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.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • 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.
