1 – How do you get torched by Jared Goff two times in one season? Jared freaking Goff! Really?
2 – Losing by only one score after losing the turnover battle 0-4. That’s actually pretty good.
3 – I always get the impression that Chandler Jones has so much fun on the field. So often he jumps around making happy gestures, smiling, laughing and such.
4 – What a weird atmosphere. I have seen more exciting preseason games stands-wise. L.A. Memorial Library.
5 – I think these last three games show intriguing resistance from Kyler Murray, and really the entire team.
6 – It only takes two more seasons from Fitzgerald before he can potentially beat Jerry Rice’s record for games in a row with a catch, and probably the same to get the record for most overall receptions. Just two more, Fitz.
7 – Last time they played together, Kingsbury and McVay were wearing the same shirt (one of the mandatory from the league), but this time Kingsbury was having none of it, wearing a different shirt that very few coaches usually wear (though I think that is also some league sponsorship-clothes). Great move!
8 – First really bad game by Byron Murphy this season.
9 – Mason Cole has fairly regularly stepped in for either Justin Pugh or J.R. Sweezy in the last four games (I guess because of injuries). Is Cole in the starting lineup full time next season?
10 – The receivers has consistently trouble getting open – and have had for the entire season - which obviously makes the job harder on Kyler Murray. Do you offer a second rounder for Odell Beckham and see if they bite? Do you sign Antonio Brown? I mean, both are headcases, but they are also the two best receivers on the planet. I don’t know if I would do it, but I do think it is worth several thoughts.
11 – Three games in a row with really good run defense.
12 – I have gone back and forth on Justin Murray several times this season. My final conclusion is that he has had a very good season versus the expectations, but not good enough. An upgrade is needed.
13 – I am a little excited about Cassius Marsh. He has stepped up a bit since they released Suggs.
14 – Seriously, where did this Dan Arnold come from? The Saints and Sean Payton miss very, very few effective pass play-players.
15 - I always want to win. It is that simply. But I must also say that this year I haven’t cared that much if they won, because to me, it has been about progress. Everyone knew this was not going to be a great season in terms of wins and losses, but they sure have given me a lot of hope for the future.
