Glad to be wrong

Thanks bears

It’s a miracle! A goal line rushing TD!

[TheLeviathan]

I see a lot of complaining, and to a degree I get it, but we're up 14 in a place that's been a house of horrors.  And that's with our veteran RB fumbling at the 1.

Like....take a que from Ricky Rubio guys...."Change this face".  We're about to be 9-2.

1st one in how long,  27 games in the 2nd half,  cant be a winning team that way,  k.o.c.  play calling is ???????? no running game no screens no quick 5-10 yard throws

Nah, we won’t get away with this level of play against a good team. Chicago is mediocre, just better than they normally are. I’ve been watching too long to be fooled by the record

What?  The team has over 100 yards rushing right now in the third quarter?

yes its great, to be 9-2   , but against Playoff teams  ,  this offense wont work the way it has - Hope im wrong

We were supposed to be picking top 10.  We're about to be 9-2 and we're up by 14.

Do you not see how hard it is to win, much less blow out teams in the NFL?  The vaunted Chiefs are in a one score game right now with Carolina.

You know we've already beaten several playoff teams right?

rushing touchdowns,   look it up

playoffs start early this year,??

You said "no running game"....did you not?  The team has scored a touchdown in 60% of today's redzone trips and that includes the vet fumbling.

Criticism is great, but when it doesn't mesh with reality you should probably walk it back a notch.

The Packers and the Texans, because someone has to win that division. By week 12? Not overly impressive to be honest 

[Aggies7]

Go for it!

[Vanimal46]

Honestly, it's all about catching up with the Lions at this point. And they are blowing out teams every week. We need to stay with them to get the #1 seed.

And two on the bubble in San Fran and Indy.  Look, you can't say we "can't" do something when it quite obviously isn't true.  Frustration is fine, but the hyperbole and grousing is something else man.

We won't, they're a better team than us and the best team in the NFL IMO.

But hey, if we keep pace and beat them in Detroit, then I'll eat crow on that.

I think this offseason is the time to move on from Bradbury.  

I don't blame KOC for hesistancy calling short yardage run plays when we've all seen our center get forklifted as often as he has.

1st one in how long,  27 games in the 2nd half,   response was to no rushing touchdowns, as stated by the tv guys,    Comical

[Aggies7]

This one isn’t over yet by the way

Perhaps some effort in sentence clarity would be worth an effort then.  

That isn't a playcalling problem, that's a Bradbury problem.

It's a good meat and potatoes draft class this year. RB, OL, DT appear to be the strength. I would love to target NYJ CB DJ Reed as the premiere FA signing, find a C or RG in FA, then draft a few others for the trenches.

The DTs have been surprisingly good this year, but a gamebreaker would be nice.

Totally with you on getting a young RB and juicing up the center and CB spots.

Risner looks like he can run block, I'm good with the guards at this point.

[Vanimal46]

First full game I've watched of Caleb Williams this year. He's made some wow passes and he's certainly athletic. Whoever the next coach is should be salivating over the opportunity. The environment and supporting cast was vastly overrated in the preseason. This is definitely not the best opportunity a rookie 1st overall pick has ever went to. 

[TheLeviathan]

Gink's spy work has not been great today.

[mrtwinsfan]

Darnold , you watching, ?its okay to run on 3rd and short or 4th down and short

[Aggies7]

Gonna need a time consuming drive if they score here. Haven’t had much of that all day. Tough with the o line
