    HAHA, lets see. We have 7 1st round draft picks and a second invested in the offense. We trade so many draft picks away to win now. We pay to get rid of Clowney and get basically nothing back. What do we get for all of this? A 4-3 record. Our wins, a lucky win against Jacksonville, a bad San Diego team, a bad Atlanta team, and a "signature" win again a KC team with injured QB. When Obrien gets fired. our team will be shambles and have no depth at all.

    Conley has real talent.

    Ohio St has put out some great CB's lately. There's a reason he was a first rd draft pick.

    How about this...go root for the Cowboys or Saints. You don't have to worry about this "mediocre" Franchise.

    I still wonder if having someone other than BOB as offensive coordinator has made the difference.

    Are we even sure that BoB isn't calling the plays?

    The play calling was really good again today. It seems like they struggle for a couple games and then remember to call the plays that Watson is good at running. We saw play action, RPO, roll outs, designed QB runs, throws to the tight end and RB on the outside, quick slants. The stuff that we call for every week. Next game look for 1st down runs up the middle and pocket passes.

    Pretty sure he is playing the long game and the first play in the Super Bowl will be a screen pass to a running back.

    He might be, but maybe our offensive coordinator has come up with better ideas, mixing it up with tight ends, and other routes than run run pass to Hopkins scheme of last year.

    I love the creativity. That fake jet sweep to Stills with an off tackle to Hopkins right behind it was great for the red zone. It could fail, but it could work big. The motion stuff we're doing is working really well, and I have yet to see a team out the clamps on the RPO type play we run between Watson and Fells. That's great stuff.

    Don't look now, but our offense is actually rolling, from a stars perspective. People can no longer say that O'Brien is an offensive guru that can't coach the offense. He's proven that, for the most part (this season and Watson's rookie year), this team can operate at an elite level on offense with Watson.

    Let's see. Years of Hoyer, savage, fitzpatrick, etc. We could have drafted garrapollo instead of suafilo. Where would we be now?

    BoB knows what he’s doing being down 31-3 to a 4-8 team at home at halftime. Isn’t that right @Mr.Scarface

    No where. BoB can't coach offense consistently it seems.

    I do apologize for not being here last week to say that the NE game was a farce. NE had a bad offense and the flu bug so really a non signature win. To all my detractors, 2nd blowout with watson and a loss to a team whose coach got fired in midseason. Are you sure he knows what he is doing
