Re: Birds Post game
This team looks completely different with Smith running the show. I actually didn’t go into cardiac arrest at any point during the game with Smith QBing even backed up within our 10.
The AP/CT two headed dragon looks like it’s going to work out just fine. Secondary looked solid all night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Birds Post game
Wasn’t even a ball game, still not sure why some were so down on the Skins coming in. The Cards fucking suck.

Re: Birds Post game
I've always complaint about this team's inability to score early. Going up 21-0 early was HUGE and it is something we were never able to accomplish previously. Doing this basically neutralized David Johnson. I think we made an upgrade at the QB position and we have a veteran leader that should be able to put the team in position to win in many games.
The D was huge, and I hope they can keep it up. HTTR!!!

Re: Birds Post game
The difference with Smith at QB was the - should have been a safety - play. Heads up play. Made a bad situation manageable. So glad he is here.

Re: Birds Post game
I would have to say that the only thing we were missing today was more production from the wr's. I think more of that will hopefully come. No complaints at all when you win on the road. Love the way Gruden called the game where he stayed w/ the run and fed AP and CP.

Birds Post game
If not for the defensive holding Smith hits Richardson in stride on a beautiful long ball. That was good to see. AP looked like he had something to prove and please lord let CT and Reed stay healthy. CT is such a weapon. D was awesome. So weird to see us shut down a running back let alone a good one.
HTTR!

Re: Birds Post game
Negatives = got none
Positives = 1-0 not 0-1 Superlatives = We needed Alex Smith. Peterson looked like All Day and Night. Chris Thompson is easily my favorite NFL player. Defense played lights out. Cowboys and Giants lost. And Hail to the Fucking Redskins.

Re: Birds Post game
Negatives
- no pass rush - no play from WRs (our two leading receivers were RBs) - too many dumb penalties - Apke injury (saved a TD on teams) Positives - everything else - Run D and secondary were awesome, AS is steady and inspires confidence, CT and AP looked unstoppable, and the O line was stout My game ball would go to Quinton Dunbar - outstanding all around game and he knew he’d be targeted. Shows he absolutely belongs starting opposite JNo. Amazing for a former WR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Birds Post game
1-0. Let's not get carried away. This IS a game they should have won. Zero pressure on the QB is concerning, but everything else was impressive...

Re: Birds Post game
But this is the kind of game that until today we would have found a way to lose. Encouraging.
Win another game next week you should be favored to win, and then you have a real test in Green Bay. I hate a week 4 bye. Still ticked about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
