We are 3-0 and people are still complaining about Tomlin? Lol. I have criticized him in the past, but he's won me over these last couple years. The guy has done a great job at squeezing the maximum amount of wins with some abysmal QB play. Yes, I know he hasn't won a playoff game in a long time, but overall he is a top 5 coach in the league, imo.
Show me where what I said was wrong.

Playing not to lose is not a recipe for winning a Superbowl or in the playoffs. His playoff record is not bad luck. It is built into the game plan.

Nice to win these games. But it does not change the truth of my comment.

It's almost like using the middle of the field is a benefit. Been so long since I've seen it I had almost forgotten.
Yeah and if teams are going to play more cover 2 then you get free completions over the middle of the field.
Neither Indy or Dallas can stop the run could be a muth and ca3 party against them no line backers.
I do think Wilson should play over Jefferson

How about a big CLAP for B Jones??? Dude balled out. People forget the kid was raw coming out of college and still hasn't played a full NFL season.

Bust?? lol

Who is the poster here that repeatedly assured us that Fields would be a disaster? He may not turn out to be the answer but he's been doing what he needs to do to win. A huge improvement from last year.

He must be miserable seeing Fields succeed.
There were several; I could send you a screenshot of my ignore list

I hate that we've got to go most of the season before we see this team get really tested. Having a lot of young growing players and a murderer's row on defence might even get me mildly optimistic in this season where apparently most teams have forgotten how attack works.

Fields has been tremendous. They need to find a #2 that demands a bit of respect. That would help the cause. We also have to upgrade RB. Najee and Warren have been pedestrian, IMO. They really need to find a dynamic RB for this offense in the offseason. I like the general offensive concepts, but I don't think it has the right pieces.

Another game where I thought Frazier and Benton were noticeably great. Jackson and Elliot were awesome adds to the secondary. Nick Herbig may make Highsmith expendable. This dude is a superstar.

Fields is improving but this schedule was always going to be qb proof through the bye. They were going to be 6-2 regardless of the QB.

Pretty much nobody was more dynamic than Warren last season though. Hell, both were top 5 for yards after contact.

If those guys are looking utterly pedestrian then I'm looking at the concepts ahead of the players.

Fields is game managing decently well. Better than I expected. But no one is worried about him, really. Shut down the run and force him to win with his arm, and the offense doesn't really do much. Fortunately for this offense, the defense is top class.

I disagree with this. San Diego was definitely doing things to keep him contained, and I think it helped the unit in general. He also made some really great throws into tight windows.

They really just need better talent for him to throw to right now. WRs aren't getting separation.

That's easy for you to say.
We are 3-0 because of the defense JF has 2 passing tds and a 3rd running in 3 games. Atlanta is a dumb call from Philly to being 0-3. Denver wasn’t even a threat

You set up this strawman argument days ago to diminish Fields performance. Sad
Malik willis is putting up numbers in Greenbay maybe they shouldn’t have paid Love
