Below average qb makes the rest just not go - we saw it for 20 years. Even when the other 52 are great it all sputters… and their 52 aren’t particularly great. This should’ve been a soft ball and it was. We needed that. 100% you play the team across from you and they are an nfl team all wins count the same and drawing a line in the sand today was important. im glad we had Carolina on the schedule today and not a tough matchup though.

the article barely references anything of note you then extrapolated it into total make believe but sure, it’s possible in the sense that a lot of things could be possible

I try to say this in the nicest way possible but we beat a not great team. Jordan poyer played in Cleveland the last time you could argue that dalton was not bad. and he wasn’t great then. Heck at that time we had Kyle Orton at qb, and opponents could say EJ Manuel wouldn’t have done much better. We beat one of “those” teams. Sure, an nfl club but the type you should carry 9 out of 10 days if not more

it was a bad hire because we invested in building the strength of the team on the defensive side and not only was his plan to dismantle that positive, he also had no plan to do the work to rebuild it once torn down. alas, not the thread for that

I’m not sure my opinion on cook has changed much but that where that lands in relation to the board has varied wildly I remember being frustrated as hell we were keeping such an electric player in the sideline. I was confident he was among the best in the league I still think he is at 12m im pretty ok with the deal and he has shown an extra gear this year that’s exciting to watch but it couldn’t be more frustrating that he seems to not be allowed on the field in any passing situation or two minute drill or a lot of short yardage plays…. and I still think it’s weird to pay a guy 12m who you take off the field for the biggest plays

I’ll hold to my word- I looked forward to an impressive win and being slightly annoyed by everyone overrating carolina

some weeks Carolina beats the falcons by 30, sometimes we beat Carolina by 31 some weeks we do not beat the falcons they are a feisty young team playing well. They will sometimes be a feisty young team that flops. Thats all.

that first half of your post is exactly why I question if he’s protecting himself a little extra - whether injury or constant chirp in his ear about health.

dont do that thing where the first time a team flashes they are suddenly never going to play down to the lesser versions of themselves

Something like that could easily tie through to bailing from the pocket a little more quickly, and not being as eager to run himself

he’s taken a few hits. I wouldn’t be surprised if in addition to the nose he maybe has some ribs acting up, etc… nothing to be gained telling us but narratively it would kind of tie through to a few of the question marks.

I don’t think he trusts the system as much this year I also wouldn’t be shocked if he’s nursing some sort of unreported injury a little

I bet at some point Benford and tre and max were playing together

oh it was, apparently mistakenly, reported they were fully banned. I’ve seen plenty of social posts about suspending cook etc…. Because announcers and writers did not well clarify the change in rule. I would bet many if not most here think it’s a full ban

though in being measured - he may allow catches or make mistakes still. Young guys aren’t always linear improvement

yup. also under center Josh even does the hand signal for which way to run often. it’s been fine in the run game but I sure would like the defense even a little worried about it in passing plays. We just need every bit we can on that side

it looked like a blue hat if looking closely

not thrown his hat in the guys face after pointing at the scoreboard? hopefully the throw only costs him dollars

These Philly fumble on the tush push continues to prove the play unable to be officiated just saying it here

imagine if we had a guy pulling people away from him too…. really could get fun if we had a boundary guy

fantastic!

Really hoping to step on the neck immediately instead of slow playing the second half here… Extend the gap instead of limiting possessions

he was. He publicly posted like 2 weeks ago that his situation was dire and needed to get the transplant asap and asking for help from fans finding one

not sure you are aware but every team gets injuries every year. I’ve heard it’s not a game humans should play

lsu boosters LOVE the guy. His name was obviously popular around the saints were he was on Sean Payton’s staff too. I think that’d be a brinks truck moment in his career and hard to ignore, unless he’s eyeing the Cincinnati job
