Maye with a worse pick than either of Fernandos preseason ones. BUST

[HesterLayes]

Not saying they suck and their division is still half ass…but they do have a harder schedule this year…we shall see

It's funny, I was listening to Collinsworthless talking about how the seahawks need to be careful blah, blah, blah. I told the wife that the pats better be careful throwing Maye because he really hadn't done much of anything in the entire game and already had two picks and if he throws his 3rd that would be it. A few plays later he coughs up that gem. lol

Patriots offense is in trouble without AJ imo

A reminder that our 49ers friends are playing down under tonight,

The game last night should be hugely encouraging to Raiders fans. Without Kubiak, the Seahawks offense looked largely horrible.

True but Drew Lock too.

Brian Fleury actually has very limited experience as a play caller. It should be interesting moving forward, fortunately Seattle is good enough defensively to win the scrums. Kubiak's departure was huge for both us and the Hawks.

The wildly different travel plans of the Rams and Niners are really interesting. I prefer the Rams' approach, especially with respect to the jet lag once returning home. I assume the Rams are trying to basically leave their clocks on Pacific time, despite the actual time difference, and that they will make no attempt to adjust to the local time and the associated jet lag. While the Niners will deal with jet lag in Oz, and then will deal with jet lag when they return home.

There will be plenty of conclusions drawn as to the right approach based on how the game goes, but it's just not a big enough sample to draw those conclusions. Interesting discussion though.

that tends to happen though when your without your starting qb,starting rb vs a very good defense ...defense looked great though keeping em in the game until the offense got uncorked for 13 unanswered points

looks like darnolds test's came back good on hip (not broken) will have 10 days to recover

[mstrbass2000]

take the rams -3.5 in this game...superior on both sides

I was not watching the results, I was watching the game calling. Kubiak adjusted really well last season, this game last night? Zero adjustments. They had a plan and were unwilling to change it up.

losing kubiak is gonna hurt...similar to the lions losing ben johnson . i do wonder how much drew locke being qb hurt em on adjustments, sometimes team tend to go conservative when the backup qb is in the game and the defense is so good.lets see next game when drew practices witht he ones if anything changes or if sam's cleared to play

[mranquales]

There's no doubt that Klint Kubiak is a great offensive mind. The issue will always be that our defense won't be able to stop anyone. Especially on the ground.
