We escaped 0-2, barely

...>>>>most teams playing Chargers and Bucs, would be 0-2. ;)...
 
Honestly feel like we should be 1-1 but with the teams we won and lost to reversed....

Seven games were decided by 3 points or less in week two. It's the NFL - lots of "barely" going on out there.

Yep and that one last night decided by 1 point was one for the ages. Man, what a game so early in the season.

Greg Zuerlin’s 56 yard field goal as time expired stamped out the forbidden start to the season we had feared. It also stamped out the horrid game clock Mgmt in final sequence in drive as Prescott led a 49 yard to set up the kick.

Chargers gifted us a turnover on horrid pass in the end zone and penalties thwarted scoring opportunities on 2 TD’s called back providing an opportunity for final winning drive .

Throughout a season you need games you probably shouldn’t have won. But we did just enough and took advantage . But the final kick bailed out an otherwise game heading to a loss.

We’ll take it. Avoiding 0-2 is huge. We hadn’t started 0-2 since 2010. Now we come home to 3 straight under our own roof and will be favored in all with only one( Panthers) with a winning record.

An 0-2 record would have presented many challenging issues and concerns moving forward. Now we can be more optimistic looking to be 5-1 or 4-2 at the bye instead of struggling to reach .500.

Should be 2-0 right now.

We definitely could be 2-0 but I’m not sure we should be.

No doubt winning the turnover differential is the story early in this season or we’d probably be 0-2.

Often it’s a mark of a good team finding a way to win when you’re an underdog or not having your best performance.

I think most fans would have taken 1-1 when the schedules came out.

Not to mention all of the key injuries/bogus suspensions the team has had to deal with. Our opening schedule could’ve only been tougher if we had opened with both the Bucs and Chiefs on the road. We’ve gotten two of our tougher road games out of the way right off the bat and were in a position to win both. I’ll take it.

That’s a fair view. I’d agree . And I’ll take 1-1.

While I had more confidence after last weeks performance I was really concerned coming into this matchup with all of our injuries and drama . And as I sat there watching it unfold late in 2nd half thought it was Chargers game to win.

I’m very pleased. I felt 0-2 was a strong possibility.

why focus on negatives? We could of won both games, not many teams are dominate.. Big Mike has us on a trajectory to get better and better and not so predictable.. I know you've been beaten down by the freckled puppet and Jethro, but a new sheriff is in town and he knows how to win..

And we missed 2-0 barely
We are as close to 2-0 as 0-2

That’s not how I normally roll. I haven’t had a half full glass in decades. I’ll leave the cheerleading to others.

And Fat Mikey hadn’t provided me much to get excited about yet. Unless this defense continues creating turnovers.
