Some of you guys are gonna get diarrhea from all these advanced stats/metrics and wind up missing a pretty fun season. 😆 @Conn Thanks for posting those Charles cut ups. He certainly is flawed but his good reps are super impressive. Let’s hope the staff can get a little more consistency out of him.

I think EB’s nature is to call a pass heavy game. He did seem to get a better feel in the second half, which is about the best I’ve seen our offense look in forever. Balanced. Screen game. Impressive runs. Red zone efficiency. They were in a rhythm for sure. I’m excited to play Buffalo. Let’s play a hand at the big boy table and see how we do. I personally think we will be competitive against the better teams on our schedule, especially if our defense shows up.

Sam mother****ing Howell.

Payne is a terror.

I felt like he was a bit more decisive today. It seemed like he hit the underneath routes with a better sense of urgency. Taking what the defense was giving him sooner. But that 45 yard rope to TMac was an eye popper for sure. The dart he tossed up the sideline to (maybe Turner?) was nice too. Entertaining football.

That. Game. Was. Awesome. The “win that feels like a loss” comment is funny to me. We haven’t won enough games to feel that way. We have been the laughing stock of the league for the past three decades of my life. That pass to TMac was a top shelf, step up and rip it ****ing laser. The kid got his first pick today. AG even had some really nice plays. The offense found a rhythm today. That’s my main takeaway. And Chase gives us a mental/physical boost. Let’s keep it going.

Sam is a smart kid. I think he’ll adjust when he realizes “you ain’t got Wake Forest bearing down on you…these guys can play” (one of my favorite Parcells quotes). I think his clock will speed up a bit and you’ll see him giving up on bad plays sooner. He looks like he belongs out there. Let’s hope he doesn’t get killed before we can truly evaluate him. 😆 I expect a sharper game from him this week. He looked off to me after that big hit. But the kid is fearless for sure.

Get it done.

I know where you stand. I don’t want our HC to be our GM either. I have said I would replace Ron in both roles, which is the most likely outcome of this season. I’m pretty sure you and most here will get your wish. I do think there is a less likely scenario where Ron would stay on as HC but relinquish his GM duties for the final year of his contract, which is not a much discussed option on here. I predicted a playoff appearance. I still think that’s a possibility. But I expect wholesale changes is the more likely outcome. I expect Howell and EB to make strides each week and that our defense will put us in position to win a lot of games. We shall see.

And he deserves criticism for the Wentz trade. But this feels like getting pissed at the McDonalds employee for getting your McRib order wrong before actually leaving the house. 😆

I have no problem criticizing Ron for the things he actually does, but criticizing him for how he might or might not handle a hypothetical trade is kinda silly.

Hope that’s all it is. The league is better with him in it.

Will VOR and SIP’s debates about PFF become legendary? 😆

It reminded me of when Chuck Cecil of the Cardinals knocked out Ron Middleton decades ago. They had a picture of it in Sports Illustrated. Middleton’s helmet came off and was lying on the ground beside him. The chin strap was still buckled. And as someone who has watched every game Sam Howell has played, he definitely didn’t look right to me after the hit. I’m really surprised he went back in.

Lololololololol at Daniel Jones.

I think a lot of the “blowout or bust” chatter going into this game was just setting people up to feel disappointed.

Nice write up @KDawg. Agreed on all counts. I feel like I enjoyed watching this game a little more than most here. I’m still optimistic that we can have a good season.

Happy to get the win. I think the Cardinals defense is a little better than people thought. Howell seemed a bit off after he got smashed. But my man has guts. Excited for next week. I think the defense found their footing in the second half and I expect it to carry over to next week.

The phone book is here!!! The phone book is here!!!

Because of Sam mother****ing Howell.

This is a competitive football team. It’s laughable to me that some of our fans can’t see it. Get prepared for a fast start, and to be proven wrong at every turn this year.

This is a logical take. I just think this is the start of a great relationship between Harris and the fanbase. I’m betting that the fans will see Harris doing his part (they already are), and they will wanna do their part. Which is to show up every Sunday and support this team. I also think people are underestimating the amount of hatred for Dan Snyder that exists. People will show up in droves just to spite him. And I don’t think that will wane over the course of one season.

I disagree with this narrative that there is a “window” to keep the fans excited and that “window” is primarily based on wins and losses. I believe most fans lost their excitement due to the fact that Snyder was a disgusting pile, and he made everything about this organization (the team/stadium/FO) difficult to root for. I expect sellouts of every home game this season no matter what happens on the field. Of course, there are varying degrees of excitement. But I think people acting as if we go 5-12, that FedEx will turn back into a ghost town/rival takeover party will be mistaken. Those days are over.

Inject some Gary Clark pregame speeches into my veins.
