It's only on kickoffs. Still the 20 under every other circumstance.

Wow, Really? I thought every touchback was at the 25 yard line. So punts are brought out to the 20? I did not know that. Interesting.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Thinking about the game, Duke Ihenacho also had a really good game. Solid tackler, sent on a few blitz, efficient. Got beaten on coverage on a few plays, but good game. Definitely an improvement from Bruton Jr !

Positives: we slipped out of Baltimore with a win in a typically ugly Ravens game. HOw often do they win 17-16, 12-9, etc. Kind of lull you with their crappy offense and good D.

Best game all year from front 7.

The passing game gets people open with ease.

Return game! wtf!!!

Garcon. Tough dude. Took a mean hit on that INT and kept at it. Great TD.

Negatives:

crap playcalling at the end of the first half left points on the field AGAIN! Three more points would have really helped here. Gotta fix that. Jay needs to get his shit straight. Consolation: Harbaugh and co were worse yesterday.

Still having trouble with the run on both sides.

KCs bone-headed int. If they don't bumble that away, we're calling for KCs head here.

Third and fucking short! Come on, people. It's absolutely killing me to watch that. I'd rather be in third and long at this point!

Final thoughts: hell, we're 3-2 after 5. About where I'd put us, though I wouldn't have thought we'd win in NY. Still pissed we blew the dallas game. We had them early in the year and now they're getting better. WTF about 2 teams in our division start rookies and have ONE int so far between em? Jeeze. Anyway, please kill the iggles.

Good post, I agree on PG he got his clock cleaned and came back and caught a tough ass pass late. He's truly a beast.

One thing about Gruden and staff, they seem to be a good in-season staff.

I remember last year, at the start of the year, it was penalties, 2nd half adjustments and winning on the road. As the year progressed, all three of those issues went away, and this year we are 2-0 on the road, and the D in particular seems to make good adjustments.

It also seems like during the season they are better able to identify weaknesses and get help off of PS or players like Pierre Thomas last year and possibly Whitner this year. I think as the season goes on, we will see a maturation across the board leading into a very strong run at the end of the season.

Love these guys, so proud for taking care of their fellow country folks, representing the best team in the NFL. HTTR!!

Yop! Definitely an improvement on penalties.
Defensively, adjustments on the play calling, finally bringing pressure, with success. It was also evident that they underlined the importance of good tackling during the week, it was day and night on that point!

NFL 2016 Week 6 Power Rankings - Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers

I put zero weight to ESPN power rankings but enjoy their sometimes odd complete BS rankings.

Last week - espn had ravens at 14 and the skins at 19.

This week (after we beat the ravens) - espn has ravens staying at 14 ... and we drop to 22?

its like they intentionally throw shit against the wall so people like me having something to bitch about. thanks espn.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how whack ESPN is these days. Not only the power rankings. They had the games ranked too, and it was just dumb. The Pitt Jets game was ranked higher than the Skins Ravens. How did that work out? Im so over ESPN. I hardly watch it anymore. There commercials are their best stuff...
Edit: just checked out the rankings to see how bad. That is just plain stupid. Like someone should be fired. Not just the Skins, but how the hell are the Cards, Panthers, Giants, Ravens, etc. ranked where they are ranked?
"We are the great ESPN and we say the Bengals should move up for getting their asses kicked! You will obey our rankings because we are the kings of all things sports!"

Life pro tip: Follow my lead and don't give a single shit about ESPN's ranking of the day's games and life will be a lot easier. I want the W baby, that's it, that's all, nothing more nothing less. ESPN can ride that rankings dick all they want, it don't make me no nevermind.

Lol. Dont get me wrong i dont give a shit, but you are the Center of the sporting universe and your rankings always look like some drunk intern that doesn't watch football was put in charge of it.

I doubt they care about your opinion as much as they care about the fact that it has people talking about it, which drives clicks and keeps people tuned in. Hate all you want, as long as you keep thinking about it and sharing your thoughts with everyone else.

I stopped watching ESPN a long time ago. I find most of the shows to be unwatchable.

I will listen to Mike and Mike in the mornings, Dari and Mel on Saturday morning, and I will watch the Monday night game.

I really don't understand how you win on the road against a 3-1 team and drop. Just stupid.
