Although I am skeptical about the teams chances, I want to send out good vibes.

KOC has been getting the team to rise to the occasion more often than it hasn't this season, let's hope that continues.

My son flew in from LA and we are going to the game tonight. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Our d-line will have to dominate and the o-line somehow hold its own.


True. Also, our coaching and Game plan has to be better. You lose your best Offensive lineman by far and didn't adjust to quicker passes or added protection. I hope our coaches got a little wake up call on the overall quality of the O-line and their need to anticipate adjustments much quicker.

I hope I'm WRONG!!!

It would help if this was the week where things finally click for Ingram.

Cousins needs to think quicker, he does that and he might be fine.

Status: offline 		Kirk seems to do better when KOC has him do no huddle, series of quick passes, the end of halves, the end of games, and when they respect the opponent.

He seems to get lackadaisical every 3rd quarter, as though the halftime talk only made him more cerebral, or was too much for him, not enough quickness is shown.

His passes usually seem to go where he wants them to go, good accuracy and good, strong throws. It just seems like Kirk needs to read things quicker, or make changes a little quicker.

Dallas and NE are top 5 defenses. KOC schemed way better tonight.

First win against NE in 22 years.

Another good win.

Justine Jefferson and Steffon Digs make QB’s look good.

But boy our defense sucked for most of the game. Mainly due to playing off recievers with a 15 yard cushion. They made Jones look like the 2nd coming of Tom Brady. I don't think we forced a punt or an incompletion until the 4th qtr.

Rightly so. The guy is our offense. Just pay the man.

NE is at the bottom but still in our competitive tier of teams … along with half the league. Jets as well. We are not as balanced as some but JJ is the equalizer.

Havent watched SF, Ravens for awhile … but outside of KC, Dal, Phi … feel like we could play with anybody.

Thats remarkable given the holes in the roster and cap situation when Kwesi - KOC took over.

This! Enjoy the wins and let's see what happens. That defense is the worst I've seen in quite some time but they seem to step up at the end in the close games. It almost leads me to conclude that it's scheme and how we're lining up. Maybe hoping for mistakes instead of forcing them or something. I wouldn't miss Donnashell that's for sure. Great win though and very entertaining game. JJ is unreal!

Status: offline 		Liked seeing Cousins slamming the ball down when they - yet again - couldn't get the play off in time.

Are the playcalls too long? X-right, fluff, fluff, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, on... seven.

Every game, they have to burn timeouts.

Even with everyone lining up with ten seconds to go can be dicey as they go through a litany of shit. Just hike the damn ball.
