Donald LaFell

A lot of teams hung around or got back into the games while we were up.

Is the Texans rushing defense bad?

I felt that way before week 1 but the defense has proven itself. We’ll need a lot of turnovers to lose. I feel like Darnold seems to stare down receivers when he’s on the move so I worry about that being a pick 6 or a tip 6

Panthers 63 Texans 0

I’ve never been that enamored with Reggie Wayne, just felt like he had it too easy.

You mean all purpose yards? Also surprised nobody has noticed Demarcus Ware on the list. I feel like he’s likely.

If this keeps up maybe we can chase the 2000s Ravens hehehe

I thought the pass protection would be worse. I was expecting a top 10 defense honestly but not a dominanting SB caliber defense. I’ll basically be looking over my shoulder the entire season. Just not used to the team winning and that feeling of being exposed keeps lurking. If we can get past the Texans then dropping one to the Cowboys won’t feel so bad but if we’ll can’t win this Thursday I’ll be back to feeling as uneasy as ever. I didn’t expect Darnold to be so accurate on the move. I thought we would win vs the Jets but Darnold would get sacked a ton, definitely thought we’d get outcoached vs the Saints. I was expecting their defense to be much tougher.

Only two games in, it still might have been.

I guess that’s the early season for yah. Nobody wants to say out loud that their predictions were wrong or commit to a new position since it’s too early for that as well.

Dang if I could afford 300 grand bets I wouldn’t be gambling much. Different strokes I guess.

I’m gonna relax and have high expectations.

Yeah that is pretty trippy.

The only reason they are tempering expectations is because they don’t want to be wrong. All of these articles just say a whole lot of nothing. Things turn on a dime in the NFL, but until they do just give him some credit lol. Even if he plays this well all season you couldn’t Rhule us out looking for a QB in the off-season.

His kickoffs are horrible, somebody call Rhys Lloyd

That’s not as crazy at least

Kay Adams doesn’t look bad either

Can’t believe it! Other than CMC taking snaps he didn’t need to in the 4th, I love the aggression.

I swear it feels like so many edge rushers are coming free against offenses. I feel like I’ve seen overloading and stunts before, but I’ve never seen teams just let rushers come free the way the Jets and Saints have. Am I crazy?

That season was similar start too, the defense feasted. Peppers vs Harrington was memorable.

My reaction at the time honestly seemed like it was fine. I’d want my DT showing that much urgency towards the ball carrier. I understand the penalty but helmets are going to make contact sometimes. I can’t see how a huge DT can dive towards a player and not have his head down. The NFL is in a very odd place right now lol. It’s really hard to codify rules of safety into something so chaotic and violent. The 2nd call on Darnold was pretty loose too. I’m not complaining because we’ll get our fair share of bad calls too in the end, but I’m not holding ill will towards Roach.

Is that near the toilet store?

I don’t think we have many aging players or expiring contracts next year do the window is opening vs closing. You can’t trade the future. its still worth shipping around for someone before the deadline. Especially a kicker.

So sad that actor passed, iconic performance and character.

I honestly felt about 60% negative about this game that I had to go with unbridled optimism.
