Under Rivera, we've traditionally been a slow starting team that did better in the latter part of the year.

We didn't necessarily start slow this season, but I'd be happy to see the trend of our best performances coming late continue.

Hopefully the team can emulate the nearly complete performance they put together last week. Only issue was the OL performance. But that seemed to be an anomaly compared to the rest of the season

Hate to say it, but I don't see us improving.  It normally takes half a season to get the team playing like it is now.  This year is different because they started out that way.

Besides, how do you really improve on 9-0? :)

We didnt have the slow start at least in part due to more continuity and depth. We added pieces but had solid vets at most of the key positions. In the past it always seemed we had new guys on 1year contracts, rookies, and UDFAs who end up starting. It took time to build chemistry and teach folks our highly accountable defense. And we had a crap line and a dearth of WRs not named Benjamin or Smith.

This years defense reminds me of 2005. Both teams had tough physical players who imposed their will on the offense.

People might argue that this year we still had "a dearth of wide receivers not named Benjamin or Smith".

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
