Pro Bowl Eric McCoy-out

Defense:
Pro Bowl David Onyamata-out
First round pick Marcus Davenport-out
LB Kwon Alexander-out
First round pick Caesar Ruiz-sucks

If I saw that list before the season I would have been thrilled with one win. That’s just off the top of my head.

RG is defense? And since when has he sucked? The OL as a whole hasn't been that great this year due to injury. I will say he's been atrocious at Center yes.

Ruiz was supposed to be an addendum and secondary point. Like you said he is horrible at center, a head scratcher since it was his natural position in college. The NFL is faster and the center has a much bigger job in communication, I get it. Still kind of a head scratcher.

As for Armstead I think we can all agree that when he’s healthy he is one of the best and that’s a hella long list of star players.

-Legit win on the road.
-Kamara should be in the MVP conversation.
-Adebo should be in the DROY conversation.
-Backups continue to shine.
-Great time for a bye.

We have a better record than the Chiefs. Let that sink in.

The mindblower for me is the Cardinals being the last lone undefeated team.

I dare so if the Saints had played their schedule they’d be winless. Ravens, Browns, Bills, Chargers...all losses. At Eagles is a possible win but they kicked our butts last year so IDK.

I agree. Lol. And we've struggled at times against some mediocre teams. Long season. Hope getting some guys back helps out.

The second straight week I've seen impressive stats from another rookie on defense ...Pete Werner.

13 total tackles. 8 solo. Hasn't been bad in coverage either.

Nothing flashy, but all he does is roll up his sleeves and go to work on Sundays.

Keep grinding.
