I noticed our safeties were close to the LOS a lot in the 2nd half to counter them pesky screen plays.

I saw Ebukam intentionally stall his pass rush and hold Higbee. It broke up a screen pass to Higbee.

I think that's what Bosa meant. They stopped just rushing to read-react to any screens and dropped out as needed. Not positive though.
Now if we can only play the Rams every week.

Up 31-14, with 4:43 left, we had our last possession of the game. Naturally, we'd run the ball between the tackles 3 times to run the clock down.

First, why was CMC still in the game? Second, why was Kyle handing CMC the ball in meaningless carries up the middle during garbage time? Seems a little reckless.

This

it goes back to almost blowing the Lions game last year after JV was injured with 7 min left he pulled all the starters. Kyle vowed never to pull players early again.

"I think a little bit. I think I did too. Anytime you give a team a chance to get back in the game like that—it starts with me. When that happened to (Jason Verrett) JV I think about at the seven-minute mark, I know I became too concerned with protecting our guys as opposed to doing whatever you have to do to win. What you have to do is play every single down like it's the last down the whole game. Got a little caught up when we lost JV. Fortunately, we were able to pull it out."

I don't see an NFC team we could not beat right now... maybe the Eagles.

We don't match up well at all against Philly. Kyle would need some extra wizardry and the defense would need its best game to pull out that one, IMO.

It really is nice to be in the NFC right now. Bunch of young stud QBs in the AFC that aren't going anywhere soon.

Yup, we struggle badly against running QBs

Philly D is pretty good.
Philly's turnover margin is +14 right now. They've only turned the ball over twice in 7 games and have forced 16. Pretty impressive, but probably not sustainable.
First game of the season to actually feel good about
