San Diego. Probably Delhomme's last good game that reminded you of the guy he was in 03. 

Monday Night (or Thursday?) vs Buccaneers at home. I went to that game and it was incredible to see Stewart and Williams just completely destroy a defense like that. I think at that time Stew and DWill were top 5 RB talents on their own. Smitty had a great game too. 

That last second touchdown in SD was an unbelievable moment.

The SD game stuck out. Nationally, we weren't expected to do much that year, and the Chargers had some hype behind them. So Fox had his favorite scenario in place, being an over-looked and under-estimated road dog. Good game to watch.

No Steve Smith either.  That's after the team suspended him for his sucker punch on Ken Lucas.

i only started following football in 2017, so forgive my ignorance but if Delhomme wasn’t the same with his arm how did we still win 12 games? were we that dominant?

Delhomme was good the first half of the year. The second half of the year, you could start to see some cracks - the four-pick Raiders game, for example - but he was still good enough to win, and often win by a lot, because we had the best running game in team history + a great, great defense and the last great WR duo we've had (Smith and Moose).

If he wasn't hurt, and was playing at 2007 levels, we maybe win a Super Bowl with the 2008 roster. But by the playoff game his arm was just shot. I really think the 2008 team was the second-best we've ever had (behind 2015), though.

San Diego game for me. I was living there at the time and just remembered how cocky the fans and local broadcasters were during that game. So beating them in SD was so sweet for me. I went and bought the sports paper the next day and the cashier was disgusted when she scanned it for me.

 

I posted it again when the Panthers came back in 2012 to beat them again haha.

      Player-led approach

      By frankw · Posted

      On the surface given our struggles I get why people would initially hear this and be apprehensive. But we do need players being vocal and being confident and speaking up. That is what builds a culture. Especially when it involves young players getting opportunities which was not always a thing with past coaches. But the head coach still needs to assert authority and take ownership of his group and make smart decisions on gamedays. It's gonna be a long season so we might as well just let it play out and revisit this later.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      He can’t.  Not by NFL standards.  More than enough evidence at this stage to make that determination.  For even a chance at one Bryce has to get a perfect look and that’s not NFL football.   His weak arm gets nerfed too much when you get him off an ideal setup.  Bryce’s ball placement and accuracy are horrible downfield.  That applied at Bama.  Bama WRs just had room to adjust.  Bryce defenders just repeat this lie about his Bama deep ball.  NFL balls have to be well placed to dudes only NFL open.  Bryce leads the NFL is bad throw % since arriving.  His accuracy and balls are garbage vs his peers.  Countless plays for years where dudes are NFL open downfield and Bryce just lets the DB have just as good as a shot at it or takes the WR out of bounds.  It’s not a debate.  Dudes flat out open this year on repeat.  He can’t make the throws.  So the talk about not having speed is auto debunked and a distraction.  Open is open and Bryce has gotten the looks

      In 2021, Young only completed 10 passes of 20 yards or more, resulting in a 36.1% completion rate on such throws, according to AL.com. This was significantly less than other Alabama quarterbacks like Mac Jones in 2020 (29 completions, 58%) and Tua Tagovailoa in 2018 (24 completions, 57.1%).
