Man, I'm so happy that Jameis is their starter now. It's everything I dreamed of when Brees retired. I have a feeling Hill may be starting by the time we play them again.

This. NOW.

I suggested in the gameday thread that we may as well carry 2 kickers on the gameday roster for the next two weeks and play Eberle, because Zane is gonna cost us a game. I didn't think there were any kickers in the league who couldn't kick it out of the endzone since they moved the kickoff up, but then I watched Zane today. I am 100% serious... those kickoffs are scary, and his actual kicking for points isn't any more reassuring than any of the guys who preceded him. We need to bring up Eberle or sign someone else ASAP.

Yes

NGL, as hard as I was on Teddy, seeing the offense with CMC in it and seeing it without him, it is totally different. We are not nearly as potent without him, obviously... so that definitely hurt Teddy... but, from what I've see of their highlights, the receivers are doing everything. Nothing has changed about the throws he's making, Denver's receivers are just doing a ton after the catch. It fits Teddy perfectly. It's not just one thing, but that system fits him perfectly. As this system and team fits Darnold much better than what he had in NY. That being said, I also think Darnold is working better in this system because he's taking the shots when they are there, whereas Teddy did not.

Yup, love him. The QBs aren't even looking his way, and he's already basically taking away an entire side of the field. And I love what Donte is doing too.

It's a tough gig. Neither guy is getting great blocking... almost every carry Chubba had today, the Saints were already in the backfield when he got the handoff. CMC generating the offense he is with this line is a testament to both his experience and his talent/skill. Chubba is a different style runner, and as a rookie, the line isn't allowing him to play to his strengths, at all.

Imagine if you will, the best defense in the NFL getting better.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic... not saying this is the same as 2015 (although I think this defense is better), but winning as we figure it out reminds me a lot of 2015. That first 2 or 3 games, I don't think anyone expected us to end up going to the Superbowl... but, because we won as we were figuring it out, we picked up momentum and developed confidence that carried over once we did and took us to 15-1. I see a lot of similarities with both teams, except this offense is far more complete than Cam having to do absolutely everything in '15. We have a lot of promise, but developing that confidence, even as we make mistakes and struggle is key to turning a good season into a great one.

Oh, I noticed, lol. The fact CMC got what he did today was amazing.

Brady: Chubba, you mind going in there with no blocking and getting tackled in the backfield a few plays?

Everybody not named me. So idgaf. Sorry, I want us to completely dominate and embarrass these assholes while causing as much Famagusta as possible, like they've been doing us for years. They need a dose of their own medicine, and a lot of it. I expected to win, and I'm happy to win, but I want to rub their fuging faces in it.

Yeah, I'm not a fan and didn't know about it until now... having linemen pulling on defensive backs and they have to take them on from the waist up? That sucks. But, it's offense-friendly, so it's par for the course.

Only thing that would be the perfect cherry on top here would be Chubba to break off a huge run to end the game.

Who said we were supposed to lose it?

LFG JAYCEE!!!! SHOULDVE BEEN NUMBER 2 ON THE DAY, BUT WHOS COUNTING!?!?!? I fuging LOVE THIS DEFENSE!!!!

I'm telling you, the Texans will run a kickoff back if Zane is kicking off Thursday. This is horrible.

I already posted, they may as well bite the bullet and carry 2 kickers the next 2 weeks until they can release Zane, because between the kickoffs and missed kicks, he's gonna cost us a game if we don't get someone else in here.

CMC having to break 3 tackles just to get to the LOS. Quality blocking.

Dammit Jaycee!!!! Almost his first pick!!!

Yeah, I think they got the ball at the 17 off of it.

Let's go Burrrrrrrrns!!!!

I think he put more air under it to force it to the upback because when he was kicking it as far as he could to the returner, our coverage was blowing it. But it all goes on Zane. The coverage unit isn't used to covering kickoffs for the last 2 years.

Shouldve never let Slye go, at this point. This dude is missing XPs and can't even kick it through the endzone on kickoffs. At this point, honestly, we may have to take up two roster spots with kickers for the next 2 weeks and elevate Eberle. Zane sucks ass.

Good poo CMC!!!! Now defense, lin your fuging ears back and go get Jameis! I wants Burns to get a fuging sack!!!
