yes. As long as our defense plays the way it does we always be in games.

I still think we can win the NFCE. Jaguars hung in with the Eagles today. They self destructed with turnovers when in scoring position, or that gave Eagles great short field positions.
I think they got some stuff on film that can be used to game plan the Eagles better.
Our OL is improving but I think they can still be better in run blocking.
Run defense is still very suspect. They need to get that cleaned up.
Yes, Rush is 3-0, but today he did not look as sharp as the other games. Not that he was showing anything elite those games.
As long as we get the defense and pass rush going strong, they can contend.

If Kellen keeps the same simpler offensive game plan, absolutely. IMO, he gets too cute when Dak is in and asks him to do too much.

These next two games will tell us more about the defense. Still giving up over 5 ypc. The offense hasn't faced much adversity yet. If the defense keeps this up they won't. I doubt anyone would've believed this team would even win a game rushing for 62 yards with Cooper Rush at QB... much less by 15.

40M says you have to do more than simple stuff.

Cincy is 2-0 since we played them and has looked pretty solid. NYG were 2-0 when we beat them and are now 3-1. Maybe not the elites of the football world, but I wouldn't say it's been weak competition.

So we need to have a simple game plan with a 40m QB. Yikes.

Good question.
Looks like Egirls could be the better team overall this year as I suspected going in to this season. Definitely have the most explosive offense in division .
We should learn more in a couple weeks.

And that’s what we’ve been doing with Rush.

Not sure our run D is good enough. Going to need to get leads and get the pass rush going.

But your posts implies that simplifying a game plan is a negative thing with Dak. It’s not.

We can contend for the playoffs because the NFC is weak.
Outside of Philly and LA Rams (who we'll see next week), every other team has its weaknesses.
The good thing is we know Philly. The bad thing is they know us.
So I think we have a chance to steal, at the least, a wildcard spot.
But in the playoffs, you need a complete team, and great coaching. And I have no confidence in Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy.

Winning is simple, losing can get very complicated.

Can Clark come back and play by the end of the season? Probably too much to hope for. LVE is just bad. I feel like Parsons isnt playing fully healthy right now.
