Wow, this is the quietest I've seen this forum after a win

It's quiet because we're still waiting on that "phantom" penalty.

I, for one, am pretty glad they picked Ruiz with all the injuries to the O-line.

McCoy, Ruiz and Ramczyk are studs to build a dominant line upon for years to come.

It could also say a lot about your opponent.

Why are you down that many players? Bad draft picks?

No, not at all. Lack of almost everything preparatory to the season beginning was eliminated. It’s not just the Saints, lots of big names on IR across the league.

I agree. This puts me in mind of the Aaron Brooks years (stay with me!) If I looked at the stats and not the score after a game and saw Aaron threw for a million yards I knew we lost. Different reasons but the same principal. We stuck to the run as much as possible v Detroit. Yes, at a point we went stagnant scoring wise late in the game by sticking to the run, but we burned clock and passed then when we needed to. Great job coaching IMO.

I agree with the exception of Davenport. And Peat. And Armstead.

We got stagnant when Ram left the game. Hats off to Payton for sticking to it anyway.

Ramz backup looked like a revolving door vs Detroit.

I sure RR is not out for an extended period of time.

Greenidge was not prepared for the intensity... flat footed and unable to have any effect on his assigned defender. As you stated hope RR can make out of the protocol soon ... like this week. That or we can get someone off the street that can at a minimum will fall down in front of the DE and force him to at least have to jump over his prostrate body.
