That drag route to Percy is so money, especially when unlimited Wilson runs are on the table.
BTW, pretty obvious why Wilson's runs open up in must-score situations. No reason to expose him like that unless you have to have it -- been that way his entire time here. Keeps teams off-balance late in games, too, because they're not used to defending it the whole game. I think they utilize perfectly as is.
Lynch -- irreplaceable. Pay that man in his money (in my Teddy KGB voice).
Lockette's turning into a legit NFLer before our very eyes. One of the better late-bloomer stories out there.
Again, this was a great one. You can nitpick stuff to death, but Denver is the AFC's gold standard, and they came with something to prove today. Sometimes the other team does good stuff, too. Seattle withstood their best effort and will be atop Tuesday's "Power Rankings" as the NFL's best.
Excellent posts Kearly. This one is great from D7. People use to complain about our lack of break away speed at receiver. We now have two of the fastest in the league. I don't remember seeing a lot of dropped balls by Lockette either. On of our old bugaboos. Also, there's been comments about our lack of height. Lockette is 6'3".
I also like the way we have Wilson run a lot late in games. I would also point out that the defensive players are just too tired to run him down like they might be able to earlier. It's like he uses rope a dope and has them chase him around a fair amount all game but he doesn't seem to be tired at the end and they do.
At this point, we have survived Rogers, Rivers and Manning and will face probably Kirk Cousins next game. (Who didn't make the plays at the end of the Eagles game to win) We seem to be healthier than a lot of teams. I think we'll see a more effective deep ball return. Russell has been dogged by the likes of DeMarcus Ware, Clay Matthews and Dwight Freeney. He won't always have to elude so many speed pass rushers. I'm delighted right now.
