an improvement I suppose.
