This team's offense won't get solved until the OL gets a makeover next season but a win is a win.
All the game balls to Judon & Uche.
All the game balls to Judon & Uche.
Disinterested? He is either doubled or chipped on the line by a TE or RB almost every play. Uche is running free because of it.Uche and a clearly disinterested Judon- relentless 4th quarter pressure to put it away.
Strong and Harris- Some nice rookie thunder and lightning with skill players dropping like flies.
Marcus Jones- Nice offensive burst when they needed one, key interception, and laying the big, clean lumber on the Cardinals TE.
This defense is really good. They do the bend/don't break thing well and they have playmakers at key positions, at least from my non-NFL-scout eyes.

Marcus Jones

Judon (always)
Mac Jones on the frustration he showed tonight: “This is an emotional game and I think that everyone feeds off emotion. And at times we’re too flat. That’s what I try to do, motivate my guys…”
M
I mean I get his frustration but it would be a mistake to do what you're suggesting. To do so would probably mean that BB will bench him and it would further set Mac back.View: https://twitter.com/iambrianhines/status/1602526239796895745
Pretty soon Mac is just going to come out and say what we all know he is thinking in regards to the OC
A little joke from the game thread. I love the guy.Disinterested? He is either doubled or chipped on the line by a TE or RB almost every play. Uche is running free because of it.
And he still leads the league in sacks.
Seriously. What a Swiss Army knife. That sort of football IQ mixed with that athleticism is really special and very fun to watch. Not making any comparison but is this is something only a handful of guys have ever done, Deion, Patrick Peterson, Troy Brown and Julian Edelman here, though probably to a lesser degree. He's a weapon in all 3 phases.And Marcus Jones is a football player.
Oh. Yeah, he clearly should care more.A little joke from the game thread. I love the guy.
You don't say.Uchudon
I hadn't seen that and it's just so hard to watch.Mac Jones for lighting a fire under the offense with his epic f-bomb at Matty P!
Edit: in all seriousness, Nelson Agholor gets a game ball for this:

He popped up alot tonight. Great game.Tavaj gets a game ball for the 4th down tip at the end of the 1st half. Turned 16-7 into 13-10.
And doing this - or at least getting caught doing this - a couple times now is probably not a great sign for maturity. Yeah, Matty sucks, but that's in no way the proper way to handle it. Especially for a second year player.I mean I get his frustration but it would be a mistake to do what you're suggesting. To do so would probably mean that BB will bench him and it would further set Mac back.
Red sleeves and everything!You don't say.
Now I may need to get one for Christmas.

Yes. I know he won a NC but that was in college. Calling out your coach publicly does not end well for the vast majority of players who do so. And, frankly, it shouldn't. BB should bench him if he goes further. He's kind of fortunate to this point that he's not been benched. But, yeah, calling Matt P. out like in a press conference or something would almost certainly be a death knell in his development.And doing this - or at least getting caught doing this - a couple times now is probably not a great sign for maturity. Yeah, Matty sucks, but that's in no way the proper way to handle it. Especially for a second year player.
Here is a clearer video of the above. And yes. Nelson deserves all the praise in the world for this. And that spotter needs to explain why he missed thisMac Jones for lighting a fire under the offense with his epic f-bomb at Matty P!

Yeah they lost their top two receivers and their top two RBs and the Oline has been a mess and they still competed.I appreciate what the offense did without Parker and Meyers at receiver and Stevenson and Harris at running back.
I mean this is why fans who root for other teams still envy our coaches. Not saying Matt P is the guy but just having a lot of non Pats fans in my life they cannot understand all our consternation. They’re almost like well damn welcome to the NFL. Still wish we had BB.Yeah they lost their top two receivers and their top two RBs and the Oline has been a mess and they still competed.
His honest thoughts about the Patriots during the game were refreshing, basically saying they are not a playoff team.Game ball to Aikman, a total NFL shill, talking up how bad the football has been this season.
Actual game balls to the d-line for yet another solid performance. The offense remains a mess, but we're on to Vegas.
LeSean McCoy is another guy who would regularly carry the ball with one hand away from his body like it was a dirty diaper. Guys are too big and fast to play it like that, even if you are remarkably strong fast and agile yourself.Game ball to Hopkins for the most lazy careless ball handling and protection I’ve ever seen (Non Leon-Lett division)
Both Aikman and Buck were calling out the poor play all around this year. When they talked about the Snowplow Game ending 3-0, I believe it was Aikman that mentioned that felt like that was the score of a lot of their MNF games this year. Perhaps they've been cursed with an inordinate number of poor matchups, but he's not wrong about the offensive quality being down across the board. Their last 3 weeks have been terrible games though - PIT/IND, NO/TB and now NE/ARZ. Sure, the Brady comeback was exciting, but it finished 17-16 because of how bad the offenses played, not some defensive cold weather struggle.His honest thoughts about the Patriots during the game were refreshing, basically saying they are not a playoff team.
Because they are not.
Squeaking in at #7 and then getting rolled by the Chefs, that's what the Patriots used to do to whatever tomato can they played in their first playoff game give or take for 20 years.
That said, credit to Belichick for rebuilding this defense, Ushe and Judon are monsters and he once again has found cornerbacks in the draft.
Rebuilt that shitshow of an offensive line in the off season and they'll be in business.
Remember this is a spoiled, spoiled fan base. A lot of the fans in the area and quite a few fans on this board constantly complained about Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia as the DC--and that's about as good as it gets.I mean this is why fans who root for other teams still envy our coaches. Not saying Matt P is the guy but just having a lot of non Pats fans in my life they cannot understand all our consternation. They’re almost like well damn welcome to the NFL. Still wish we had BB.
