Brady is the only qb who looks not to be much effected by pressure. He gets the ball off split seconds before the D can get to him. Even Manning will throw picks if you can get to him.

That's because Brady it really a robot.  :-D

It is definately the running game that needs to show up it will help the whole offense in general especially the line.

For me it has to be the lack of running game. I think part of the reason why Mcnabb was pounded all night because because the team passed every down. I don't know if it's as important as it was last week to get a running game, because the Niners stink, but it's definitely something that needs to happen sooner or later.

Great point...and with Bryant Young and Julian Peterson on the other side of the ball, I don't see the running improving much this week.  Plus, with McNabb hurting are we really going to be able to have a decent passing game?  This is why I think we'll lose.  The 49ers were pathetic last year...but this is NOT last year's team.  I watched that game last week and they crushed the Rams...the only reason the game was close is because of the POS running back they have who kept fumbling the ball.

Man, the Falcons have a much, much bettter D than the Niners. We aren't gonna' lose this one. McNabb will bounce back.

Many problems but most of them should clear up with good coaching.   We have alot of young receivers and a young Offensive lineman.  I think some stupid penalties and bad line play are going to happen early in the season.

McNabb looked good early but I think the shot in the chest took him down a notch.  He was obviously grimacing with throwing. 

This brings up a major concern of mine which is a major lack of confidence in the back-up QB position.  Koy Detmer is basically a College Head Coach in training not a true back-up.  The guy is smaller than me in weight and height which is just sad for a NFL QB.  We need a halfway decent QB as a back-up.  Is that Mike Mcmahon?  I don't know, he played OK with Detroit sometimes, but I'd feel a lot more confident if we had a Testaverde, Trent Dilfer, or Gus Ferrotte or some mediocre but proven Veteran who won't panic in times of need.

Donovan also has to be willing to leave the pocket and run instead of forcing the ball to TO in triple coverage. I'm also still not sold on LJ Smith's hands.
