Hey Mark, I was at the game too. My flight landed early in San Fran (here for a conference) so I hopped in a cab, bought a ticket and enjoyed a game that featured POINTS SCORED.
My thoughts:
- Johnson is going to gash up the Bills run D, he is their worst nightmare - fast and elusive with a great second-level burst. I see some HUGE runs from him (60 to 80 yard variety).
- Young is still an enigma...man has great scrambling ability but the jury is still out on whether he can throw the ball. He made a few nice passes for big gains but also missed some easy throws.
- Titans D is questionable. Schwartz not being around has hurt that group in combination with Haynesworth being gone.
- San Fran will continue to become better. Smith looks like he's going to be a decent QB and two of his three picks were due to poor receiver play and the third was just a great pick by the DB.
- Gore is a beast. Lynch should watch game film on him.
- I still love Singletary. He may make questionable decisions from time to time but I just LOVE how he holds his players accountable. Unlike everyone's best buddy Jauron, players know they can't get away with mistakes with Samurai Mike.
