Bradberry couldnt make a game saving tackle on gurley on that last rams drive. 

 

And how the hell is Short rated higher than CMC? Did Short, poe and McCoy even play yesterday?

Short was dominant on a drive in the first half

I'd have to check but I don't McCoy logged that many snaps.  Was expecting more.

I think I saw he had 35ish out of 77. Only time I remember his number being called is when he got an offsides penalty.

Lol at this take

Like, it's game grades not final play grades to win the game bc the team as a whole up until that point missed opportunities. Good god some of y'all are children

Also, Shaq (like Thomas Davis) apparently has figured it after a relatively slow start to his career bc he looked like the perfect modern day LB he was drafted to be yesterday. I remember lots of folks were down on TD and considered him average til we changed our Defense and started using him like Derrick Brooks a couple years into his career. 

Sometimes you need a contract year to get a few first round talents to play up to their potential. That's life.

We basically ran the same boring ass defense as last year so both McCoy and Burns didn't play much. 3-4 my ass.

How you watch and grade that game and give CMC an 83 is baffling.

What does he have to do?  Throw and catch a TD to himself doing backflips over defenders and step on their hands just to get the broken tackle stat?

I said it in the game thread but that TD where he ran over 2 guys, pounded his fist in the ground 2 times while stretching for the goal line and not letting his knees touch was some wizardry I still cant fully grasp.

I have been skeptical of Bradbury but he had a great game yesterday. No doubt.

Shaq was an fricking beast

Same here I used to dog him out. However he played stellar wish he'd have that 2nd pick tho

Y'all shouldn't take PFF as the absolute gospel but it does validate some things. Daryl Williams isn't elite but he holds up well for the most part and PFF likes him. My eyes saw Bradbury, Short, and Shaq all playing well but giving up plays due to being on the field too much. I feel good about this defense and our skill guys
