At the end of the day, give me a well-built, well-coached team that consistently finds ways to win, especially when things aren’t going perfectly. That’s what matters.

As Hock said postgame: 'We are situational experts'. That's huge as an NFL game is all about various 'situations'.

I still have doubts about Murray, but if I take the 2nd half of the game and move forward and he can stack incremental growth from this point on, yahoo. 🤞

I mean that has to be the new baseline for the offense. Efficient, mistake free football with a few drives every game where we get some explosives.

I was told this was the best group of playmakers and coaches in Kyler Murray's career. I'm still waiting for this awesome play we were promised. We're winning a lot like we did in the 2nd half of last year.

But the 2nd half of the game gives me some hope the offense will get better.

This might have been a bigger miss than Hamilton.

Maybe another 17 snaps with Jefferson will help.

Good post Ice..

Only thing I can add is an old adage that'll cause some eyes to roll, but its so true

September for show, December for $$$

Which teams won't lose 1/2 their roster? Who gets hot at the right time?

It's that big cluster of teams in the middle that is anyone’s guess right now.

I think this is very underrated. KOC has the team winning ugly. Keeps running the ball, lets the D and special teams carry the day. If/when the offense gets in gear, the team will have a huge advantage, having learned to win in different ways, in adversity. They aren't prima donnas that won't know what to do when they get punched in the mouth.

Maybe it's just social media, but damn the injuries seem to be piling up at historical rates ytd...

I'm personally not a Nix fan:

He wasnt a downfield passer in college, what makes anyone believe he was going to become that on Sundays???

I think the bloom is definitely off the rose with Nix. I have a very good buddy of mine in Denver who would corroborate that.

OTOH, it looks like Maye might be working out of whatever kinda "slump" he might have been in since the SB.

Hey @IceRatz16  the Rams won…😀

lmao, that's right they did. I watched the game on Redzone and then assumed they lost and now remember they won.

a little foreshadowing...ha!

I literally copied and pasted some of what Sticky wrote on that portion to expand my point in my post and adjusted the wording a bit without even thinking about it...lol. I knew they won as I have Stafford on my fantasy team again this year, but sat him in place of Bryce Young (good decision). Serves me right for following something Sticky posted...🤣

Should've been more for Hill but I'll take it.

Yep, that one's on me.

I’m glad to see the NFL holding its referees accountable for their actions on the field. I didn’t see the AZ/NYG game incident (update: ref cusses McBride out...come on, man! lol), but Adrian Hill’s suspension certainly seems warranted. Honestly, I’m more surprised that the NFL actually took action this quickly.

I’ve never been a huge Hill fan, frankly, and his comments below, combined with his actions, only reinforced my opinion of him.

Wilson himself said he actually laughed off the incident:

“That was funny, honestly,” Wilson told reporters in the Vikings’ locker room. “I ended up apologizing to him and explained the situation. He was cool about it. He understood what was going on. He just said he didn’t want us fighting, me and [Gordon]. He said he was just trying to break us up.”
