incognito_man Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Lotta Gruden Grinders in this one Kudos to MLF for having this team ready to be bullies. Left 10 easy points on the board that we need to stop doing ASAP. But this was a STRONG showing from a team ready to play some big Richard football. Love to see it.

Toddfather Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 2 hours ago, Old Guy said: Interesting note, Aaron Jones fumbled on the 1 going in for a TD and SF recovered. Also, Watson zero catches, zero targets? Can't happen. It can 100% happen when your game plan is to make sure Willis is comfortable and not taking risks... There was no reason at all in that game for him to play action and try to send a bomb to Watson... This is 100% situational football my friend. The situation was prevent risk, turnovers, and run the rock and play defense. The game plan brought us a W and that was the goal. MLF, this team and the coaching staff should be celebrating and it sounds like they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Did Stokes get hurt? I know Valentine was in quite a bit and did not hear Stokes name much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Stephon Diggs type of receivers, coaches has to alter their game plan a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaire_Island Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I want Valentine to play more over Stokes. He is a PBU machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Stokes got hurt. He actually came back in for Valentine late when Valentine got banged up. I think Valentine simply played over him most of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we went with jacobs over jones I’m glad we have a guy of his caliber and ability to go all 4 quarters. I do hope Love gets back soon and they become complimentary as well as our other guys keeping some snaps off of the young veteran. I really want him at the peak of his powers in December, January and if we are very fortunate, February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not dismissing Watson, but explaining why he wasn't a focal point of the game plan with a back up QB that had been in the offense for 20 days... Did I misunderstand you?

packfanfb Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I missed Morgan's injury. That might be bad, especially if it's the same shoulder he hurt in camp. He'll probably miss some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Don’t care how they win when love is out. Just win and play good defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Just saw on NFL.com today was our 800th win as a franchise. Obviously, the first team to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Good performance by Willis, got the win,stayed within the offense, no picks, built some confidence and may have earned a foreseeable future backup job. Needs much more polish but a job well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they are selfless folks playing for the team win instead of asking for targets. Stephon diggs kind of players always wants the Targets otherwise they will make lot of unnecessary noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
