There were several games against lesser opponents where we found ourselves asking the question, did QB1 do enough?

Did those, I think, lessen over time, especially toward the end of the season and the playoffs?

Yes.

But you want that beginning of the season to start a lot stronger than it did first five or six games last year.

Runner's ball, screen game.

I agree.

I think a big part of it, too, is it's kind of like what you talked about, Mark, when the Bears got away a little bit from scoring on the opening drive.

You know, when you get in these tough situations late in games, great that you came back, but I think that that would be something that if I'm Ryan Poles, I'm probably looking at in upcoming games and seeing how often the offense hits on those opening drives.

And you brought that up, too.

Okay.

Okay.

3-1-2 makes an excellent point here on the text line.

Completion percentage.

And those are the only words in that text.

Now, were they able to overcome it to the point where they almost got to the NFC Championship game?

Yes, they were.

But at the same time, that is something they have to work on.

Let's face it, you'd take 60%.

60% would be an improvement.

815 asks, are they going to contest with the league for the picks from Cunningham leaving?
