can WE now start a countdown to a new coach and qb

It's hard to win when the qb throws an interception putting the opposing team in great field position (eventually leading to a td) AND fumbles, which is returned for a td.

That's 14 out of 23 points that Campbell's mistakes directly can be blamed for. There's no excusing that.

didn't Eli do exactly the same thing and our offense didn't capitalize?

Also, it's one game but this year's secondary has me very concerned. HIT AND WRAP TACKLING KIDS. I swear Landry should have to run laps everytime he goes for a big hit and misses instead of a solid tackle.

Quoted for Mother F**king Truth.

I gotta disagree. They gave JC really good protection at times today and I think our running backs had an awful game.

I gotta agree here, was I the only one that saw Portis constantly running into his lead block, that was weird

Good post.. I was wondering same thing about the playcalling, as well.. I'm sort of excited about ARE moving back to slot position, it seems he's doing very well.. He definitely will have good season if the 1st game was just the beginning.. I sure hope to see a LOT more of Kelly, Thomas and Davis later throughout the season..

As for Zorn; all I can say that I guess his inexperience of coaching shows.. Zorn obviously has the characters to be successful coach, but perhaps jumping to coach from QB coach instead of O coordinator is too much..

Obviously? Do tell.

Since I didn't get to watch the game, maybe I'm a little more pleased than most. The NFC Beast is the hardest division in football, and the G-spots are on top of the division. I didn't get to check the score after the fake FG, and we were down 0-17 before that. Looking at the stats, JC had a decent game against one of the most dominate front four in the league. I did notice a lot of 10-15 yard plays going for the Giants, but it really looks like we clamped down on them the second half.

Bottom line: It's game one of a long season and if we stayed close with the Giants, we can run with any team in the league.

Observation: Two seasons ago we couldn't finish a game to save our lives, I hope this years problem isn't starting the game slow. HTTR!!!! Semper Fidelis!!!!

In the meantime, in the first half, Cutler is 5/16 with 3 INTs. But we'd be a lot better off with him for sure.

I know there are a lot of anti-Campbell fans out there and he didn't play a great game but to put any more than about 15% of the blame on him is just dumb. He was careless with the ball on the fumble and should have just tucked and ran out of bounds on the INT but to say he looked 'confused' and 'deer in the headlights' and 'lost'? C'mon guys, let's get real.

Exactly. His rating was over 90 and his completed 73% of his passes. He wasn't the problem today.

The problem was we stopped running the ball and they didn't. They averaged 3.3 yards per run and we averaged 4.0 yards per run. You don't give 16 touches to Clinton. This whole Betts on third down needs to be scrapped. I mean he was for -1 yards for god sake. I would rather take my chances with CP breaking one than Betts.
When did we stop running the ball?!? Did you watch the game? All we DID was run the ball!! When you are down 2 scores for most of the game that's not a time to pound the rock. We need to become a pass first offense. If you want to protect and maximize our offensive line, quit being so predictable. We were run, run, pass all day long. Want to set your QB up to get killed? Put him in 3rd and long after 2 failed runs.

I can tell you I doubt DS is going to do anything drastic during the season. It kills me to no end wondering why owners cut a HC mid season. What is that supposed to accomplish? Then make the new HC do what? Change the scheme? That won't happen it takes to much time to start a whole new offense. Unless you writing off the season and you know new HC's offense is better and will stick.

No Zorn is here for the season. Either he gets this fixed or he's gone.
