Erickson has actually done pretty well today.

Should kick the fg. Ok, just trying to draw them offsides. FG is good, two score lead.

Needed 6 and we didn't throw it 25 yards down the field. I am shocked.

Defense getting gassed.

Wow, Zach Wilson looked like Russel Wilson on that play. Did nothing for him, but he does have some elusiveness.

Jalen Hurts looking solid for the Eagles today.

Trevor Lawrence getting a rough introduction to the NFL today, so far anyway. Less than one half of football, and two interceptions. And down 20-7 to the Texans.

Sam Darnold leading the team in rushing touchdowns.

Now that was a great play by Darnold, hung in till the last second and make a solid throw to CMC.

Good job drafting him Marty H. (ducks under table to avoid thrown objects)

Good job holding onto the punt reception.

Coverage sack? There is a term we haven't heard much over the last couple of seasons.

Almost as bad as our decision to punt from the 35.

Their defensive line is solid. But dropped passes/bad passes, exection, and coaching mistakes are killing us.

I love CMC but he is generally not one to push the pile. And no push on the offensive line. We would have better off with a sneak or a fg attempt. Fortunately, the defense bailed us out and we are back in the red zone. Maybe we get three this time.

When it comes to short yardage (third or fourth down), our decision making and execution is very bad and has been for several years.

Well, good coverage by Chinn, but we were kind of lucky. Nice play by Smith, receiver should have had it.

Meh, best case scenario, he adds 10 more yards. Bad decision on the coaches part. Just not much benefit in punting from the 34 yardline.

No trust in the kicker I guess.

way to early over reaction. They are using CMC to much.

So do I, but if it happens (a big if), it might take a while to show some results. I think the defense (assuming it stays healthy) could look much better in Nov than it does early in the season.

IMO, the only question that will be answered today is if we will start the season with a win. Any other more significant questions won't be answered for a while.

What does that have to do with Brady? Brady is one of the best ever. If that is our expectation for Sam D, then I think there is a good chance he will fail to meet our expectations. Brady is so good at getting the ball out fast and accurate, he makes offensive lines look better than they might otherwise look. I ready that his average is 2.5 seconds. That is not to say he hasn't had good offensive lines, he has. But I don't think they were quite as great as some make them out to be. The reality is that a good qb makes a offensive line look better, and vice versa.

Even if the OPI penalty is called, I still think Brady gets them in fg range. Might be a longer field goal, but still makeable.

Entertaining and high scoring are two different things. A tough hard fought low scoring game can be more entertaining than a 49-35 shootout.
