So this is good? Or we won’t talk about it because it’s a W?

 

    We should have hung a 40 burger on them. We did win by 2 scores, and by double digits. Is that not enough?

 

    TB has a pretty good front 7. It's not like we thought we could steam roll them. Or at least I don't think many folks thought that.

The last two turnovers were at the end of the game where we didn't try to do too much.  Just running the clock out.  I have no problem with those in a two possession game under 2 minutes.

20 points on the other 5 isn't bad.  Two short field tds and 2 fgs.

Our investments in the defense are paying dividends as they should be. Especially with a defensive mind in place like Rivera for as long as he has been here. This is what we are supposed to be seeing. We need to maintain that for the season now.

New England is New England, we don't have Tom Brady. He controls that offense on the field and knows how to keep the chains moving and keep Top better than any other QB playing.

Lmao really? Baltimore? I mean sure if you closed your eyes and ignored them after week 2 but their offense has struggled since and they've been putting up close games. They almost lost to Pittsburgh last week.

Kansas City *is* their offense. They *need* to score high. They are built around scoring high. And even then, look at the last two weeks.

Dallas, again, lol. Look at who they played the first 3 weeks. A combined 3 wins amoungst them and that's because two of those teams they beat are playing each other today.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here but Philly didn't even "put away teams" in their super bowl season. They sure as fug aren't doing it now.

Sean Peyton is easily the second best coach behind Bellicheck.  And even he doesn't go into attack attack attack mode like you (and a lot of people) seem to think. He plays the clock very well.

I get it. It's nerve wracking. But it's a common trend in the NFL. No one just runs up the score and goes into kill mode with every turnover.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
