Hats off to the defense.

Just a really fun group to watch. 
 

Gruiger-Hill stepped up. Luvu is the man. Woods/Bell is looking like a nice combo. And we consistently made Carr’s day miserable with the pass rush. Hell even Henderson was a play away from having an acceptable performance. 
 

Just the group as a whole played with such passion, laid it on the line, and they made this a game. 
 

Offense…get your poo together. Just do something. Be slightly below average instead of historically bad so we can know what winning games feels like.

Mmm I wouldn’t go that far. They did have some good red zone stands. But we let Hill run all over us. You know it’s coming, how do you not game plan for it.

Caveat being maybe Shaq was the game plan for hill. 

They were worn out. Offense could sustain drives.

Our pass D and pass rush looks good, surprisingly. Burned a few times over the top, but given the CB injuries and our offense going 3 and out like 6 out of 8 drives or whatever, bound to happen.

The run D looks as suspect as ever. We don't have a true NT and the OLBs are light/not good run defenders, so maybe should've expected that. But through 2 weeks, the run D ranks 29th in EPA/play.

We've faced Atlanta who had the #3 rushing attack last season and have gotten even better.

Bijan ran for a 170 plus yards against Green Bay alone. 

Tyson Hill I don't care what anyone says is Cam-lite in those short yardage situations with his ability to pass and size when he gets moving. 

If we could sustain some drives and not allow teams to just pound on us for 4th quarters and actually put pressure on them to score some points, our defense and pash rush would look even better.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
