For once

It would be nice to dominate a game from the start and keep the pedal down for the entire game
We talk about chunk plays. Our chunk plays have to come on runs like Bensons today or yac, which are far and few in between.
We need to take more deep shots to keep defenses honest but we don’t.

we have no room to talk crap against Carolina, or see it as a trap game before 49ers in week 3. We always seem to crap the bed against the panthers

Especially, especially since they lit us up for 37 freaking points a few months ago. Wow!

But, one good thing about JG is that he seems to be restoring our homefield advantage.

This is a game we very much should win.

what does their pass rush look like?

cuz we have issues
Some of the OL issues can probably be traced to crowd noise in the Supedome. That noise can really affect OL play.

Playing at home should help the offense line significantly.

Have you seen us play Carolina over the years?
Yes they have thumped us. And if we win Sunday everyone will be saying that Carolina sucks butt and our win will mean almost nothing.

I think I am being misunderstood like I am saying we will beat Carolina easily. Of course not, I have lived this team we are never a sure win against anybody. But Carolina was horrible today and will probably be a bad team this year. No reason to pretend they are something they are not.

Ok. You just seemed to be taking a team that thumps us regularly, pretty lightly, so I was just wondering why it seemed like you had a certain level of confidence.

I want us to play like a well oiled machine.
you mean keep dropping the ball because its slippery??

Ever do a pig chase when you were a kid?? Where they take a young pig, grease it up, then toss it in an arena with a bunch of kids? and whoever catches it gets to keep it??
I have...and those little bastids are hard to catch...
the moral of the story??
Pig skin and oil do not mix.

alrighty then - bryce young - rough week 1 but 12 pressures and only 1 sack - guessing that was also the lost fumble?

I'm making the transition from:
A. Disappointing Sunday-I know we won, but I have to admit that I was disappointed in the way we played. So, I'm moving on to.....
B. Rationalize Monday-I'm attributing yesterday's performance in part to the fact that our 'starters' hadn't played meaningful football for close to four weeks. And, it showed. And, now it's on to .......
C. Hopeful Tuesday-The Home Opener, with a game under our belts. Fingers crossed.
