Like i said in another thread, we played against offenses missing their key starters and rookie/ 3rd string QB aside from the Vikings who put 27 on us. And like i said before, this D will be exposed for what it really is vs the Bills. Theres always context to these things and i dunno how u cant see that.

The talk with Patriots is if that guy plays well again, they will consider supplanting Mac Jones who was first round pick. Or at least they'll delay Jones return until he's 100%.

If it was Brian Hoyer, that's different. He's a "proven" commodity to be a floating non starter. But that Zappe kid just needed an opportunity.

So, let's pump the complain train about what backups do and use our brains to understand they need opportunity.

Oh, I also wanna point out when someone new comes in and plays well. That's usually because the defense is rigid and cannot adapt to someone they didn't scout.

That said. Joe Barry sucks. 😊

Correct, and we did so without Jaire, Savage, Barnes, Amos etc. If you're going to put it in context.

Third stringer, but he didn't look like a scrub out there. Kurt Warner was 4th on our depth chart. Bart Starr, the true GOAT was a 17th round pick.

So we can stop bragging about holding these crappy offenses to 20 or less and wait until the REAL test (as ive stated before) against the Bills. Glad we can agree on this subject finally :)

I was getting my butt kicked by my 12 year old home theater surround system throughout the game. I took a break during 2nd quarter and the Packers looked uninspired so i went back to tinkering.



Packers defense did pretty well. Until the Jets realized passing wasn't working and running was going unchallenged. Once the Jets focused on running the ball, the Packers got destroyed.

My understanding is Vic Fangio is consulting with the Eagles... if he's under contract, we can't offer him a job, but I'd reach out and see if he's under contract, if not, I'm bringing him in... and even if he's under contract, I might try buttering him up to hire him come the offseason.
