Yep, the call was fine. It was a fluke play.

Just happened at the worst possible moment, if that happens in the first quarter no one cares

And? It's still a fluke play. It happens sometimes. Happens to every team during the course of a session.

This is last year’s team.

And defense. It’s great until it is not. So it’s not great. It makes great plays. And then it gives up the worst plays. Equals an average defense when it counts. In the clutch.

Yeah just about any NFL defense holds teams to 10, 19, and 15 points in the first 3 games. That's dead solid average NFL defense. And since the last two games didn't happen, this is exactly the same team as last year.

that one simple adjustment had kubiak cooked

Fangio has been around long enough to remember how they stopped the Shanahan/Kubiak offense back in the 80s and 90s. Now Kubiak has to adjust.

I was agreeing with you, just trying to add to what you were saying.

Ah, all good then.

I get it. We’re all, well most of us anyway, are on the same team here. I can’t be mad at the D for them losing on 2-3 plays out of whatever the total was. Offense disappeared but I believe they’ll bounce back with a week of practice. Gonna have to, Atlanta next week.

The most disappointing thing is that I thought our Oline had turned a corner. The leader of the Oline goes out and the whole line sucked after that.

Just goes to show how important leadership is. Especially along the line. I do think Kubiak could've handled it a bit better, running right was never working, running left worked all the time. Small sample size sure, I expect that to be corrected. Biggest thing though is protecting Carr. This offense if going nowhere is Carr gets pressured every play.

Us against Them (New Orleans/Philadelphia)

Everything that has been bad about this team for the last two years, repeated today.

You absolutely have to have a plan for not having Taysom in the game and I knew it would kill us today.

Maybe, perhaps, Taysom ask for a BIG raise!!!

 

[Merleaux]

Idk where you saw people picking eagles to win. Everything I saw had us winning. All the talking heads, everybody on this board. Everybody on the eagles board. I knew it was bad juju. I made a comment yesterday about it.

Exactly. Even the Eagles fans said we were going to beat them.

 

[Pkessling]

They did their job. The long play to get Philly in position was absolutely a fluke. With the party in the league, you're gonna win some and lose some of those. Just how it is. I'm not remotely worried yet.

No it wasn’t a fluke. They were playing man vice zone.

Like I said earlier, to each their own. I thought it was a fluke play. You can think what you want.
