5 Takeaways Season 77

by KingJohnIX | 2 years ago | 0 Comments

1:  The Bengals don’t have Joe Burrow and their offense shows it. Averaging a measly 12 points a game led to the release of Jarred Goff, will this help them? Probably not they send away a franchise QB for a load of picks and hopes of drafting a franchise QB.Will this move pay off only time will tell but they do seem to be ontrack for at least 2 top 10 picks, maybe even 2 top 5 picks.

 

2:  My early surprise disappointment has to be the Eagles. With a good roster out of the box and adding Christian McCaffrey to the offense I was expecting something a little more dynamic, but 28th in points scored and 29th in rushing and a  bottom half defense this could be a long season for the Eagles if they don’t figure it out soon.

 

3:  The early 3-0 surprises have to be Andy in San Francisco and Mayne in Buffalo. Andy is winning with a combination of offense and defense. He is not turning over the ball hardly at all right now and with great defense that is a recipe for success.  Mayne on the other hand is struggling a little bit holding onto the ball but he isn’t too worried about that as his defense is causing turnovers in droves.  His defense is putting him position to win games and that's just what he is doing

 

4:  You get an interception, you get an interception, everyone gets an interception. We currently have19 quarterbacks on pace to throw more than 25 interceptions this season. However, there are 5 quarterbacks that have thrown 2 or less interceptions through 3 games. So it is possible to play close to mistake free football, but decision making has to improve.

 

5: The AFC is the gauntlet it was advertised to be. WIth 8 teams currently sitting at 2-1 or better. There is no doubt in my mind that 10 wins will not got you into the playoffs in the AFC. With Mayne Event entering the fold as an early contender this Conference is going to be a dog fight moving forward. Who will keep their momentum and who will have it fade away as the first quarter of the season comes to a close this weekend?
