I know people think it’s a hot take but I really think he’s going to have a breakout "wow” type of play soon and then get better from there.

So blog…. If he finishes his career with that win percentage along with his superbowl mvp…. HOF?

I would say yes. Another superbowl win would cement it.

My trouble with him is he has moments of greatness and then some moments of sheer stupidity. But he does win.

I guess we'll see.

Pretty sure he’s a dude. But I’ve been wrong before.

@hputenis started a support group for that.

He’s much more valuable downfield vs zone, than as a bubble-RAC guy. They should move him up on some of those progressions, getting open as the 3rd read isn’t going to translate to much production.

53 snaps on defense is much more like it. And it didnt even feel like they played that well. Thats what sustaining offense does for them. And we didnt even sustain offense for much of the 2nd half.

Improving offense can take the D to another level.

Im not sure how many people heard the crazy squeal he let out on the field. I saw a clip on facebook so I couldnt embed and didnt bother posting. I wish I did.

At a global level, in Life, what positive end result comes from venting? I used to vent at Customer Service representatives when their answers made no sense. What I found was that the process of venting only accomplished two things. It raised my own anger level and it raised my blood pressure. When I stopped venting my stress levels decreased substantially and my happiness level increased substantially.

Eh. It the right forum, venting is good. Schmoopie and I vent about our day to day challenges in our respective careers to each other. Sometimes when you feel like you are on an island it feels good to be heard. Plus with the right person they can offer an outsider perspective to help your situation.

Now venting at customer service? I agree. He’ll, back when I was on the road full time the people I ALWAYS treated with unconditional kindness was airlines lost baggage reps. Those poor folks got nothing but yelled at for 8 hours a day.

All 22 guys I'm gonna be really curious what y'all think of Lemon's game. I tried to focus on him this game and he seemed to be getting open and running smooth routes a fair amount, but that's a real limited view. Biggest issue is we only see him highlighted in game in those god awful designed screens. They need to burn that part of the playbook. I think he's actually looked pretty good out there on actual WR routes.

8 possessions and only 2 punts. The two INTs were after we had moved the ball into Titans territory.

61% on third down. 3/4 in the red zone. 36 minutes TOP.

Wicks emerging as a nice WR2. All really encouraging.

Worried about Goedert and need to get the OL working.

He made a really good catch and asides from that I’ve not seen a lot from him. Hopefully the 22 tells a different story? It should be remembered that he missed a lot of TC and Hurts tends to target guys he has a rapport with so that may come. But they need to stop the WR screens and bubbles. They can barely block in a traditional way let alone in a play like that. The one he had yesterday there was nobody blocking 2-3 Titans. I mean what on earth was that about?

Anyone know why Wicks was off the field so much yesterday? Felt like I barely saw him on the field in the second half and turns out he only had 47 snaps (Lemon came in second with 48 snaps).

He is getting open and those screens are stooooopid

Just saw the Caleb Williams injury. Who acts like that with a hammy?

Monday morning…Birds are tied for the best record in football!

In the words of Hurts…you gotta take that 3rds quarter and flush it. That first half was the best offensive performance we’ve seen in a long long time. If the OL can figure it out, the scoreboard at half is pointless, the points will come with time. A couple bad ball bounces and ‘learning moments’ kept a game the birds thoroughly dominated closer than it really was.

My biggest gripe is a consistent theme we’ve seen from them for the past few years…the field is 53.3 yards or so wide. Why do you only use 40 yards or less of it so often. The lesson was learned last year that condensed sets have their place, but can’t be 99% of the offense. At least the reliance on hitches is gone.

Amazing Ojomo got so many more snaps than Davis. Yes I am aware of the heat. He also got more snaps last game. Obvious Vic thinks Ojom is a better player. Dean would also still be starting if he had re-signed.

Yeah the offense has had a few bad drives to start the 2nd half each game and is far from perfect right now but is much better than last year already.

Jesus I know it was hot but just heard the turf temperature reached 157 degrees. Makes having that energy for a big last minute drive even more impressive.
