Well, I was wrong and I'm glad, anytime we kick the Boyz is good now we won't beat the Steelers but that's a conversation for another day.

Why not?

On paper it looks like a pretty even match to me. Their offense is middle of the pack, and they have a pretty good defense. The WFT offense is improving every week, and their defense is just as good.

Re: Dallas beat down 2.0! Postgame
 

2-0 against Dallas, including 1 on Thanksgiving. Damn good season.

Hopefully the Bengals can pull it off at home. Pretty confident Philly is gonna lose.

Sucks we have to play Pittsburgh next week. Likely momentum killer.

One small benefit vs Pittsburgh is the extra 3 days rest/prep.:coach::sleep:

Don't let one bad play ruin Darby's whole season performance - he has been really solid and now I hope the team will resign him.

Re: Dallas beat down 2.0! Postgame
 

[quote=calia;1266195]BTW, props to Morgan Moses who has done very well l in a different position. If Lucas is back v Pitt, I hope he stays at LT.

For sure! It's been only two games but he looked pretty good as LT so far. I would be fine if the team decides to keep Moses as LT for the rest of the season. If he plays well then we should keep him as LT permanently and find a replacement for RT next year.

I'm not sold on Darby, he did have a great game last week. I would draft a CB and save the money for Allen, Scherff, others.

Re: Dallas beat down 2.0! Postgame
 

DFW sports radio whining and crying about all the injuries. Nice for them to see how the other half lives, pathetic front running mfr's. And btw shout out to special teams and oline have been very underated.

McClaurin and that hustle play. We need every single player to have that drive. Unbelievable that guy.
We definitely need a corner and a safety- which is unbelievable because of our pass D. That is obviously on the opposing quarterback having no time with our D in their face. Give us a MLB and a couple pieces in the secondary and this D is going to wreck teams.
Gibson is proving that our run game is in good hands. Logan Thomas had a great game. I like the guy alot and want him on this team but we need a pass catching tight end and some o line help. Obviously Alex is not the guy going forward but im enjoying this comeback. If you look at the schedules of NY and Philadelphia going forward we can easily get in with 6 wins. But outside of the Eagles it is going to be tough to come up with one. Carolina seems doable. If we can pick off a win in the next three games we should be hosting a playoff game. LOL

One more thing Barber was clutch. Great change of pace guy yesterday and when we need a yard he is the guy.
Also more importantly Rivera coached his best game of the year. That made me feel hopeful. Not sure what happened against the Giants twice and Detroit - one of those was a win and we would be soooo in the drivers seat of the division right now,...but great to see him coach a solid game for four quarters.

You are finally seeing what I’ve been talking about.

For now they should start Reaves and Curl, keep Moses at LT, maybe try Ryan Anderson as an interior LB.

Yeah well after almost 30 years of suck I need to see it. Not feel it. Lol. That being said I saw us dismantle a team from the NFC East. We have a stretch coming up that should tell us if we are on the right track or yesterday was a blip on the radar. I do not expect to beat Pittsburgh or SanFran or Seattle but if we get tossed around in those games than we are no better than we were last year. If we can be competitive with those teams than we might be onto something. After the Eagle win and first Dallas win we shit the bed. This was a road win on a short week after another win so they have my attention. Both teams without their starting quarterbacks. We were playing our backup too but we never had a starter to begin with. Lol.
I agree with those moves though Anderson at MLB is a reach.

By the way, we are already a game better from last year. I expect this team to compete with the elite, they have their confidence being built up slowly. Young and McLaurin will get the team fired up, Love their attitude.

Ravens vs Steelers reschedule for Tuesday. Will that give the Skins an edge?

I wonder if they’d need to pay him a bit more. LT is the money position on the O line. I wouldn’t object (within reason). Would be interesting to see a line of Moses-Ismael-Roullier-Scherff-Charles. I’d like to see what our two rookies can do next year.

That sounds good, however Roullier will be a FA if I’m not mistaken and might put Ismael in his place. It all depends how Roullier wants

He doesn't have great speed but has played well. And I actually loved his game, staying in the game after getting beat is a good quality for DBs.
That 4th and short was text book pass break up.

Darby has definitely been a pleasant surprise. For "only" making 4 million, he's been worth every penny. I hope we can re-sign him.

Re: Dallas beat down 2.0! Postgame
 

Not many CBs can play 100% shutdown coverage, never mind being a 2nd tier guy up against some of the best in the game. He's no Prime Time, but he's an upgrade offer Norman and a damn sight cheaper. Can't see the need to be so critical. And Fuller fell down diverting Cooper, giving him a big gain. Don't see any posts about that. I'd like to see us pick up a real #1 CB in the draft, but more than happy with Fuller, Moreland and Darby being on the roster next year. Its S and MLB we need to sort out as a priority.

Agreed. I will say, Curl seems to be developing. Had some nice plays v Dallas. Hopefully, more experience will lead to more consistency.

Not going to lie, this free agency was a huge surprise.

Darby
Thomas
Fuller
JD M
Kyle Allen


All have played Huge roles to this team, I know Allen is done but when he was playing he actually looked solid.

I was one of the fans that bitched about this FA class but I’ll gladly eat my crow now.

Considering how much help we needed at CB, we did particularly well there I think. Will be interesting to see how Thomas develops. Trending well.

I'm very aware. Doubling down, I see. I stated teams coming into games overconfident is merely fan speak and mainly doesn't have any merit in the true scheme of things.

The Steelers can beat the Ravens by 1 or 31, and I highly doubt they'll come into the game overconfident versus us.

Re: Dallas beat down 2.0! Postgame
 

Props to Curl, love what that 7th round rookie brings to the table. Another Kyle Smith gem same goes for James Smith-Williams.

Right there with ya. Enough crow to go around. Really solid. I hope this becomes a trend.

Contrast these signings with the big deals BA and company put together like Norman and Collins.

Really excited going forward to see what RR and KS come up with. Have a totally different feeling/vibe going into this off season.

I wonder how much having a competent coaching staff that can teach and develop young talent and more importantly install a system that works, the players now believe in, and the players actually enjoy playing in. It might have as much to do the results on the field, as picking the perfect player.
Sometimes having a coaching staff that can instill confidence to the young players on the field is half the battle. I now see the players playing with joy and confidence. It has been a long time I could say that.
Our recent past coaching staffs were so devoid of ability.

Just thought that kind of effort by Moreland deserved prop. Love DB who play tough against the run!
