The most unconvincing 5-0 ever!!!!

Great start but defense still very weak and we could come unstuck against a good team...playoffs should be achievable though.

5-0 who would have thought it? Before the season I marked it down as 3-2 maybe 4-1, 5-0 was not a possibility.

Offence is so fun to watch, Minnesota D had their number in the first half but then Cousins made errors and the Offence were able to pounce on the great field position. I don't agree with the O Line playing badly, I think they are massively improved from previous years. Pocic and Shell are playing better than Hunt and Ifedi last year. Metcalf is an absolute beast, Lockett has been quiet the last couple of games but I'm fine with that because you know what you get with him. Carson is doing really well, especially in the passing game.

The defence has been poor, but a lot of teams defences are struggling as well. As bad as they are, they are still making big plays when needed the most, stopping Cam on goalline, intercepting Dak and stopping Mattison on 4th down. I understand that these are not sustainable and luck will eventually even itself out. Pass rush appears to be improving. KJ has really stepped up the past 2 weeks. Dunbar needs to stay healthy because Flowers is an absolute liability. He is constantly getting targeted and showing that he cannot step up into the starter role.

Special teams deserve a mention as well, they have been excellent. Dickson is back to his best, and I don't have as much palpations over Myers running on to the field for a kick. Moore and Homer have had some nice punt and kick returns as well.

I think the bye week is at a good time for the team to get healthy and get ready. The next 4 games will say a lot about where the team really is in the grand scheme of things.

Results really went our way in the late games. Main issue with loosing the 2 games now is that our wiggle room is practically gone. 3 games into the tough 5 game stretch and we are 1-2. I'm still disgusted about that Cardinals loss. Game yesterday was a complete bust from the get go. Bills looked at the defence and just went to town on them. If Dunbar wasn't fit to play why was he? I'd rather have a fully fit player that can at least come out of his breaks fast whereas Dunbar was so far off the receivers. In the second half they brought the house on blitzes and there's only so much you can do that before teams pick up big plays like they did on the screen pass in the 4th quarter. They were right back in the game down 7 points and Adams gives away the penalty on third down, and that was all she wrote.

Wilson was really off. The 2 interceptions were bad mistakes. Running game really needs Carson back, cos teams don't fear Dallas or Homer so the play action pass are non existent.

Onto next week now against a fresh Rams team coming off a bye and hurting after the loss to the Dolphins. This is must win in terms of the Number 1 seed. Hopefully Griffin and Amadi will be back fit and Carson too. Rams will have receivers running all over the place so the defence will have to be disciplined. On offence it comes down to one man and that is Aaron Donald, have to stop him at all costs. I expect Wilson to bounce back. Ramsey will probably be on DK for the game, so I expect Lockett and Moore to step up.
