I can't say I've been happier for an outcome since I saw Bruce do the "throat-slash" move against the 9ers in 99' ... honestly. It was a good day (I also got the finals in my two most important fantasy leagues) ...
I think we're seeing our offseason shape up as well. I am a huge Watkins fan, but if he wants to stay on an offensive powerhouse, he can't break the bank. Because flat out? Robert Woods gets more separation. I think Robert Woods and Marvin Jones may go down as the best "afterthought signings" of the decade. Both were 2s on their original team and turned out to have elite skills on their next team. So I'm fine with Kupp and Woods and Reynolds next year if Sammy wants 16 million per... ensuring Donald stays and locking up Gurley soon are my priorities. The tough part is that Quinn looks better every game .. restructure maybe with injury clauses and bonuses?
The Great1) That feeling of watching perennial a powerhouse come undone.
2) Holy Cow ... The D line against a flailing O line
3) Gurley ... 4 TDs ... gets him on the books. Puts him in the running for MVP or OPOY
4) Oh my LORD Pharoh Cooper.
5) Woods route running and playing at full speed after the injury.
6) Donald hat trick. Goodness. Guess we have to pay him.
7) May not seem like a huge thing, but for me, McVay pulling everyone over and settling them down in the late 3rd quarter (IIRC) was a huge vet coach move and made me trust him even more.
The Good8) Joyner consistently making big plays ... kinda surprised he wasn't at least an alternate for the pro bowl.
9) Robey Coleman playing some stout, mean, hard hitting, fast football.
10) Offensive line play. They seemed to really settle in. Can't believe we've started the same five all year.
11) Jared ... grip that ball, buddy.
12) Having a tiny cushion ... being able to lock up the division this week.
13) That feeling of potentially knocking Seattle out of the playoffs.
The Bad14) Kupp's drop. So it's a Seattle thing?
15) Anyone else have anything here? I'm running out of negatives. maybe that we didn't involve Everett and Reynolds more once it got out of hand?
No Ugly ...
Anyone seeing any college standouts? Kinda feel like I'm repeating myself at this point ...
