I think our Oline played well considering the shambles it is in.

 

They opened holes for DWill and NO FALSE START PENALTIES!

 

When is the last time the Line had no false starts?

 

They had 1 penalty for a holding I believe...but not too bad.

O-Line was solid for what they had to work with..... D-Line was lights out..... if we had a clear issue it was our weak secondary. Josh Thomas burned on two straight plays..... Every time our D-Line put pressure on Wilson he found an open receiver. I hope this is something we address next draft early.

I really think Scott has earned a starting job...I've never seen him mess up on a play yet. Sure he had that holding call, but I don't know if I'd even put that on him...that was a weird protection call. They had him pull all the way across the line to block the rusher coming off the opposite edge (I think the announcer called it a "Molly" protection or something?) which is asking a lot of a man his size. It's not his fault he lacked the speed to get there in time, so he had to compensate by holding the defender which was only for a split second anyways...it didn't seem blatant to me by any means.

Now that G-Will is bound to miss some time, I think that paves the way for Amini back at LG and hopefully Scott at RG. Then I actually feel pretty good about our OG depth with Wharton and Byers...never thought I'd say that...

Two starting guards out and they still kept Newton mostly upright and gave Williams room to run.

 

The one caveat to that: Dorsey and Shula are pretty clearly coaching their QBs to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible.  Wise decision behind a banged up OL, but minimizes my OL praise a little.

Line still did what they are asked to do.

 

We should be able to push the ball down field on quick passes....look at Cruz last night for example.

 

Some of that would take anticipation and trust...which may not be there yet with the WRs

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
