Smith today was 12/20/200/2/0. SKins had 166 yards rushing, and had a lead because Smith threw some contested deep throws which were completed or drew a PI.
I would agree. At least even and he was cheaper.
I am looking forward to seeing how they progress by the end of the season though. Either way, we will know where we stand with them.
This is a key point. Green Bay's defense is not stellar. But what happens when we play a defense that is absolutely committed to taking away the run and the shorter tight end routes. We do need to find a way to loosen the defense up. That's why I do like Gruden's early play call to Richardson deep. Richardson actually impressed me on that play. While the ball was not well thrown, Richardson made a good adjustment and catch...if that's his skill level, at least in theory that's something to build on. Doctson I'm still sour on and don't think he should be starting.
Based on the game the Colts gave the Eagles, I think the Colts may be a team on the rise. That loss may not so look so bad based on where the Colts end up this season.
There were a couple plays where Smith had tons of time (including some scrambling) and he still couldn’t find someone open. The old saying is that DBs can’t cover receivers that long, but apparently that may not be true in our case.
Severely upgraded? I’m sure you’re not alone, but that seems a bit excessive.
Dunbar has been quite good, and I'm impressed with Moreau as well. Allen changes plays, and Payne is making an impact on some as well. Yesterday was the best game of the year for each of them, I thought.
Sad and kind of funny in how you word it...but true perhaps.00
That's pretty much been the story on Alex Smith though, hasn't it? It's one of the reasons the game feels so much more comfortable to watch when your team has the lead and Alex Smith as QB, and you feel so much more nervous when your team is behind and Alex Smith is your QB.
And pick up that garbage flag on Clay Matthews and Kirk loses that game with a late pick.
BIngo. Vikings should be 1-3
The story was told in Doug's usual affable way, but I think he put it out there so we knew whose idea it was, and whose it wasn't.
I don't ever want to see Perine on the field during a regular season game, unless there's some strategic advantage in giving the other team the ball. And I hope we aren't seeing the beginning of Peterson being hurt and ineffective, but we might be.
In four games, New Orleans has scored over 30 points three times and 40 or more points two times. So that tells you a lot right there. In answer to your questions, I have two competing thoughts:
That's how I'm thinking about it, too. Keep the ball at least 35 minutes of the game, come away with scores every possession (even if they're FG's), pressure Brees, trust the secondary (don't laugh), and they have a shot. The one player they can't account for is Kamara. I'd put Zach Brown on him all game. Nobody else can catch him.
Ingram's first game back. That offense is going to throw everything at us. We're going to be in a fight. Hopefully this team responds and can give as good as it gets. Hoping this is a Maurice Harris coming out party.
Strongly agree with the bolded. Recent reports suggest that Mr. Glass aka Josh Doctson may not be ready to roll on Monday night (shocker). Here's hoping Harris not only plays well but seizes the starting job!
Oh yeah that’s true. I mean what’s out the window is trying to win a lower scoring game. New Orleans has 26 at the half. They’d have to win a shootout now. Not impossible but not out style or strength. Winning our way is what is out the window...
