Bittersweet win. Earliest we've ever been to eight wins, that's for sure. But we're in a rough patch at our quarterback and you can see how well the running game works without the threat of a pass.

I doubt Yates has been fed much of the playbook or had many reps so let's see what his learning curve is like. I thought Yates was just slow reacting in several situations and could be much better once his brain gets used to the speed of the game.

Let's at least acknowledge what a change it is to rely on the defense to win a game instead of what it was like last year. But we definitely need to get Yates used to some bootlegs and play actions before next week.

I thought T.J. for being a rookie, and not having had many reps, did pretty well

I agree with NBT and Bob. I think Yates looked better throwing downfield, but I think Kubiak did not call any bootlegs for him other than the one in the endzone. IMO Kubiak just wanted to run the clock out. That almost cost us when the Jags made the QB move.

I Like Yates, but I do not see him winning in the playoffs yet either. If Leinart is out for any amount of time then go sign Jeff Garcia and get him into the meetings and on the practice field now.

Kubiak more or less said that in his post game. Wanted to make sure Yates came out "clean". Can't say I blame him with the luck we've had this year.....

GEEZ.
