I think the noise factor came into play on some plays. Not everyone on same page . We are not good yet. This week will be telling as how we react to a loss. I think its a process and with all the young players it will just take time but for players to buy in we need to keep getting better. We have a chance to still go 3-1 to start and will have to see how that plays out. By the 5th week we will know how good we could be.

I like that you highlight this but more so for the rest of the season comparison. Two games is a small sample. Re look at this after 4 games.

As far as the goal line call, he may have been in but if was not good vision to say it one way or the other. I think they opened in the shotgun to throw off the fact everyone at the stadium knew they were going to run. And did run. If it worked, no one says anything. Should they have given it to Monty, (yes) should they have rolled out with the FB sliding into the end zone and had an option. Everything is questioned if the play doesnt work. I would just have QB sneaked it over Jenkins.

When we have a win we look at all the positives, when we lose , the bad juju shows. The young OTs are developing , good game bad game. DTs are weak spot , it showed up in their run game. The speed of the LBs showed but they didn't tackle them. Adams was terrible, try Sanborn that may be better at point of attack. Gordon may be good by the end of the season but he ain't there yet. Time and coaching will prevail. Lets see what the last 7 games look like instead of the first 7.

I heard someone bring up Larry Ogunjobi's name this morning as far as being better against the run. In two games playing for Pit he has a total of 3 assisted tackles. Either he is not up to par because of his injury or he's not that good. Either way Poles appears to have made the right decision. Its just something we will have to address in the draft.

We played a better team that was motivated after a terrible loss last week. We needed to be error free to have a chance in this game and we werent. If you keep it in perspective, if we scored at the goal line its 24-17. I think we still probably would have lost but with 8 minutes left down one TD is about all we could expect with so many mistakes. I seen effort at the end of the game but as PHX stated the defense was showing fatigue. I think this coaching team will focus on what it takes to be better. If we could have been running the ball that way more consistently at the beginning it would have stated we may have had a better chance. There were penalties that showed we have a ways to go with younger players. We need to involve a passing game more, a lack of consistent drives gave us less plays to have a more rounded game. I think when we play them at home, it will give us a better chance to win, the crowd noise caused a few mistakes, its a work in progress. This is the best running team we will face all yr with two good RBs. We were in place to make tackles but missed to many as the plays were executed, that's what good RBs will do for you. Gordon looked like a rookie out there today, which he is. I felt good about the play of Gipson and Justin Jones, they both showed up to play but to many plays were 6 yards down the field instead of blowing up the oline at the line of scrimmage. We can complain about the play of Mooney and Kmet but the truth is they arent being targeted very much because of the lack of consistent drives. Fields has a long way to go, I am waiting for his breakout game which isnt going to happen against a good team of which the Packers are.

Its takes 3 or 4 weeks before you get a true reading on how teams will be. Hopefully we're 3-1 or 4-0. If we can be in games at the end, some TOs gets some unexpected wins. Like this week. Parody is live and well.

If Karma actually exists, beating GB will teach the National media to pay attention more. Also some of the beat writers are on the down side of expectations. There is some merit for low expectations, but I drink a lot of coolaid.

Usually good teams don't lose two in a row, especially after they got their ass kicked. If we can get a couple TOs and keep them around 100 yds rushing, we could win. This ones going to be tough. If Fields steps up and we can run the ball, maybe. I think 27-23 hoping we wun.

I think they are better than the national media projects them to be. For a GM to build thru the draft, it will be interesting to see how he spends 100 mil in FAgency. I suspect some of these cheaper players this year will earn more money as they become core players. If he doesn't overspend for FAs, who will be added?. I don't see him doing a Kirk contract, 17 mil for a #2 WR type. There is no high end WRs in f agency next year. juju or Lazard? That will be a draft pick. A few DTs and CBs but not a lot of stars. No LTs .it's going to be interesting.

He played 29 out of 68 snaps. Wait till he gains some experience. This could end up being Poles best pick this year.

I already did that and I realize that is a risky bet but I lots of times drink to much Bears coolaid. I won money on them last week, so at worst , it cancels out what I won.

I think with the way Nagy handled Justin last year, this is basically his rookie season. Im sure any great QB in his first and second yr took some hits on their future. He is a blue chip prospect and will continue to get better as he goes forward. I cant wait for the wow game where everything goes right for him. The coaching this year is so much better for teaching the game of football to a young team.

I originally picked 9 wins, have no reason to change it now, imagine if we beat the Packers. The worst team in the league will have beaten 2 of the top 4 teams in the NFC. 2-0 and the Packers 0-2.

I think its safe to say that even thou Mustifer has been okay, Patrick would be an upgrade over him at OC. This is capable of being a comptetent OL, maybe 16-20 rating on the low side, and top 10 on the upside.

I think Shocfield can play LG also. Leatherwood was listed as the backup RT, Im sure Shocfield can play RT until whatever injury Reiff has is healed.

I just read where the towel penality should have only been 5 yds instead of 15, we still could have kicked a FG. The refs screwed up.

I love these kinda of videos. I had a lot of doubts about the oline with so many young players but I think it is headed in the right direction. They got better as the game went on. I heard they changed some blocking assignments on the oline at halftime. Its great having good coaches. If this line grows with 3 and 4 young players starting, what a hell of a job by Poles.

Knowing what their defense does, Getsy will be able to make a plan that works. Only a few different players on D and he practiced against them all last yr. It will come down to TOs in this game. Also their leading tackler might be out this week, Quay Walker. 3 OL could be out, and Lazard. This game could be easier than we may ever imagine. Just think what the National press will say if we beat two of the top teams in the NFC.

If Green Bay runs the ball well, it will not be eas to win. Low penalties and a few TOs and we can have similar results.

I agree with what we have seen with the rookies and UDFAs plus FAs, definitly trust his judgement over mine.

If you look at 17:30 on that QB run, if Justin would have went outside instead of inside, he may have scored. Only one guy out there and he was being blocked. He got a penality on it so it turned out ok but he may have scored.

I find it interesting that what national media said were the worst teams in the League played well this weekend. Bears Houston Seahawks Falcons Jaguars Jets were the only team that lived up to bad.

I dont think they will blitz very much as long as they can get pressure from the front 4.

Team members said this was the hardest camp they have ever been in and I think it showed by their effort late in the game. Confidence is only going to make this team better with so many young players on the team. The young guys made mistakes but they never killed us. This is going to be an interesting year. I so hope we can beat GB next week just to hear the national media eat their words.
