Not a bad UDFA pick up.

I saw a replay of that fake punt & dropped pass by Hardee ...

Taysom had some serious mustard on that one. That ball was whistling but Hardee has gotta catch it. I guess that's why he's a DB & not a WR

Yeah, wish they would have had Hogan in Hardee's spot.

That dip under the block and tackle for loss play was very nice by him.

Yeah, I know I will probably get flamed for this. But it sure looked to me like Drew was probably down in the end zone on that play (knowing the way the refs have treated us, it honestly could have been called either way). And after he hit the turf, Drew immediately pointed at the one yard line and gestured, "I was out there" and the refs moved the ball forward out to the one yard line and spotted it very generously for him. Sometimes it's good to be a record-breaking veteran QB. I kinda felt like the likes of Brady, Rogers, Manning and Brees will get that call, get that spot, but most other ordinary QB's might not have. Drew is a warrior and the refs know it. Sometimes, if you pay your dues and prove you love the game enough, the game loves you right back, and that's Drew.

And in his defense, Kamara seemed very humble and very determined yesterday. He did a quiet praying/"thank you" gesture every time he scored a touchdown, he didn't grandstand or showboat in his celebrations hardly at all. I think those touchdowns meant a lot to him, because he knew he had been away from the end zone a lot, and it's a big contract year for him. Let's hope he gets back on track again. But I think if there was any hint of him being disgruntled with his touches or him not being happy or fussing about off-the-field issues (other than his injuries) I didn't see any trace of it in his body language yesterday AT ALL. Looked like he was "in the moment" and totally wanted to be there, period.

It looked like a for-sure safety to me. I was shocked the replay wasn't reviewed. Thought I must've just seen that wrong.

This team came out flat footed and unmotivated then got pi$$ed off after they got handed 14 points. One thing that no one has mentioned is how DA allowed 14 points to be put up then the adjustments came and he made them go three and out repeatedly until we had a large lead and DA took his foot off the throttle again.
