Don't be concerned about the last two games

What has happened the last few weeks has been fairly obvious: the defense is getting gassed from being on the field for so long due to quick offensive strikes. This allows offenses designed around big plays to have way too much time to throw. Also, the refs are working overtime to fug us over. We can't control the latter, but we have shown that, even as gassed as our pass rush or secondary has been, we are still making big plays at big moments and overcoming them both. Once we get Charles Johnson back against Dallas, we'll be able to rest our defensive ends more and that will greatly help us keep up. 

We're 8-0; don't fall into the narrative. It was never going to be easy to beat Green Bay and Indianapolis. We withstood late-period onslaughts with a gassed defense and played past the refs.

We won the ToP by 4+ minutes...if the D is really getting gassed then they really need to work on some conditioning because these quick throw offenses do seem to be wearing them down in the 4Q....they dominate for 3Q's then just fall right off.

Neither side of the ball was good in the 4th. Green bay attacked Benwikere and Tillman all day. Offense couldn't stay on the field, run blocking was just terrible.

Dude if we sucked that bad we would have lost.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
