Brutal angle by Collins on that run probably ends any slim chance they had.
Still, impressive that these guys won’t quit.

That was always the objective. To be competitive. They dug themselves a hole and tried to fight out of it. Can't really be too mad about this.
Expectations were kind of low and this is a massive rebuild project. Beating Philly was good but this was a harsh reality check. Go back to work and prepare against Cleveland (who seems to look pretty dangerous with Baker, and Hunt. Defense seems suspect)

The effort is light years away from what they "showed" under Gruden. Rivera and DelRio are already making a difference in the attitude. As they draft more talent, the results will come.

Yes. I would have liked them not to fall behind 20-0 and they looked unprepared at times for Kyler but Kyler is sensational and really coming into his own right now. I'm not too mad about this loss.
Gruden also was criticized for not having his teams prepared enough. This team is practicing hard and competing hard. Just went up against a better team. Chipped away a little to get back into it but it was just too big of a hole.

Honestly, it's sad. They beat the caring out of me years ago. Now I look at it more analytically than fanatically. I'd like to think that at some point (Snyder sells) I'll root for them because I can't help myself rather than because I've decided to.

Yeah. It's hard when you just don't have enough talent to make every game a contest. But this is the first time in YEARS it feels like there are people who have the smarts and the constitution to do wjat it takes to turn this back into a professional organization.

Arizona coasted, otherwise this was easily 40+.
And it's primarily the fault of the offense for not sustaining drives.
Arizona is good, but they were helped.

True, but they still fought back when they haven't in past recent years.
And fight is good. You can build off fight.

This:
Hask very well may not be the answer at QB but he deserves a chance to prove himself and RR will give him that chance.

His failings are not scheme-related. They're talent-related. Seems like a good kid, but God-willing they'll still be in a position to draft Justin Fields or Trey Lance because no one is supplanting Carolina for Trevor Lawrence.
Unless Carolina loses CMC, no chance they draft number one. They looked good offensively against Vegas last week and Roule is a really good coach. What will be interesting is if the Giants draft first, and if Barkley actually has a torn ACL it’s not far fetched. That said, I think the Jets are the clear favorite to win the top pick. Gase is a horrible coach and they look like they’ve already given up on the season.

This is hilarious. I was watching segments of that game on RedZone before the WFT game. Then when the WFT game started I just turned off Red Zone and didn'tk now about the comeback.

I don't know how Adam Gase, Matt Patricia and Dan Quinn are still employed as head coaches. Gase and Patricia's records are atrocious and Quinn would have been fired last season if it wasn't for the Falcons players. Jim Caldwell went 9-7 in Detroit the season he was fired and Patricia has since only won 9 games. Yikes
It's a joke that they have jobs. Gase is especially embarrassing given Tannehill's development in Tennessee. Patricia and Quinn are supposed to be defensive masterminds and they've overseen some of the worst defenses in football during their time manning the sidelines. And none of them have the excuse of breaking in new QBs or missing a bunch of time in the offseason like other teams and coaches do.
Other thoughts from this weekend:
- I would be beside myself if I was a Texans fan. Watson is a gem but they have to watch O'Brien gut that team from the inside out. Cannot believe they traded Hopkins for David Johnson's corpse and a 2nd draft pick.
- Russell Wilson is so good, and everyone was wrong about DK Metcalf when they said he was only a workout warrior.
- Dumb move by the Panthers not to take a free call option on Cam this year.
- Not a good day for our buddy Kirk: 11/26, 113 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 1 safety against, 15.9 passer rating. Two safeties and 4 INTs in two games for Cousins and the Vikings are 0-2 with Tennessee, Houston, and Seattle coming up next.
- NFC West is easily the best conference in the NFL but SF might finish last after all of those injuries yesterday. Anyone think any NFC East team is better than a single NFC West team?
- Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense look unstoppable. Love that we have Ron but it hurts to see guys like LaFleur and McVay continue to tear it up.
