Week 8 Game Ball Thread

[astrozombie]

Game balls to AVP and the Oline, something I did not think I would say this season.
Here's hoping Maye is okay and makes a full recovery. Watching him play legitimately gives me hope that with some talent infusion in the other areas, the Pats can get back on the right track.

Might have to give one to Michael Jordan for the TD. Onwenu whiffs on 96 and fortunately Jordan is pullinig and gets juuuuuuuuust enough of 96 to let Stevenson squeeze in.

I was just coming to post that. A whiff by the entire Right Side of the OLine- Jacobs blocks air as well.

Also, great job by Rham.

There are three white jerseys on him at the two yard line and he moves the pile forward and gets over the goal line by inches

The O-Line was very good under the circumstances. I think when folks review the film, they're going to be surprised how well Ben Brown played. If I'm not mistaken, dude was on the Raiders practice squad last week.

Brissett, because I don't care what the numbers say, if a QB comes in cold and leads a team to a win, you give him a ball. Period.

Mayo because this was the kind of response he needed to get from a team after calling them soft last week, and he got it.

Gonzo for shutting down Adams. Wilson got his, but if Gonzo isn't great, that game plays out completely differently.

HM: Rodgers (because fuck him), Greg the Leg, the entire Jets franchise and it's fans, except @luckiestman who remains a good shit despite this one flaw.

A couple of weeks ago, but yeah. Brown stepped in and has looked....competent? If/when Strange gets back the Pats might actually have some good choices to make.

I would be surprised, live he seemed to be getting slammed backwards on every play. I know PFF had him giving up both of the sacks and the most pressures.

Edit- o be fair Williams is the toughest matchup so inside line had the hardest job

I just wanted to re-cycle "Safe by like a foot"

I'm definitely grading on a curve here. Dude was a practice squad pickup facing one of the best interior linemen in the NFL. The guy isn't Jim Otto or anything, but given how ugly the game would have gone if he couldn't hold up, I'm definitely giving him an A. Frankly, I was surprised to see PFF's numbers this morning, because I don't remember seeing all that much live.
