Several pressures, one of which led to a pick.
The plays they have shown him on Redzone he's been pretty much stoned on every snap. His first snap he got a little pressure.

His stat line shows 0 tackles/0 assists/0 QB hits/0 sacks/Passes defensed

Broncos with turnover # 4, Titans hanging in there and now have short field.

Pack TD, game over.

You must've missed his garbage time sack, hater.

Yeah....we're on a mission to minimize what he means to a D. He forces double teams and has to be accounted for on every play. Truth be told, GB's defense was legit without Micah but it might be unstoppable when they figure out how to use him. It looked like they're going to give him limited snaps so he doesn't flame out by the end of the season. BUt the guy's a talent.

A few quick hits from today:

The fact that Aaron Rodgers vs. Justin Fields was far and away the most entertaining quarterback matchup I find both surprising yet encouraging for the season as a whole.
Derrick Henry is still ridiculously good. Way to fuck up there Jerry.
Top rookie receivers had decent to good days. Top rookie running backs, in the eyes of the beholder.
Is the Lions offense still as good without Ben Johnson? Today opened up the question.
The fact that Daniel Jones had a 25 point margin of victory is funny as hell.
If Denver had been playing damn near anyone else they'd have gotten killed.
If Dallas faces the Giants team that was on the field today they'll have no excuses.

I don't see anyone really minimizing what he meant to our D.

That said, he's replaceable. Might take us awhile, but he is replaceable.

By the way, I didn't watch the network broadcast but saw plenty of clips on NFL RedZone, I don't know that the Lions double teamed him once yesterday. His impact on that game was minimal and the Packers would have won going away had he not played a single snap.

Daniel Jones led his team to scoring drives on EVERY possession yesterday. No kneel downs or end of half run out clocks. EVERY possession they scored.

Miami laid one of the biggest opening day eggs in modern league history. NFL Network said they confirmed with their stat people that a game like that had never happened previously.

That odd nerd fucker looking dude McDaniel is on his last legs there in Fishland me thinks.

Sounds like Wilson played so bad that his era is going to be over after one week.

Won't be surprising if rookie Jaxson Dart starts vs us and I would have much preferred Kumar.

NYG were also missing both starting OT's, I think they are both expected to play against us.

Some context around this, Philly only dropped back 24 times (we had 10 or 11 pressures there) and the Stealers faced a similar number. Giants were missing both starting OT's vs Redstinks so high pressure rate was to be expected. Donkos had probably the most impressive pass rush day, getting 6 sacks on 34 drop backs along with a high pressure rate.

He had a nice 1st game as a starter. Definitely something to build on. Hard to believe its been barely a yr since the ACL tear.

They chipped and double teamed him almost every snap he played. And how is Micah replaceable? When was the last time we had that type of player on our roster? Ware? Haley? They are rare talents.

4 postseason games, 1 sack.

Haley didnt post the kind of numbers Parsons did but he was also a major factor in the postseason. Haley also did what he did despite battling major back problems.

Ware was a better player than Parsons was/is. He had no less than 4 seasons with as many or more sacks than Parsons had in any season (including years with 20, 15.5 and 19.5 sacks) and generated quite a few turnovers with forced fumbles (32 forced fumbles his first 8 yrs here, Parsons had a total of 9 in 4 seasons). All of Ware's seasons were only 16 gams as well (Parsons has 3 seasons of the 17 game format) Ware also produced in his playoff games.

And I don't care how people feel about Parsons the player, Parsons turned into a 100% fucking turd here. He can eat shit for all I care.

He's got that back problem probably keeping them from fully integrating him. Plus it does take time to learn a new system.
