Can we all agree that this years team is not like last years team? This is an improved defense and an improved Oline. Now it could be simply rising to the occasion and playing Brady and the SB champs but they appear at least from game one, to have more fight and to be a tougher against the run. Not great by any means but improved. To go toe-to-toe with that team is a good sign of the what could be a good year ahead and perhaps the NFCE and just maybe a win in the playoff. Anything can happen once we get there.
To accomplish that we need to improve the run game and the kicking game. The kicking game alone we would have won game one.

Been saying it all offseason. This is a different team from the one that played last year on many different levels.

I'd like to, but not quite yet.
NFL seasons are wars of attrition and anything can happen.

I am very glad they got rid of Nolan for Quinn and I like what I saw from Dak, but we are just in the first throes of a very and I mean very long season.

for sure.
this is a good,young team.
we should win our division and make the post season.

but if we want to advance...we gotta score more in the red zone and when the clock is tickin down....we gotta close it out on defense.

but no doubt.
this is a better team.

Initial results are positive but my rule of thumb is to see at least 1/4 or 1/3 of the season before saying this

so ask me after 4-5 games

I liked the run stuffing. Coverage seemed to be spotty. Better marginally, maybe a bit better than that with the turnovers. It's great having QB1 back, and a solid offensive line. If we can stay healthy it should be a good season. I suspect the defense will continue to improve. The lack of pass rush is concerning though.

Like any of the Aliens vs Predator movies? The last Aliens movie that I watched was quite a while ago. Did I miss one somehow?

The first one was fun, if not very good.
I have my eye on Aliens: Covenant.


The fan edit of Prometheus is very good, I have to admit.

That is the stuff that improves over 3-4 games.
