Most coaches preach discipline / reducing penalties / not beating yourselves. The big difference between Rivera and Rhule is that Rhule is building a roster at the moment. Rivera never managed that.

Neither could DeSean Jackson.

You're joking, right?

Thomas has to be able to make that block or he shouldn't be on the team.

Yes.

The Oline performed about how I expected them to. All of the hand wringers didn't seem to take into account that this O is designed to get the ball out quickly (partly by necessity).

I don't think that's fair on Elflein, that was a bogus flag. The defender gave up his back.

He needs to come down with those contested catches if he's going to fulfill his potential. They're featuring him somewhat in the offence so he's going to have every opportunity to shine.

I'm hoping it's coaching. Rhule has assembled a staff of teachers. This was, by far, the best game I've seen Thompson play for us. He actually looked like a good LB.

Don't make me list the great players Rivers played with in San Diego.

This has been a scary game for the rest of the NFC. Stafford just hit a cool 300 yards w. 3TDs and didn't even really break a sweat.

Even the great McVay has taken his foot off the gas.

Win two Super Bowls while putting up unreal numbers.

It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Very Good.

Yes, but the Seahawks won't win another one.

He left the Saints when he was 28 - theoretically he was entering the prime of his career.

Wilson ain't a HoFer. Rodgers didn't use him in the RedZone for some reason.

I tried so hard to draft Higbee and Kupp when I picked up Stafford in my Dynasty league. Sad times.

That's what playing with a HoF QB does for you.

Nah, it was a dumb trade for the Saints, but I gather the relationship had soured at that point over $$$.

He's caught 31TDs since he left New Orleans.

Why have they asked the AT&T girl to put on a jumper?!

I think Stafford's side piece just got outed on national tv!

Feels like Stafford was the final piece of the puzzle for the Rams. They have zero Draft capital for forever tho, so it has to be.

The issue IS on the inside. The Oline isn't blowing anyone off the ball. It's a finesse blocking scheme with finesse blockers. That's death in Goal-to-go situations unless you're able to pitch / toss it. As for Brady's playbook - he hasn't had those big targets. Darnold missed a throw to Marshall that should have been a TD. I don't know where Arnold was - I thought he was going to get targeted a lot in the RedZone.
