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!

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
