What did you think of that last drive? Looks pretty darn good to me. They only got a few points, but he was moving them fast, giving the defense little time. Some good throws, some good decisions. Let's just say he looks a lot better today than Brady, or Rodgers, or Murray, or Burrows, or Pearson, or a host of others looked yesterday.

Wilson is getting more comfortable.
Brady won his game.

I'd say the TB defense won the game. Brady didn't lose it. Big difference.

Well there you have it.
Wilson lost the game?
Seahawks defense won the game?
Geno gets the win...as did Brady.

Better look quick Geno, first place can be fleeting!

i don’t know what you been smoking but anybody that has played that game for any amount sure as haetees better not be betting on the broncos this year.
They looked worse than a preseason first quarter game. Sure wasn’t a smart decision for a new head coach, new OC, DC and new QB to a system to not play any preseason snaps..
How about trying a 63 yd field goal with 2 timeouts remaining? How about the amount of penalties -which included multiple delay of game - absolutely no excuse for that. Broncos didn’t deserve to win.
It’s going to get really ugly when they play some talent.

Good thing it isn’t a one week season. Pretty early to be making bold predictions.

I like watching most sports. Sure is great when football is back.
Team allegiance has softened. I get more enjoyment watching the players that shine in each game.

At least Russ looked good in the post game. mtmuley

Come on Muley, he hasn't had much football practice.
BUT, betcha he spends a fair amount of time in front of the mirror.

Crazy that a coach trusts a kicker more to make a 64 yard FG, than his star QB to pick up a first down.

Totally^^
Made no sense.

Wilson must have been thinking WTF.

yes but he is a damn good kicker and had the distance, just barely missed. Not saying I like the call but if he had made it right down the middle, this probably isn't a storyline.

I don’t know, man. It would have been the second longest FG in NFL history. The odds have to be better that Wilson picks up the first down. The clock management was terrible too. Receivers not running out of bounds and left with all 3 time outs.

I'm agreeing with you, as a couch coach, I'm running the time out exactly like they did but instead of just calling the timeout, I'm rushing the line and trying to draw them offsides before calling that timeout. I'm then going out and using the offense to try and pick up that 5 yards.

I was just pointing out that it was damn close to going through and almost made the coach look good for doing that.

Pro ball is good for ethernet and WiFi ticklefights...D1 College ball is also pro ball.

 

[TOGIE]

in hacketts defense, let's think about how well his offense was that night at keeping the ball in their hands and getting it across a line less than five yards away. i don't think it was russell he didn't trust.

and thus far that night good ol mcmanus had given him no reason to doubt.

So @mtmuley, Kaepernick or Uncle Rico?
