Who needs ToS when the refs rest the clock

[Aggies7]

Ballgame, what a win.

[Parfigliano]

Winner

[gunnarthor]

Big win!

[Aggies7]

Who saw 2-0 to start the year? Not me

[Vanimal46]

2-0! Never would have dreamed a start like this. Hope Jefferson is good to go for next week. 

[Parfigliano]

TC got a W too.  Good day for this little spot in NM

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What a great ****ing football game. SKOL

[Vanimal46]

This Brian Flores defense is nasty man. We haven’t been able to describe our defense as mean and nasty since… 2017?

[Aggies7]

2-0 and 2 NFC wins. Huge 

[Parfigliano]

DET football lost

[Mike Sixel]

Great win. But it's all about Jeffersons health....

Other than the stupid trick plays in the RedZone, agreed

[Fatbat]

Top 3 defense thanks to Flores and some hard working guys that other teams didn’t believe in.  If we keep teams to 17 pts, we will play in the super bowl.

 

Jefferson is gonna be ok

[MMMordabito]

Texans should win tonight, so they can lose next week.

Quick thoughs

1) I love the defense. Lots of guys get time and it's a good scheme. Holding SF to 17 is really impressive and they seem pretty good at applying pressure. I thought they'd be a top 10 defense this year and I'm pretty confident in that.

2) KOC is a good coach and has been able to keep his players steady through three years. Very impressive. Some of his playcalling is worth second guessing - in the first half Chandler ran three straight plays for nearly 40 yards, our defense was gassed a bit, instead of calling a fourth run or even going play action, he just sets up in a passing formation and Darnold throws a bad pick. Same when we were running out the clock, first and goal at the ten, just run the ball up the gut, make them use the timeouts. Instead, a weird trick play that ends up out of bounds, stopping the clock. I know that his playcalling is generally good and puts pressure on the D - see the 97 yard TD this week, the 4th down TD last week - so this is just how KOC is and, generally, I'll take the overly aggressive nature rather than Zimmer's conservative nature even though, sometimes, it'll bite us pretty hard.

3) Darnold is a good QB (and by good, I mean he could be a top 15 QB, not that he's the next Mahomes). He has the talent but was coached poorly but is still young and has a really good arm. Give him a solid system and good teammates and he can be good. Cousins excelled in this system, Mullins put up numbers. At the end of the game, Addison, Jefferson, Hockinson, Jones were all out and he still moved the team. Major kudos.

4) Fred Warner is a very good LB.

[gunnarthor]

I'd hate to be a Cincy fan tonight. Ouch.

Probably has hurt to be one for a long time!  
 

looking out at the schedule. Its possible the vikes could be 7-3 or 8-2 in the first 10.  Every team in our division looks beatable.

Also, the kicker.

Caleb Williams is getting hit, a lot. Making some throws though
