Everyone has to post a pessimistic or optimistic thread after these sort of games, so here's mine.

Our defense looked much better than expected. Dwan Edwards was solid and so far looks like he was the missing piece on that defensive line.

The special teams did a great job and they're our weakest unit. Besides the blocked punt, I thought they played way better than they have in recent games

Our best player was probably our worst player today. Which is kind of a good thing. I don't know what was wrong with him, but that wasn't Supercam. I was surprised when I got home to learn he had 300 yards.

Definitely don't panic yet. We already have a statement game next week, though. We need to start out at home with a win, especially over the Saints*. This team definitely wasn't as prepared as I thought, but I have confidence in Ron to get them fired up for next week.

I don't want to start a whole thread, but I just want to give credit to Tampa Bay. They are not the same team as last year (obviously) and played inspired football today. Looks like their coach will work out. The NFC South just might be in the running for toughest division this year.

In other news, at this rate we won't ever have to worry about Chud leaving for a head coaching job!

Tampa Bay is definitely improved, but so are we. I'm confident we'll beat them at home.

The NFC is definitely my choice for toughest division in football.

Shows what I know about football. I had the Falcons and Bucs both losing this week and on the flip side had the Panthers and Saints* being 1-0. The division will be tough this year. Either the Panthers or Saints* will right the ship next week but the odd man out will be 0-2. I am really hoping we get things on track next week.

You're crazy if you think Cam was our worst player. It's not easy to make anything happen when you have 5 guys in your face as soon as you get the ball. Oline played really terrible. Silatolu was probably the worst player of the game. But yes this is one game and there were a lot of positives. I think we will have a decent season. We may be a season or 2 away from being a great team, but we will be great soon and it is going to be awesome.

The Bucs play the Giants up in New York next week.. It's hard to see the defending champs go down 0-2.

The Falcons play the Broncos at home.. after seeing Manning lats night is nearly back to the Manning we all know, that's a loseable game for the Falcons.

And finally, if the Panthers beats the Saints* next week, we could be tied for 1st in our division next week.. let's not all jump off a bridge yet.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
