Yesterday's game clearly made the distinction between being a team that has improved and is good and being a seasoned, legit playoff contender. Those who walked away unimpressed with Quinn or the team set themself up for disappointment from go. Anybody worth a shit has been saying we have a lot of growing up to do. The pieces are there we are just not running on all cylinders.
As irrational as the standard is around here, to drop a 60 burger like a well oiled machine on offense on day one, I suppose I'd rather that than apathy. That standard wasn't met last night, but in time it will. Hoping for sooner rather than later, like 7 days, is too much to ask. I imagine Sark saved some things, and we also see some flash next week but make no mistake we will face a seasoned title favorite.
At this time, I'm just glad to see we have improved in every facet of the game save kicking. We were good last night, and our defense lead the way. That defense wasn't just a little better. They pursued, swarmed and tackled noticeably better. Our first team defense against that same team last year would have gotten zero pressure, zero sacks, missed tackles and given up touchdowns. See the fourth quarter.
Our offense would have struggled to move the ball making this a much closer game. See when Card came in, man he is not good.
I get people wanted to see a well-oiled machine dropping bombs in the end zone like we saw in scrimmages. Those and change are coming. So are a few more picks, and many more of your irrational shitty takes.
