After 4 games, almost a quarter of the season, you start to get an idea of what your team can do.

The Good:
Dak is playing really, really good. He was a slow burn for me. But he's playing like one of the best in the NFL.

Diggs is a baller. He's going to give up some because of his aggressive playing style. But the INTs are heartbreakers for the opposing offense. He's your best defensive player at the moment.

Parsons. Still a rookie. But his winning attitude is infectious. He's a star.

Elliott has rebounded in my opinion. I that he was outstanding in his role in the Tampa Bay game. He still looks like a really good lead back.

Oline looks good. Smith has been healthy. The Connor's both look good to me. Steele is a liability, but not like he could have looked. Zach Martin...securing his HOF jacket. Biadichfdfh...see below

OSA looks like a man at DT. I'm starting to think he might really be a player.

The Bad:
Our center looks completely outmatched. I expect him to improve, but he looks pretty rough out there.

Coaching: specifically the head coach. I'm happy with the play calling overall on both sides of the ball. From the play clock to literally mailing it in after the 3rd quarter, McCarthy has to be better. I would give McCarthy a straight up F if not for the fact that the team doesn't fold if we lose a player or two. It can't be overlooked that we are still a decent team despite having some players unavailable.

Bones and the Leg....haven't been good. I loved the hires, but dang. They've been awful. If Greg is Bones' guy, he should rethink their relationship. I'm hoping Greg just wasn't 100% healthy and he will improve. If he wasn't 100% healthy, shame on Bones.

Overall:
I thought we'd be 2-2 at this point. We've played some good teams and are sitting at 3-1. I think we have a ton of room for improvement. If McCarthy can keep the team from "eating the cheese" and keep them hungry (and fix his own brain cramps), we have a load of potential.
Agree on everything except Steele. He has played far better than expected. He's a starter on most NFL teams. We got lucky with him.

Rams read too many of their press clipping and got beat by the Cards today

A lot of 3-1 teams now.
Cards the only 4-0 team

Biadasz is playing good ball!! C. Williams played good today, I still say that we should start the McGovern at LG. McCarthy is getting all this hate for nothing, there's nothing wrong with his game management, stop listening to these commentators and media idiots. Just because they feel like we should do what they think does not make it right! Everyone that wants to criticize MM will pluck up royally if they were in his shoes. Romo is the best commentator in my opinion and I disagree with him when he said that we should have called timeout in the philly game, that was the player in him coming out, but really there was no need to call a timeout, and the week before in LA, if he says he couldn't see the clock then he couldn't see the clock, Brad Sham confirmed that the clock had some advertising stuff going on, that blocked out the clock.

Elliot didn't need to rebound lmao he was never gone and if needed and pollard wasnt here dak easily has 120 against lac and 150 against eagles and wells this game shows you he can still be zeke..he would be 2nd in the league in rushing right now if he was being fed vs sharing and sharing like a true teammate meaning not being disruptive and selfish.

young guys on defense parsons, diggs, Osa are the future and changing the culture here on defense..

the HC gets the same grade as the record , got it..hes had this team prepared and ready for every game..he in fact is 3-1 got it? maybe shoukd be 4-0

We rush for more than 200 yards against the No. 1 rushing defense with both backs averaging around 7 per carry and the center is outmatched? I'm sure he wasn't perfect, but seems to me that his play contributed to that running total.

I guess we would of gotten 300 with a better center.

I probably wasn't clear. I didn't mean that Zeke rebounded this game. I felt like his trajectory the last couple of years has been on a downward trend. I think he's played well all year. He looks rejuvenated. As far as the head coach, I'm not sure I understand the "got it" comment. Maybe you didn't mean that to sound as condescending as it did. I was discussing the good and bad for several different people. I didn't come here to just discuss being 3-1 and leave it at that. Otherwise, there's no point in having any discussion on any player/coach at all. They are all 3-1. But, McCarthy has made some decisions I felt were questionable. I do feel better knowing that he pulled Diggs for back tightness.

My thoughts are Big Mike is doing well ,

Garrett left a culture of drama queens, and Big Mike is fixing this team .

Yes, he needed to rebound. Him performing eliminates the need for excuses. Now he needs to make this type of performance more common. He does that and the criticism all but dries up expect for the outliers who will never be happy.

again im a zeke fan

take out the 2020 mulligan for team and coaches and zekes not lost a dang thing homie..again he easily could be 2nd in the league in rushing and has nit just been good has been impressive..hes shred the rock lie true teammate but if not hes had 3 games easily over 120 which the entire narrative of zeke hasn't got a 100 yard game could have ended 3 weeks ago..

fans will use his contract and those team stats to constantly hate on the man..he was and has been one of the best DC and best players in the nfl..

Zeke got screwed out of another rushing title by the commissioner. And, I'm completely down with a mulligan for 2020. I have zero complaints about Zeke this year. I'm not down on him at all.
