Because I have never seen a young QB in his starting debut make such a variety of throws with such accuracy, audible at the line of scrimmage and do the right thing through out a game, and his presser made everything alright and I would imagine he has the same effect on the locker room and if you do not feel the same...

I'm pissed about the fact we lost a game due to poor, scared coaching decisions in what would have been our first win, at home vs a division rival (with plenty of their loud, obnoxious fans present). But, in the long-run, still more to be excited about than disappointed about given Rosen's performance.

I am actually past getting frustrated and angry at the coaches, since they have proven their ineptitude way before this game.

I am more frustrated with our wide receivers. CATCH THE BALL. Its prime directive #1 for NFL wide receivers.

We've got a long way to go. We're going to need a lot of offense in the NFL in 2019 and likely beyond. With a slew of young QB's, many of them performing decently to amazing added to the staple list of good to greats, it's a high scoring man's league.

We've scored 37 points after four weeks.

12 teams have scored over 100 (8 >110). Tops is 140. (still have MNF with Chiefs which could end up topping that)

7 more teams are between 90-99.

5 more between 80-89.

3 teams that are below 80 have only played 3 games (byes or MNF) and are in the 60's or 70's.

The other 31 teams have scored 2943 points on 120 offenses outputs in 60 total games.

Taking us out of the equation, the rest of the NFL is averaging 24.5 PPG.

With us the league is average 24.0 PPG which when compared against the #1 scoring year, is .6 PPG higher than the #1 year 2013 (23.4). 2nd place is 1965 with 23.1. 3rd place 22.9 in 1959. 4th and 5th place 22.8 in 2015 and 2012.

Granted 4 weeks isn't alot, and things can change, but we're at a huge deficit. Rams are already >100 points scored over us. Chiefs will likely join them after tonight if they score 20 points which would bring them to 138.

As of now five teams are averaging > 30 points, 2 > 35, 1 @ 34.3, and one of those over 35 (through 3 games) is at 39.3.

Only four other teams besides us are averaging under 20 points, and we're under 10 (9.3).

But as of now, with their 3 versus our 4 games, the Chiefs are exactly averaging 30 more points per game than us 39.3 vs 9.3.


Our offense is so behind anyone else its unreal. McCoy needs to open it up more for Rosen beyond even last game, and guys need to catch the ball.

Broncos had him for 11 games last year before being fired.

They scored 183 points for 16.6 PPG. Skewed by one 42 points performance. He also was shutout in a game.

McCoy has lost his last 10 games as offensive coordinator.

If he can't do it, when we switch coaches OC/HC/whatever, we need an creative and innovative offensive mind directing our offense.

Feel much the same. Hated the loss but Rosen has me very hopeful for the future. His presser was great. He takes responsibility and refuses to blame anyone else for the loss or a bad play. More than I can say for the coaching staff.

I wouldn't say I am feeling great, but that is more related to the Dierks Bentley show Saturday followed by game on Sunday but I digress....

I am still in awe of how well Rosen threw yesterday and how unaffected he was by the importance of the moment. I watched him play a ton at UCLA and his throwing has, somehow, gotten even better. The passes that were dropped were so well thrown that I wonder how much of that was caused by surprise.

Could we really be set at QB for the next decade plus? That has literally never happened with this franchise.

I thought that mostly the passing plays were down field quite a bit more than in the first three games (play calling or qb?). Also, the running plays appeared to be a more aggressive style (except for maybe the last three?).

I thought the offense came out to start the second half way flat and too conservative. No adjustments made or needed to be made at the half or ???

that was the best QB performance since Kurt went gonzo on the Packers in that OT playoff classic.

Dude throws THE prettiest spiral I've ever seen on the Cardinals.

i've been doing it for two years.

we did nothing about it after a season where Smoke was mysteriously injured all year and we cut our other WR after he was found passed out drunk in his car.

And then we did NOTHING the next season except taking a super raw 3rd round rookie.

There have been soooooooo many veteran options out there. Alshon Jeffrey two years ago (who signed for a one year deal), Jordan Matthews, the guy up in Oakland who used to play for the Packers. And on and on... available guys who didn't break the bank.

And yet we still depend on rookies and do nothing of note in FA. Just freaking weak.

You are not kidding here. First game I've been stone sober for in a long time and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first. I was trying to find a comparison all game long and just couldn't think of one. He doesn't throw like Kurt did, it's much more graceful. But his demeanor on the field was even more impressive.

The only thing that bugs me out is McCoy and Wilks are fired then Rosen has to start over again with a new offense.

It is not like he is learning anything now, with this coaching staff.
I kid I kid.:)

I'm upset on how we lost the game and especially with Dawson. McCrane was better than him in the preseason yet we went with Dawson.
