Jake is back, Defense...not so much.

Jake threw for 308 yds (some in garbage time, but who cares), 1TD, 1int. but lets put this into perspective. He is coming off of a 77yd 4int game. HUGE improvement. aside from 1 almost turnover and an int, great job by Delhomme.

now the defense.. aside from one pick, we sucked...big time. barely getting stops. we contained turner for 39 yards in the first half, but never contained the pass. i blame this scheme, and a lack of pass rush. We dont have the DT to rush the passer, and Peppers got bottled up most of the game. 0 sacks. I think Chris Harris might have been more effective than Teal, but it was more than his absence.

season outlook- after an 0-2 start, i still think we could make a run, IF the defense adjust some things. Louis Leonard going out hurts really bad. how many healthy DTs does that leave? The offense CAN and WILL score. we proved it today, but its a matter of getting stops, and staying ahead of the game. If the D plays like they did today in Dallas on MNF. kiss the season goodbye.

Yeah back to crap. He was terrible in the 1st half and by the grace of Jeebus nobody intercepted those ridiculous wild throws he made. Tryin' to pitch to the sideline!!! WTF was that?!?! I don't understand this defending of mediocrity when we've accomplished so much more with far less.

Jake was the least of the problems today.. the very least.

Special Teams were terrible for the second week in a row.. the Defense was bad. we couldn't get off the field on third down.

The O-Line, Jake, and the running game all played very well today. Jake's "game-losing interception" wasn't that bad either.. he had no open receiver so he tried to force it to Steve. it was 4th down so he HAD to make a play.. and since no one was open, he had to force it.

I'm not saying I want Jake to be our QB cuz he has been shitty, but today wasn't bad at all...

He threw a game-losing interception. He sure is back in full-force!

he threw a int at 4 and 10 through prevent defense. how many QBs can convert. had the defense got a few more stops, we wouldnt have even been in the position to have to go for it. Jake did alot for this team today, cant say the same for the defense.

The bar is set lower for Jake Delhomme than any other starting QB in the league. If he doesnt throw 4 INTs he had a good game. LOL.

WOW all that is pure ridiculousness.

Jake looked GREAT. Can't be mad about the INT. The coaches wanted to go for it, it was 4th and 10, the defense knows what's coming, and of course we're gonna look for Smitty. Jake spread the ball around, actively progressed through his reads and made some of his most accurate throws I have EVER saw him make.

I think I've already come to terms with the fact that we most likely won't be in the playoffs this year. ATL and NO are both 2-0 now. While I'm not overly impressed with ATL and feel we'll win that rematch @ home, 0-2 holes are hard to climb out of... Especially when you plug up one leak and 3 more spout off...

But, apparently this year, the offense and defense will take turns blowing the game for us.

Jake is not "back". Jake has always been here. The same inconsistant QB as always. He's up and down from game to game. Yes he played a decent game today, but if the Atlanta defenders didnt drop 2 easy INTs we would be singing a different tune. For a bright spot, at least his poor decision making improved some. Can he keep it up? I doubt it.

Im starting to think Fox is the one controlling the defense. We're still playing the same "bend but dont break" crap that kills us time and time again. Our secondary looks like a high school varsity squad. Our corners are still giving too much cushion. Godfrey and Teal are crap.

Special Teams are still terrible as always. The only reason Crossman still has a job is because Mark Jones saved his ass last season. Crossman needed to be gone years ago, but somehow still seems to hang on with us.

Fox's poor game management was in full speed today. You have 2 damn timeouts before the half, but you don't take one till two seconds left in the game. Then at the end of the game, he doesn't choose to kick a field goal that wouldve gotten us closer and wouldve given us more time on the clock after the defense gives us the ball back.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
