FWIW We Get 5 December Games This Season

Recommended Posts

@ Saints (we'll win in their house to do them the deed back)

Vikings (we'll win because no Dalvin Cook, December game at home)

Packers (we'll win this, December game in our house)

Bucs (we'll win, December at home)

@ Atlanta (we'll win this because first ever game in their new stadium, December game, we'll win this)

Alright, so we can already pencil in 9 wins ... our 4 current wins with what will be an undefeated December 5-0

We have the perfect week for a Bye which is Week 11 and then Week 12, the last November game (Nov 26th) we get the Jets in New Jersey. (looking at our road record and it being the Jets I'll say we will come out of the Bye week and win in NJ. Now we're at 10 wins

Now let's get recent. We're currently on a mini Bye week. We'll come out of it the afternoon of October 22nd against the Bears in Chicago. Our next four games before the Bye (@ Chicago, @ Tampa, Falcons, Dolphins) we'll probably go 3-1

We'll probably be 13-3 or 12-4 at worst this year, and in a catastrophic type event, 11-5 .. so, while this loss stings for fugs sake let's keep it sane.

BTW - the decision not to put a dent in the confidence of Graham Gano by not attempting a 58 yarder he'd of missed was the right decision. Put your kicker in position to succeed. Yeah 58 isn't unreasonable but it's still a shot. A missed FG believe it or not is momentum to the other team. At that point there was no reason. Let him kick a 58 yarder to win it, not kick one to win it with a prior miss from deep. 

Would you guys have wanted Graham to attempt a 58 yarder to win it if he'd already missed one from 58 before the half ? It's about confidence and streaks for kickers

No games are ever slam dunks, but I think we can at least count on Chicago, Miami, New York, and Tampa Bay at home going our way. That puts us at 8. I also think we have an awesome chance against Tampa away, and Minnesota. The real test will be if we are able to snag one or two wins from Green Bay, Both Atlanta games, New Orleans. I can honestly see us finishing at 12-4, 13-3 if we play lights out

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
