what did we learn after week 1

[The Derski]

It’s such a beautiful morning. Birds chirping, sun shining, Skip Bayless losing his mind.

Rodgers probably pissed excellence.

well, he was definitely pissing excellence last night ....

Yep.

Flacco STILL failed to cross a YPA of 7 yesterday. Some will excuse that as... the Bills, but Flacco doesn't get much benefit of the doubt here if he falls on his face again against tougher competition.

LOL you and SteelersPride can always find a way to shit on Flacco even when he does something good. It's impressive.

36 touches is just insane to be honest. That is how NFL Careers are killed. Now I am sure this will not happen every week but that many touches is 576 over a 16 game season.

It was a rainy sort of day.

Maybe in this new NFL...a premier RB1 should touch it at least 25 times imo between rushing and receiving. Hard to get into much of a rhythm if you're not getting it at least 15-18 times as a rusher

I learned losing sucks, but I prefer to lose from the start rather than having your throat slashed in the last few minutes of the game.

^^^ cowboys fans in 2018. "Which loss was the best?"

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

McCaffrey did make Sean Lee look like a rented rookie.

LOL...several times, but there was that one play down near the goal line, when he just shoved Lee to the turf

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The Chiefs are 19-2 against the AFC West in their last 21 games.

 

[mcnabb7542]

I'm going to start with :

Redskins : Looked good or are the Cards that bad?

Bungals : not shocking its one of their players that get tossed first for the no contact to the head rule

Seahawks: They should fire the OC Bevall

 

[Zooky]

Jags still under the radar.
They have an us against the world mentality.
Don’t know if Fournette is ok.

 

[Iggloo]

The Cowboys offense is so predictable that even Dez Bryant is smart enough to identify the play calls before the snap.

Man is throwing mad shade at Linehan, haha

Shit couldn't believe I heard they beat SD 9 straight

Typical Rivers, another stellar fantasy day, another loss

 

[handicappers]

I learned that GoldenSpur is a bigger bitch than week 16 of last season

 

[PhillyGreen]

He sure is. Kind of makes you wonder of Garrett is getting a fair shake. The reason his job has been so safe is probably because he is a figurehead. Does he even have input on any of the game plans?

Dez didn't know the plays when he was on the field. He expects us to believe he knows them now

Who do you think does? Garrett probably has too much input in the Offense. It's still his Offense Linehan is trying to run.

Honestly.....I had no clue. Given the reports that come out of Dallas about who does what there really is no telling. My understanding is that Jerry Jones decides on the entire coaching staff and that it was his decision to turn the play calling over to Linehan. So I did not now if it was Garrett's offense or Linehan's. To be honest IMO the only coach on that staff that is any good is the defensive coordinator....IMHO

I saw something come across the screen yesterday that struck me as odd and I wonder if this is true. One of the coaches on the Cowboys staff is the defensive backs coacn AND the passing game coordinator. Now I know a good number of coaches may have dual roles but I don't recall a coaching having roles on both offense and defense. The last time I saw something like that or close to it was when Andy Reid thought it was a good ideal to take Juan Castillo who was the offensive line coach and made him defensive coordinator.

 

[jarntt]

"Passing game coordinator" yes, but from a defensive point of view. Not the Offensive passing game.

ok....that makes a whole lot of sense. I immediately thought offense when I saw that.
