It actually might be a blessing for us.The problem with the Cardinals is they start to believe their own hype and then someone like the Panthers comes along and punches us in the mounth. That was an impressive show you put on yesterday. My hat is off to you, you kicked our asses.

Don't worry you guys will still get to the playoffs and perhaps the Superbowl.

This is why I keep telling people to not pay so much attention to records and stats, especially early in the season. Hell, the Panthers jumped a whole bunch of spots in rushing offense in one week. That stuff means next to nothing until about week 14 or so, and even then you usually have some losing teams that start playing better football late in the season and teams that started out on fire that tail off late. It happens every single year.

Like Fox says "stats are for losers". Does anybody really believe we have the best pass D in the NFL...and the Redskins are #2?

Well to be fair, the Redskins do have a very good defense all the way around. It's their offense that sucks. A lot of this stuff depends on who you play and when you play them too though. Plus, you have a lot of hidden yardage in lopsided games, like all those passing yards Warner had in garbage time last night. They still go on the stat sheet, but those yards meant nothing as far as the outcome of the game and they came against a prevent defense.

you cant argue with the fact we have fewest passing yards allowed

True but for much of the season teams didn't need to throw it they were gashing us so bad with the run. Also other than yesterday we haven't played with a lead much where teams are forced to throw it. Combine the two and you wind up overrated. The worst thing that can happen is for our secondary to start thinking it has arrived.

I agree stats aren't "everything".....but if you are at the bottom of the stat pile all season, come week 14 you can pretty much bet you aren't making the playoffs. I know it can happen, but it's very, very highly unlikely.

Probably the best test in the NFL next week. If we can somehow possibly, maybe slow them down we have a chance. The way to do that is to keep the ball out of their hands with the running game. Our first drive against the Cards and our last drive against Tampa Bay come to mind.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
