Def Jewel was the MVP. IIRC he had a INT and a fumble recovery, or a forced fumble. Those were critical. 

Chubba did really well but we're almost expecting that to happen. 

Wonnum showed up. 

Our rookies did okay but nothing spectacular. JT Sanders almost had another TD.

Bryce is managing the game but didn't put up great stats. Good decisions mostly,  did have a few errant passes. But no turnovers from him was a big plus.

I'd say a key stat to this game is Bryce went 1 TD 0 INT and Daniel Jones went 0 TD 2 INT 

Winning this game dropped us all the way to #9 on the draft board for now.  The Giants also shot up to #1 on the draft board by LOSING to us. So it was a pretty damn important game for draft positioning. Giants fans are probably rejoicing that they're that much closer to replacing Daniel Jones.

Saints and Patriots also won, so it’s not a huge hit.

He will. That’s what PFR considers a GWD. I mean technically it is one. 

Technically it is. Honestly he limited mistakes against a decent defense, so good on him. Their pass defense isn't bad at all, their scoring D is in the top 10. Their rushing defense blows, and we took advantage.

Yeah. Hell I’m always happy for a win and while Young is a mid- to upper-tier backup caliber player, he made some nice plays today, avoided the big mistake and deservingly won. The better team on the day got the win (unlike last night in MLS’ highway robbery)

Now that we've won 2 games, ive got no real idea of where we're going to end up. 

We basically won against the two worst teams on our schedule. Gets harder from here on out so I don't expect them to win more than 2 more games. 5-12 probably gets us a mid round pick, 3-14 is probably top 10 or top 5. 

I think winning today and getting to 3 wins basically ensured that we're not getting the #1 overall pick.

Nah. 99% chance the No. 1 pick goes to a three- or four-win team. Still very much in the hunt there and we still got to enjoy back-to-back wins.

something I noticed we play the buccaneers twice. Theyve been on a bit of a slide lately and divisional games can be toss ups (see the Saints beating the Falcons who had been red hot until losing today). I think the bucs would annihilate us if they had Evans and Godwin healthy

Mays didn't get ran over by Dexter, huge props

DJ Wom looked fresh and he made a real difference, what ifs....

Hubbard earned like 10% of that new deal- just a beast on a wet bad field.

94 Arob had a couple huge plays

Eddy hits a 53 longest of the year along with the pressured filled game winner.

Chuba, OL, Chuba, Wonnam, Chuba, Horn, Chuba. Bryce looked better at times but still far from “impressive”.  Missed numerous routine throws (worst was the pass to Chuba at the end to try to get a first and eat the clock, leading to the Giants sending the game to OT), some bad throws that got caught anyway, some bad decisions. Some solid throws too though.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
