Now I don't fear any team, bring them on.

Garrett has a foot injury.(I think).

Pretty crazy that an off day for our offense still means 34 points and over 200 yards rushing.

Kingsbury is cooking.

I'm going to miss my mid-season 202x NFL mock draft post. We're going to be in this race all season for the division. At this point, if we didn't make the playoffs altogether, it would be a huge disappointment.

7 home games left still. 9 games probably gets you in the playoffs. 10 is a lock. 6-6 the rest of the way puts us at 10 wins.

I'm still trying to process how good Jayden is already.

This seriously doesn't feel real how good of a start we're off to. I'm looking forward to this week vs. Baltimore more than any game we already played or have scheduled, until 11/24/2024 vs. Dallas (this game is going to be fucking rocking. Probably haven't looked forward to a game that much since RG3's rookie season). This should be a great test at Baltimore. On the road in a loud environment, against a good team, and a duel-threat QB. We win this game, and yeah, I'm thinking 11 or 12 wins.

Might be...

This team will face adversity at some point - injuries, a bad day, bad luck, whatever it is, adversity is coming at some point, but 10 wins does seem like it might be a conservative estimate after 5 weeks.

Yesterday may not have been full blown adversity, but it was a good test for Jayden facing a DC like Schwartz and he easily passed.

You see how good JD is after you see how poorly Marcus Mariota played. Sure he cam off the bench but he was negative 2 yards for the day.

FF makes a good point here. JD is a mobile QB that has improved in taking less-impactful hits as compared to the first Tampa game. However, with that said, a better backup that could run the offense should be a priority for WHEN, not if, JD gets nicked.

Mariotta was the only concern I had after after yesterday's game. Not asked to do anything of import, and did less than that. A little insurance at this point would not be a bad idea.

Mariotta is coming off an injury, which why it was probably nice that he got some snaps. He was probably shaking the rust off a bit.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Mariota is a 'more than serviceable' QB2. Ideally, we don't see him on the field much this year, but that was a great opportunity to get him some snaps.

The way JD is playing, no one is going to come in and do what he does. There will be a drop off at that position (obviously). However, if DQ can get Mariota some game snaps when these opportunities arise, that will help.

Can they still do that? I'm in a bind this Sunday and hope the flex the game to SNF.

CBS protected that game
