Hey, I understand.

That and no faith in Peat too

Honestly, he’s already an afterthought. I didn’t even think about his involvement.

Anything strike you as somewhat of a pattern?

Ok... Here it is ... We lost game two and didn't rush the ball effectively.

"Short of one half against Carolina, this defense has been dominant through three games. Remember, they’re doing this without guys like Kwon Alexander, David Onyemata and Marcus Davenport".

Before it's all said and done, this 2021 defense could become special. I've been impressed in all three games thus far.

Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl.
Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl.
Eli Manning won two Super Bowls.

We can win it with Jameis Winston. The defense just has to keep trending upwards.

Problem is if we don't get some Offense going the Defense is staying on the field too long and wearing down.

Didn't watch the end of the game. Any truth to reports that Mac Jones was butt hurt and didn't even exhibit good sportmanship and congratulate the winning team's QB as they normally always do on the field ?

If we don't have a kicker and our receivers struggle to get separation, maybe we should not entirely discourage our QB from throwing jump balls in the back of the endzone and air punts. I mean, you don't get points for taking a sack, throwing it away, or kicking it way outside the uprights. So if you aren't going to run on 4th and long or punt in the red zone, throwing it into the endzone on 3rd or 4th down may be the best option. Its all situational, but if Winston does not throw that pass, we attempt a field goal that 50/50 Rojas misses. I would rather 50/50 of 6 points than 50/50 of 3 points. Either way the defense gets the ball around the 20 if it doesnt work out.
