The franchise. Just about the only player that makes the team watchable.

I've always believed that if Philip has to throw the ball more than that we're in trouble.
If he can sit anywhere between 20-26, it means the ground games working and D is defending.

Exactly. The D is rested when we are dominating time of possession due to the ability to run the ball. It excites me to think we have a bellcow RB that may be able to get us 100 yards a game and milk the clock. Rivers always kills it when we can run the ball. Its all about chunk plays when we can run the ball. Wear out opponents and keep our D fresh. And this defense can be scary in the takeaway department. We have a really solid secondary.

Yes as much as I like Rivers getting headlines for 400 yard games it means we are playing behind and are in trouble on defense. Id like to see balance and more 10 yard pass plays to the TE's vs the screens but we have been pretty effective so far getting downfield. Benjamn is now a deep threat that should draw a safety deep so that opens up the midfield plays to the wrs and TEs.

That was not an easy catch Benjamin made for the TD. I'd like to see that 40 yard pass to him in single coverage more often.

Rivers is the man, but man I wish he could have his team healthy for a season, we know there are always injuries but we have bad luck with guys out for a few weeks to straight IRed.

Reading that, and seeing Rivers get basically the same score as Bortles, was all I needed to know about their scoring system. Dumb.
