There are a lot of stupid posts that are 100% serious. Makes it hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic. I think I do.

Carpenter has been fantastic this season as a FG kicker. He's been below average on kickoffs.

These "apologize" threads are ridiculous. Our team is a pathetic 4-7, and has already (unless there is a miracle) screwed itself out of playoff contention before Thanksgiving. So when they finally put together a solid win, we are supposed to forget all of the crap that came before it? The word is consistency. I'm thrilled about winning on Sunday. But until we start winning 3, 4, 5 games in a row... on the road... against good teams. Well, I'm not going to get too excited. Sorry, but this team hasn't proven anything yet. As far as Hackett goes - most people would acknowledge that he's been pretty bad most of the year. He was OK yesterday. I was happy to see Manuel under center 99% of the day, because I think the read-option is terrible. I was happy to see us hit a couple deep throws. I was not happy to see us run the ball on 20 of 25 first down plays (again) - because I'm sick of us being so predictable, and it's killing our run game. It was nice to see us score 37 points. But don't forget that our defense was directly responsible for 17 of them (Fumble setting them up on the 4 yard line, Searcy's INT return, Byrd's INT setting them up on the 27). I would like to believe that Hackett is "improving" but I thought he called pretty good games against Baltimore and Kansas City earlier this year, only to watch him go backwards a week later.

I hate when defenses start playing soft with a big lead. Just let them score points. Why?

It's throws like that, which make me worry about EJ being the guy.

How is that not illegal contact?

Still think Byrd isn't worth a contract?

It's always one player, or one aspect of this team pulling us down. We can't put together a complete game. The defense is playing good... Check. The offense is capitalizing on turnovers... Check. The special teams ruins everything... Check.

What was that? Jets are still in this thing.

Alonso with a fantastic play!!!

As soon as I praise McKelvin, he gives up a big play...

McKelvin has been a shut down corner over the last 5-6 games.

Freddie's knees just haven't been the same over the past 2-3 years. He seems to go down with virtually every hit in the knee.

Hackett got really conservative in the Baltimore game, and we almost let them back in the game. Don't be afraid to put the ball in the air and go downfield.

Huge hole by the O-Line.

Ugly throw. will give Manuel credit though. He knew the blitz was coming and got the ball out really quick.

Not a good pass. Touchdown anyway.

I'm pretty sure we have run on 1st down every time so far today.

Impossible to tell where the ball was. Yay for us.

Punting from within our 40. Again.

EJ has two passes downfield today, and both times he's stared the receiver down bad.

Gilmore has been a massive disappointment since coming back.

How is 3 and out not a bad drive?

Agreed. But I'm getting tired of complaining about EJ and Hackett.

Honestly, I don't see our D-Line getting pushed around much anymore. And most All-22 reviews that I've read this season are saying the same thing. Kyle, Marcel and Branch are all having very good years stopping the run. Most of the big runs are failures in gap responsibility, and breakdowns due to our aggressive play-calling.
