Nothing like KB in 2015.  This is a team that is still finding itself and the offense.  There are a few plays Davis makes CMC might not, but quite a few more CMC breaks off I think.  Davis is an excellent 2nd back to have, but CMC is more than just a RB.

One player does not decide a win or a loss. The NFL the ultimate team sport and we are absolutely a better team with CMC in the lineup. Like I said in the other thread, we are also 2-0 without Okung but I don’t want to see Little starting the rest of the season. Davis is playing great and now we have two very good options at RB and can get even more creative with both of them on the field at the same time when CMC returns.

Whole team starting to gel is more likely the reason. Huge turnover of players and staff combined with the weird offseason paired with the unfortunate training camp sitiation and the first game might as well been a presason one. We are starting to gel and see what we have when CMC comes back we will be deadly on O.

Lol no defense is adjusting and accounting for Davis, he does not provide mismatch opportunities and games 3-4 probably going to look different than 1-2...cmc is a 1k/1k player...

i mean it’s just a basic understanding of football for even the most casual fan, it’s not the same, how is this not understood

    • I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
