What's most impressive about today's win...

We pretty much knew the defense was gonna ball, so I have to go with the o-line. Even though Cam got banged up a bit, which isn't entirely on the Hog Mollies, these guys played an awesome game. Not sure about the final tally, but the rb's got at least 160 yards, when the Cards weren't blitzing 7-8 guys Cam had time to throw. If this unit can go into GB or Seattle and continue to play like they have been playing, we have a huge chance of pulling an upset. Only thing that really worries me is our special teams, where anymore miscues by Bersin could be costly. 

 

On a side note, just wanted to thank Ted Ginn for being stupid enough to run the ball out 9 yards deep...

It's tough for me. We knew defense would dominate, but that was on another level of dominate. Then again, to see our oline play like a damn good oline is so refreshing. And Jstew has more than proven that if he can stay healthy, he's a very dangerous RB and can be our guy next season with Fozzy changing pace. We picked the right time to catch fire. Can't wait for next week to get here.

Best thing to me about the game was we by far did not play our best football, not by a mile, we got our kinks and nerves out of our system.  Playoff win monkey is off our back, we got rid of our nerves, and we're still standing.  Flat out, throw out the record, we're not a team that people want to face right now, especially if Cam brings his A game.  Onward and upward!!!

I'm happy they recovered so soundly from early adversity. That hasn't usually been the case and to do it in the playoffs with all these young players. Future looks bright regardless of next weekend

Exactly my thought. They didn't quit/shut down or let it get in their heads.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
