Better running game this year(only 3 games) and a more mature head will help.
Vonn Miller back on healthier legs my happiest take away thus far. Good to Damar Hamlin get his first INT. Who would have thought last January he'd be doing that?

Lot of good young QBs in the league now.

Trevor Penning needs to sit out a game or two. I'm an Eagles homer, but like the Saints, but what Penning did combined with his history leads me to believe that he's Aaron Hernandez deux.

I think Williams needs more then 3 games before you write him off.

He's not the issue. O-line is the issue. And Eberflus. And Poles. And McCaskey.

But if they don't protect him, they are going to ruin him. He's a rookie.

The number of teams that do this to guys is amazing.
The Pro game is faster. The defenses are stronger, faster, and smarter than the best the rookie QB has ever seen.
There are many more things to absorb on each play.
And yet, team after team throws a rookie out there behind a shoddy line that allows no time to think, absorb, or develop and then calls the guy a bust, drafts a new one, repeats, and wonders why they can't develop a QB.
It starts with protection. Period.

I always thought the O line and D line are misnamed.

O line defends the QB as it's first job on passing plays

D Line is attacking the play makers.

As a former DL this is exactly how we think - we attack, the o line defends (the skill player(s))

When a team runs the ball effectively it's amazing how it breaks the opposing team. Travis Henry looked great, but it's still September

Travis kelce looked good, but that's different

Question

Is everyone an eligible receiver on a screen play?
A lot of close games, this league does things very well to keep the fans,most of whom have never played the game as an adult engaged. Bills just about to unload on Seattle I hope.
