I expect a massive bounce back game on Mon night. The whole organization was embarrassed and there are too many good leaders on the squad to suffer another flat performance.

I think they come out and win convincingly and get this taste out of their mouths.

Agreed.

Sometimes the element of suprise really helps a team, witten will still get snaps anyway.
You take Witten off the floor and you tipping you hat to what the play going be.

You can't take Witten off the field. He's a staple in the offense and what we do. Behind Zeke he's our second most important weapon

Carson Palmer is the epitome of a statue in the pocket. If we can't put pressure on him all day, I'm not sure we can pressure anyone. Without David Johnson, they should be fairly easy to defend. We'll see. We should be extremely aggressive on defense next week and put pressure on Palmer every damn play. There's no need to sit back in a soft zone and let him play comfortably. But, I doubt we'll play that way because we just play too cautiously on defense.

After the embarrassing display in mile-high I have little confidence we might even show up. Back to back games and the offense can't score 20 points... something is wrong. I don't want to hear bout the good defenses we played, the Charges scored 21 points against Denver and I'm pretty confident the Lions will probably score 20+ against the Giants.

The offense needs to show up. Sorry but the defense is what it is. We all knew it was going to be a weakness. The offense is supposed to be this team's strength and they have to improve drastically and quickly and that includes the coaching staff.

Like I said witten will get his snaps. Of course with a 4 receiver set we are most likely passing, the fact is it will still throw defenses off. Mixing it up a little can really help a team

No way you can take Witten off the field. He's been Dak most reliable consistent target

Also Dak knows if he can't get the first down, then get some added yards, as Jones has been exceptional as a punter and changing field position. Our problem is a good team will march down the field on us, and unlike prior years we could tighten up and hold to 3 when yesterday
we gave us 4 TDs to a QB. First time since 2013....

Garrett is embarrass proof. He did not lose one second sleep last night.
He knows his job is safe no matter the results, year after year.

We can only hope that yesterday will make Dak and the staff work hard on making defenses pay for stacking the box. Because all Defenses are going to try and do what Denver did, until Dak and the offense can make them pay for it.

It took Arizona OT to beat a pathetic Indy team. And they still only scored 16 points!!! Indy is one of the worst 3 teams in the league right now. They'll be better once Luck gets back on the field, but they're bad and their defense is terrible. If we actually show up, beating Arizona should not be that tough. The team should be embarrassed and come out with a purpose. We'll see how they respond. However, a loss next Monday will be a very bad sign.

I think we will be less afraid of the Cardinals pass rush and willing to run against them. My big concern is Garrett reverts back to full pre-2014 mode where we abandon the run one week and everybody complains and then he over-does it by running too much the next week.
