True. That's the stuff we gotta fine tune. The NFC West looks like a division of playoff teams. We have to beat out at least one of them to make the playoffs. Luckily, they have to beat up on each other. We can make it in, but we have to put teams away. We have not played a team yet that has their crap together. That's not taking away from our success, but it's just a fact. Looking at the schedule, I'm not sure that even happens until we play the Cardinals on Nov. 14. Watching the Cowboys and Vikings makes me believe they may not be a playoff caliber team. Still wondering about Philly and New England as well.  Cards are the first sure-fire playoff team on the schedule in my opinion. 

This team does not have it's crap together on offense and special teams either, and they still are winning convincingly.   Imagine what it will look like when they do get it together.

I totally agree. That's why I am saying we have some things to fine tune. Special teams was pretty horrible. Dude that blocked that field goal strolled on in, but like FreeFua pointed out, if Marshall doesn't slip then the play likely doesn't happen. 

Like I said, if we can play the whole game the way we play our first halves, sky is the limit. We are winning the games on our schedule, that's all you can ask. The scores have made it seem closer than it was. I say this with no hesitation: IF SAM DARNOLD DOES NOT THROW THAT INTERCEPTION, SAINTS DO NOT SCORE.

Sam Darnold looked really good yesterday particularly in the first half. If we can string together two of our first halves in a single game…..that’s a playoff team.

He’s got to get the idiotic plays out of his system. At a critical moment in the game he had a boneheaded turnover that allowed the Saints to cut the lead to 10 points. Our team responded well and bailed Sam out but we didn’t need that error.

That is almost a certainty.  The only points we've surrendered were due to our own blunders.

AGREED. They never should have been that close. It was total domination. I just wish the scoreboard would show that. We have to clean that up. Allowing teams to stick around has been our issue for years.

I mean, 26-7 is an ass-whooping in the NFL any way you slice it.  The crazy thing is we very easily could of had 40.  I thought the same thing after the first game.  They are leaving a lot of points out there.  When the offense puts it all together, to go with this defense.....ohhhh weeeeee mayne.  LOOK OUT!

Yeah, but it's not a, "We just held them to 128 yards." kinda score. Bills won like 35-0. That's the score that says, "We held Kamara to .6 yards per rush." Lol!

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
