The gauntlet

Another must win

 

[BritCard]

Got to beat the Chicks while they are down.

The Pats are finding some form and I really think the Ram's are a bad matchup for us.

Rams’ offense isn’t anything special this year.

Rams’ offense isn’t anything special this year.

Not if you can get to Goff, which should be easier with Whitworth out. Their D is really good though. Which is why I don't like the matchup.

I think their D matches our O, but their O is better than our D based on current form.

Plus getting stomped for several years in a row doesn't help.

It is great being 1st place. But, part of me wanting the Seahags to win. I believe we match up better against the Seahags versu the Rams.

But for today, I will enjoy being 1st!

@Ronin

Glad you're getting this started.

Thanks like always.

trend that needs to be addressed in three games:

Detroit
Miami
Buffalo


in all three, the team rallies in the 3rd quarter -- and takes a lead going into the 4th quarter
in all three, the defense stops the other team 2 times and give the ball back to the offense.
In all three, the offense -- which looked so good in the 3rd quarter -- cant get the final score / run the clock out to secure the game.

the last two on offense were maddening: against Miami, the running game was so/so --but Murray was throwing the ball at will. So a run heavy plan gets executed

against Buffalo, KD is averaging 6+ yards per carry, and he doesnt touch the ball in the next to last possession.

Kliff has to stop overthinking these things

[emoji817] he zigs when he needs to zag.

And again, KM already told him to trust the QB....he needs to do that. If he isn't giving KM 3 plays in the huddle (2 rubs and 1 pass) the way BA did with Palmer, he needs to start. It's either that, or he doesn't think KM can truly read an NFL defense yet, which is another issue.

You're Welcome.

Primetime trifecta. Let's see if we can complete it on Thursday. Not sure if this team has won SNF, MNF, TNF all in same season before?

If anyone had the Big Red in first after nine games kudos to you!

 

[AZman5103]

It happening again....I am starting to set myself up for disappointment by thinking about winning the division, home playoff games (possibly with fans) etc.

I need to take a step back and remind myself this was a 5 win team last year. The goal this year was always "compete for the playoffs" which we are doing.

I don't think we are good enough to close out the season red hot and win the division, but I do think we can be a wildcard team.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Going into Seattle on a short week is a huge hurdle to get over.

Can this teams character emerge and we get the win?

 

[TaylorSwift]

Big test of character.

Gotta be in the driver's seat as NFC contenders if they can pull out the dub on Thursday.

Packers, ok

Bucs, eh

Saints, Gotta see what Jameis post-lasic looks like.

Rams, eh Goff

But the Cardinals are hungry right now.

The advantage we have is that we play at such a great pace that we wear teams down.

Our issue is that we start slow offensively and our 4th Qrt play calling/execution is rough to start 4th Qrts.

With our conditioning we should give this Seahawks team major problems. We just gotta be ready to roll. Kyler's gotta be accurate/in rhythm to start and Kliff's gotta be dialed in.

Could be a magical year. I totally believe.

That record should get destroyed soon.

 

[JosiahLee]

What scares me the most about this gaming is the likely onslaught of injuries that will be coming. A short week, in prime time, against a divisional opponent, for control of the division. Add all of that up and I smell trouble. Let’s hope the injury bug bites them more than us.

Disagree. This is one of two games we can still lose and I won’t be devastated (@LAR the other).
