adam Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 These games do not have me optimistic about our season going forward. Our offense looks even worse compared to some of these other teams. Jacksonville brought in a rookie (Minshew) after Foles went out and is slinging it all over the place. If you didn't know who the players were, you would say without a doubt that Minshew was a veteran compared to Trubisky (if you only watched the GB game). Lamar Jackson? 200+ yards and 4 TDs in first half (Baltimore w/ 42 pts in a half). Mahomes has a 300 yard game (in the first half) with Hill out with injury. Also, in regards to Nagy and the playcalling, it is clear that he is a huge part of the problem. All the successful plays I am seeing are bread and butter play actions, post routes, slant routes, and screens. None of his BS "laboratory" stuff is working. It's not all bad however, our defense still looks legit though, some really bad defenses out there. Also, Vedvik the kicker everyone wanted has already missed a couple of kicks and the rookie in CLE missed an extra point. So our kicker situation is not as bad as we may believe.

Alaskan Grizzly Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’m watching the Cleveland / Titans game to see the newest iteration of OBJ and how he and the new Browns do. So far this game has been a predominately defensive contest. With the running of Henry making most of the difference on the offensive side of the ball (so far). There also has been a fair share of penalties indicating the Bears and Packers were not the only ones playing sloppy ball the first week out. Oh, Case Keemun has thrown over 250 yards and 2 TDs in the first half for Washington in a 20-7 lead over Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 We get to face a Vic Fangio defense next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first blush on this game is how well Flacco goes so goes Denver. If he plays well they win. You can bet the Broncos D will be dangerous.

ASHKUM BEAR Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Minnesota looks pretty tough out of the gate too. The good part is the Bears could scale back on offense and it would help imo. Get a run established, add some screens, then once that is going some deep shots to soften the d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 It's week one and we don't know anything about how the NFL landscape will play out except for a few elite teams and a few really bad teams like Miami and TB. We lost our first game last year and still ended up with 12 wins. Absolutely nobody expected that after week 1. This time after week 1 it seems clear our D is already better than last year. I don't think our offense will stay worse than last year. At a minimum we'll see offense similar to what we had last year and likely it will get even better than that. If teams stay with the Packers Dime approach on D we'll be tearing them up in the running game soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Both Miami and the Bucs at least scored a TD. Something we couldn't do. That's pretty insane. At least it looks like Pittsburgh will only score 3 pts, so we won't be alone this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
