The most bothersome thing to me is the defense's belief that they are elite. Gilmore's comments post-game exemplified this yet again. We have more talent than anybody etc. etc. They aren't.
Elite defenses make huge plays to seal games. They step up when it's do or die. This defense is pretending that the ending of the Titans game is how they play every week. It isn't. I don't know why their heads are all up their asses, but I can't imagine the player's coach doesn't have something to with it.
You mean the Miami game that we held Miami to 10 points, sacked Tanny 4 times, forced a pick, and had a ST TD? Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure.
Tygod wih 3 TD's, 277 yards and 72% doesn't even come close to the EJM singlehanded win.
So EJ vs. CIncy wasn't the best QB performance.
But enough of the gotcha, I actually agree with most of your list, but I'd put EJ vs. Cincy below Indy and above Titans.
I'm not conflating those things as dependent on each other. I'm referring specifically to you being "consistent," which you have admitted, you weren't.
Gotcha games are what I live and breathe for.
Saying EJ's performance against the Bengals was possibly the best QB performance of the season was another ludicrous point, now about to be explained away as "unjustified optimism."
Nah TYTT. Just nah. I get you have no faith in Tyrod. That's all well and good, and you're certainly entitled to believing he isn't good enough to be our guy. I don't know if he's good enough to be our guy. Where you went laughably wrong was claiming EJ could be the guy over TT. It was comical.
EJ is actually incapable of throwing for 300 yards. You knew that 4th and 1 was going incomplete because it would've given him 300. He just can't do it.
