True, but that's the catch... if they don't find a way to balance the work load a little, he may not be around when it matters most.

The lack of usage of Scott here and there has been odd. 

is Penny still on the team?

Yup. Definitely a problem because we'll need him in the playoffs

The biggest issues that we’ve seen on both sides of the ball this year, and even Hurts looking different, is due to the change in coordinators.

I still think they (especially Desai) are showing signs of being able to continue improving, but it’s very obvious that they have shown how green they are.

Seeing the defense adjust the way they did today is probably the most encouraging moment for either guy so far.

Hopefully they make a big leap for the rest of the season.

Adding a piece to the secondary would help too.

Even in his prime, Stoutland always had good game plans for Donald.

And every other premier pass rusher it seems.

The key for every coach since he's been here is Jeff Stoutland, he's been such a wonderful addition.  From Kelly to Pederson to Sirianni... he's been the constant... along with Kelce and Johnson.   The change that's coming is going to be monumental.   

Just landed. The fact that we shut out the Rams in the 2nd half is crazy. Wasn't expecting that.

Said it before, this kid can be as good as he wants to be.

They should’ve reviewed if the ball was tipped (didn’t have the sound so I’m guessing that’s what they ruled). The defender does hit cousins and his hand nearly at the time cousins releases it. Again I didn’t have the sound on but i assumed they ruled defender got a piece of the ball when he hit cousins. and watching the replay they should’ve reviewed it to see if it actually was. Im surprised they didn’t.

I'm far from a Scott fan... but he's serviceable.  We need to find ways to get Swift's touches down.

He's this year's Trey Sermon. I don't expect to see him much, if at all.

Boom winning a title!

Kid was born with just natural strength and quickness 

Kupp was ugly early but Desai made strong adjustments that won us the game. I don’t know if that happens last year.

If we up his snaps, Carter has a legit shot at DPOY, not jut DROY.

I'm not either. He's fine but if the goal is to reduce wear and tear then why not spread it out. Scott can basically do what Gainwell can do.

I'd say the way that the offense dominated the TOP today in the 2nd half was also a very encouraging piece as well, BUT... the glaring thing with that is that they only came away with 3s with all that TOP.   Gotta get the ball in the end zone at the end of those drives.   6 points in the 2nd half isn't what we are looking to produce.  14... now we are talking.  

If your 1-4 at this point and not slowly making ways to tank for Caleb Williams then your organization is a failure. I don't care if is October still. 

Hearing Bears fans well Fields hasn't been bad the last two weeks, like shut the f up and lose

If Cox isn’t injured he probably does have the opportunity of at least 1 of those sacks. Not saying anything bad about Cox,   But silver lining on this short injury and hopefully it opens up the coaches’ minds and means they both play together more often down the stretch

He’s faced two of the worst defenses. I’d hope he looked good otherwise he shouldn’t be playing whatsoever. Heck Zach Wilson looked good against Denver too

I don’t know this for sure, but it felt like they stopped giving 12 yard cushions in the second half.

I’ll be interested to see if that’s true.

As obvious as it has been to all of America that it’s what needed to happen.

Does the world explode if Bill Belichek gets Caleb Williams? Haven't heard anyone mention the Pats getting him 

Jalen Carter was the pick, that’s for sure.

taking the torch from Aaron Donald 

Sometimes life really is this simple - Carter was far and away the best player on the best college Defense of all-time for a reason.
