Come on, I don't think you can say that about the defence, with 9 points and 283 yards allowed? Todd Gurley didn't have much of an impact as well. They aren't forcing turnovers, but most of the blame should go to the offence again IMO. The o line is definitely a joke. Hopefully they'll improve sooner than last season.

Fair point. I do think it's shocking to see our defence give up so many big plays, it doesn't happen, especially to a team that scored 0 last week. Shead got burned hard last night.

But yeah, the offence and the coordinator. I'm hoping Ifedi can come in and we can drop Sowell immediately. Russ is going to get (More) hurt pretty soon if not.
 
How painful was that Hawks - Rams game to watch? I love football but man I hate those kind of low scoring games.
 
The Rams - Seahawks score :lol: Much respect to anyone who watched the entirety of that game without falling asleep
 
I don't even mind low scoring, if it's real cracking defensive work, but that was just two teams playing shit.

Yeah if someone is racking up turnovers that could be exciting but if either team is doing 4th down and punt, what's the point?
 
Excellent weekend all around. We avenged that awful playoff loss to the Chiefs last season and the Colts and Jags both lost. It's a pity the Lions couldn't hang on but imo the Titans aren't good enough to be a real threat in the division.

Fuller has looked class and the defense was very dominant yesterday with Watt looking much more like his old self and Mercilus on a mission. While Brock wasn't faultless or even close to that, a win against the Chiefs is very nice, longest active regular season winning streak in the NFL now as well. Plus the perfect timing to play the Patriots next Thursday!
 
Our secondary had the best showing in its lifetime and still Kelce was having his way with them. I can only imagine what Gronk would do.

He only had 34 yards though but I know what you mean, yeah.

FFS will Gronk be back next week? Let's just hope their third string QB will feck it up.

Gronk should be back but the game being on Thursday makes it even tougher for the Pats.
 
feck, Ware has a fractured arm :(
Yeah that doesn't sound too good.. It says something that even without him, your pass rush is still one of the best in the league.

It helps that Von Miller is an absolute beast, but yea. Our D in general is absolutely fantastic.
 
Some analysts are saying that he was up against such bad CBs this week he can't be judged.
He'll have tougher tests to be sure, but as the old saying goes you can only beat what's in front of you and he's showing the right signs for his first two NFL starts.
 
Colts are terrible in the secondary but he passes the eye test to be fair.

Yeah fair enough, but i still expect to see Paxto Lynch at some stage.

It must be nice as an inexperienced QB having that Defense..

That's true as well. I think they will improve and make big plays themselves soon.
 
I'm wondering, is it a good idea to trade a pro bowl pass rusher for a high pick?
 
Rivers is cursed - Woodhead out for the entire season with a torn ACL. That's his best and arguably second-best pass catcher gone after two games.

Peterson has a torn meniscus, doesn't sound too good eiher. I'm curious was McKinnon can do as a starter.
