Funchess stepped up today.

Are we seeing a star emerging or just a good game? Funchess was running some GREAT routes absolutely breaking Butler's ankles all day. His only mishap was that one drop, but damn, coming back from injury and getting a CLUTCH 1st down was huge. Hats off to that man.

2 TD's and a couple of clutch plays. On this day, he was NOT a bum.

Meh, Ed Dickson looked like an all star, too, and our O-line looked good. I think its just because the patriots defense is so bad and not because Dickson or Funchess actually played any better than normal or are showing signs of improvement. However, it was nice to see Funchess look good even if it was because of the terrible defense and of course I'm a bit optimistic regardless that he can have these types of performances against better defenses in the future.

Nothing in your post says that you're a bit optimistic haha

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
