Positives of this Game

T.O.Killa · 09-13-2009, 10:16 PM

1. Offensive line gave up only two sacks. One was JC holding the ball to long.
2. Defense only gave up 16 points.
3. Haynesworth played well.
4. Carlos Rogers played well.
5. Defense got two turnovers.
6. Fletcher, and McIntosh had good games.
7. Heyer did not give up a sack.
8. JC's completion ratio was good. Wish they would have thrown more.
9. Most importanily, we play the Rams next week.

The two redzone stands 3rd, 3rd, and 4th downs were actually AWESOME. It showed guts in the line play.

Yeah, I should have listed those stands.

Agreed.

Bring on the St. Louis Lambs!

As much as I'm frustrated with our showing today, it was one game and we've got some favorable match-ups over the next month so hopefully we can get on a nice roll. There were some positives (Campbell's production in the shotgun, Heyer's play, ARE showing well in the slot, defense playing well on 1st and 2nd downs, Haynesworth as you mentioned, sacks and turnovers against one of the best OL and higher scoring offenses in the league) to take from today. Hopefully Zorn builds on the positives over the next few weeks.

Yeah, that too. I am starting to feel better and return to my delusional state that believes we are going to win the Bowl.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread.

The only positive is there were no injuries.

1. O-line played well
2. Several passes completed for 15+ yards
3. Receivers ran routes past the 1st down marker on 3rd downs.
(remember how many routes were ran last year a yard short of the 1st down)
4. The D-fense actually produced some to's.
5. There was actually pressure put on an opposing QB
6. The run was kept in check
7. Goal line stands
8. Suisham is 1-1
9. Offense produced points and did move the ball against a great D......(remember the offense should get better...were one year into this offense)
10. Zorn's play calling was better ( at least we aren't as predictable as we were last year)
11. Despite all that went wrong the players didn't give up and still had a chance towards the end.

Honestly, I was pissed off during the game as many of u all were im sure. However, once I reflected on the game I have a decent feel of where this team is headed. I really think by week 6 this team will be a good team and if we don't play down to our opponents level we should be in good shape. The only ? marks for me is dumb penalites which can be fixed and also our DB's---------(which cant be fixed).......

ARE in the slot is a major upgrade. It suits his skills very well.

CultBrennan59 · 09-13-2009, 10:28 PM

Fletcher is leading the NFL in tackles! hopefully he'll get to the pro bowl this year.

CultBrennan59 · 09-13-2009, 10:34 PM

O and Cooley has as many TD's in this game as he did all of last year! And McNabb is hurt so he won't be as good as last year, plus the Cowboys look very beatable, and we get New York at our place later this year, more experience for the D and O, and we lost by 6 to a team that a lot of people say could go to the super bowl, the very first game of the year, at their place, playing very stupidly on O and D, knowing we won't play this stupid again, isn't that right jason campbell (throw a pick way beyond the line of scrimmage), laron landry (trying to kill every person out of bounds and after every play, specifically Brandon Jacobs), and DeAngelo Hall (playing 15 yards off the line of scrimmage, gee I wonder if they'll throw some slants on you now? Idiot). Lets go get those Rams and forget about how we played today ok?

Horton and Doughty made some plays.
