Rams rookie K has struggled worse than ours.

Two Offside calls on the offense in this game. Weird.

It reminds me of 3-point shooters launching themselves into the defender on their follow-through to get the whistle. It's fair play to use the rules to your advantage but bad for the sport. Trubisky made a Pro Bowl?? Must have been the replacement's replacement.

You're right. I do think something needs to be done about the fact that badly under throwing the receiver makes it easier to get the flag though.

That was a weak ass PI call.

They are certainly not designed to play from behind. This could get ugly if they go down by two TDs.

We also apparently let Hauschka go at the right time because he played one awful game for the Jags and was short on an unblocked 49 yard kick.

Dear god this is boring.

Goff strikes me as a game manager type with a better reputation because he's always had great weapons and an innovative head coach.

Yawn

I like boldness but going for it from your own 20 in the 2nd quarter down 4 points? Yikes.

That TE screen designed to run back toward the middle of the field was bizarre.

Not that the strengths and weaknesses are anything alike (quite the opposite really) but the Bears are kinda the Bills of the NFC in terms of being the 5 win team that people aren't buying into yet and kinda projecting at 9-7.

I was surprised to see that Epenesa already has 1.5 sacks and 3 other tackles for loss in his limited time. Not one of those immediate impact rookies but he's starting to flash.

Cam looks like he's throwing a 5 pound ball out there and I assume he's going through considerable shoulder pain among other things. He responded to his benching with great maturity and obvious respect for Belichick and I think he'll start against us but he is a very limited player right now.

I guarantee you the people saying McD has no signature wins predicted big losses in the signature wins he has. And whenever the next big win happens those people will find another excuse to narrow their definition of the term so that they can bang the same miserable drum.

That was ieatcrayonz. I like to think he's still around somewhere.

Let's not forget that he actually hit one of those misses and the refs called it wrong. Not that that's relevant to how his coaches regard him but since we're talking about percentages with a small sample size he's really at 76% not 71%. Also 18/19 on extra points is a good number ever since they stopped being gimmes. You typically see several missed each week around the league. The actual premise behind this thread is ludicrous though. No excuse? A rookie struggling because he's a rookie is about the most reasonable excuse there is in this sport.

There is absolutely no chance he gets cut.

Good play by the LB but that was an awful pass by Wilson.

What a terrible call to settle for a 41 yarder on 2nd down. 2nd down!

They absolutely are.

I think they should have kicked onsides. Wilson getting a couple first downs is just automatic. Edit: Welp, I was wrong.

Another RB bites the dust.

Wow embarrassing lack of urgency by Arizona.
