This fanbase jumps the gun like no other lol. I said awhile back i will reserve judgement till will actually play a good QB. Seen this reality check happen to many times before. But yes right now they do look good and to me thats because of the improvement in the secondary.

By the way, this was pretty much last years minnesota game except we won. That shows me we are a better team, esp on defense

I too had a lot of flashbacks to the Minnesota game on Sunday...

Big difference was that our D did not let up.  They dominated for 4 quarters.  I don't think I can recall a game in 2016 that they did that, and perhaps not many in 2015 either.  (We had some big let ups where we nearly gave up BIG leads...)

Perhaps one of the helpful things is that in spite of the Offense's failure to put points on the board, they WERE moving the ball / eating up the clock on at least 5 or 6 of their drives.  So the defense was given good chunks of time to rest.  Not a lot of 3 & outs (2 I think) and NO turnovers by offense.   Those facts meant the D stayed fresh.

Where's the turnovers?

 

We had 2, really should have been 3 vs. 49ers....  Scored 14 points off of the 2 turnovers in that game.  Not too shabby.

Instead of turnovers, we're racking up the 4th down stops... almost as good as a turnover.  Helped us have some good field position!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
