This offense is a bunch of very solid guys with no real elite playmakers without CMac. 

Like this is a great game overall by Brady and no one's made any real mistakes (besides some drops) 

We just don't have any real play makers. 

That 1st play would like a word with you on the mistakes part......

 

But yeah that game was pretty good on terms of what they needed to do go win. Keep the D off the field and methodically move the ball. Something we have called for FOREVER!

The line has been terrible trying to keep the QB upright, but ok as run blocking. Add it Ricci balling as a old school FB, and the three headed RB group looked pretty good.  Abdullah is a little more CMC as a receiver but we have 2 ok rushers anyways.

But wait... I'm sure @LinvilleGorgewill be by soon, to eat his crow.

Darnold wasn't very good. He just wasn't disastrously terrible and that allowed the D to secure the W. This is the way we have to play this year. We have to actively deemphasized the passing game. 

You're playing yourself wanting to spike the football over this.

It's okay.  Exhalation accomplished.

If "playing myself" is being a supporter of the team, rather than an outright hater, then so be it.  I haven't lived this long being negative.

 

I don't mind getting crap. Cuz it matters not. I just enjoy football, and usually talking about it.

 

There's still a bunch of us who are not ready to jump off that cliff. Thankfully, there are still folks to chat with.

Any time Sam does not throw an INT in a game, I'd call him "very good" for him.

That's where I've arrived at with him at this point. 

Sure he didn't toss a TD (even though he should've been credited with one with DJ) but no INTs is always a good thing.

Oh and no Turnovers aka Fumbles either so that's good as well.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
