Also apparently the first game in NFL history where 3 TEs on the same team scored TDs.

Get this defense fixed next yr with a couple of pieces and this is a scary team

This is a fun team. Yes, it has flaws. But Reich has this team moving in the right direction.

Last year was so godawful I could bearly watch it. The effort, the play calling, the players make me want to root for them.

Im pumped

Certainly more exciting.

the Jets game is the only one this year that has really pissed me off

I was mad about the Eagles and the Bengals games, but was still fun to watch.

Every single game last year except the Buffalo snow game was like misery, just waiting for them to blow it in the 4th quarter somehow

Need one, preferably two receivers. Their inability to get separation against this Raiders secondary is telling.

Dickey was traded during that season (to the Browns), and played very sparingly prior to the trade.

In addition to McMillan they had Albert Bentley, George Wonsley, and Owen Gill as main players in the backfield that year.

Did Hilton get separation today? He wasn't really open on his ONE catch today. Is that 3 catches in his last 2 games. Like I said - he disappears too much.

Hamstring injuries are no joke

Yeah, this offense doesn't need much else to be truly legit on a consistent basis. Just need some better WR's that have better hands and a piece or two on the offensive line (which has been great as of late). We have an elite QB, we have what seems to be a solid stable of RBs, and we have good TEs.

This team has shown me more this season to be excited about going forward than the last 3-4 seasons combined despite the fact this may be a 5-11 or 6-10 team.

In that case, I would guess that McMillan was the main contributor.
