It's hard to know what to think at the moment. This is the "easy" part of the schedule but we have looked dominant defensively.

I don't think I see anyone left on the schedule that I really fear. That was something I wasn't expecting.

I'm with you, I think these kids can hang with any team I've seen play so far this season.

I think the biggest key will be remaining healthy. Being down two starting DB's hurts a lot. CMC was obviously a loss but I think the identity of this team is on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully Bouye can step up and fill in well for Horn. Glad we signed him.

Fantastic news. Sounds like it's just inflamed. I'm thinking that will probably keep him off IR and they'll see how he looks in a couple weeks. Maybe wishful thinking but I wonder if the extra rest from being a thursday night game keeps open the possibility he could return in week 5. I anticipate they'll be extra cautious cause you want McCaffrey good for the long haul but you have to wonder if our offense looks abysmal against the Cowboys, there might be some pressure to bring him back as soon as he feels up for it. Also disclaimer: this is not coming from any area of expertise as I don't know anything about sports medicine; just purely hopeful fan speculation.

very encouraging news as we all feared the worst. 

 

Indeed it is encouraging news, but idk about everyone "fearing the worst".  Maybe I'm totally off, but when he jogged off the field and then they showed him walking back to the locker room later, (which they showed extensively) he didn't even have any sort of limp at all.  No change to his gait from what I could see.

Anyhow, great news!

I said it in an early post, but I’m pretty sure they just sat him after the first sign of any injury.

The injury may be very minor but he’s taken out of the game to prevent worse injury.

maybe the reason he was walking with his head down was more that he was disappointed that he was taken out of the game?

Week 2 made me a believer in the D.  Losing Horn is rough but I think we find a way to still be a dominant unit.

Darnold's 2nd half this week showed me he and the offense may be further than I hoped... I didn't expect him to command a half like he did this early. Thought he'd need to be brought along slower.  Trying to temper my excitement since it's only 3 games but damn.

    • I'm suggesting that whether it's Mingo the receiver we just acquired from the Steelers the new rookie WR we are soon going to be drafting or whomever our QB still has to be able to get them the ball and particularly on deep passes. Or defenses will keep playing us exactly the same and we will be circling back to the same threads yelling at each other over why we think this or that receiver sucks.
    • I didn't say it was all on one player and only about winning and losing. But you also want your team to at least have something to build on from losses. Something positive to look back at and say hey we didn't win last week but we had a couple of decent drives to finish the game. Instead of getting your poo pushed in for 4 quarters by a team missing their starting QB. Why do you feel the need to pull our only MVP in franchise history into this? We aren't talking about Cam Newton. Different player different athlete different vibe different everything. That guy went to a Super Bowl with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR. Nobody is expecting Bryce Young to be Cam Newton. But we're certainly expecting him to be more of a leader than someone like Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater who let's be honest were both a couple of milquetoasts. Especially when you consider that Bryce's leadership ability was 1b to the 1a of his processing ability as the key selling points of selecting him first overall. And I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with you trying to draw a correlation between simply asking for our #1 pick to spend more time this offseason building a rapport with his receivers and people basically saying CJ Stroud has a low football IQ or poor leadership or low character because of his father or that he's a diva because he didn't attend Peyton Manning's QB camp or because he went to an event wearing one piece of jewelry around his neck instead of sitting at home doing nothing until draft night. Bryce Young has already been afforded the benefit of the doubt before and following the draft. Certainly moreso than CJ Stroud was. And that is a fact. He is now facing the biggest test of his life as an athlete. I sincerely hope he responds and brings an edge this season. But so far I haven't seen anything to indicate that since finishing with one of the worst rookie seasons of the last few decades he's done much to alter his approach to development that he has operated with since high school and college. Some other QB's who already have the necessary physical traits to overcome other lacking areas might be able to get by without doing that. But unfortunately Bryce Young is already an outlier among outliers. He does not have that built in physical advantage. If he is going to succeed he's really going to have to put in extra work. Yes that involves forms of leadership. That's all I ask. I keep telling you this and explaing it from different angles but you keep trying to circle back to trying to portray me as hating or unfairly placing expectations on him like he's a newborn child and that might work on a social media site speaking on his behalf but it isn't going to matter to any of the defenses he's going to be facing in 17 regular season games next year who already have the majority of a season worth of game tape on him. I feel like I've said all I can. I don't see it necessary to derail this thread any further.
