Pretty cool seeing Barkley and Allen exchange jerseys after the game.
Good win today. It wasn’t always pretty but they got the job done. It’s to be somewhat expected in offense though. There are 9 of 11 new starters. 4 alone on the o line. No other offense in the NFL is dealing with quite such a drastic turnover. And we have a still wet behind the ears QB who has yet to even start a full season’s worth of games.
Its gong to take some time for them to hit their stride consistently, but we are seeing some really nice flashes of what Allen+ this offense can be and it’s really exciting!
The defense also also had their struggles today, but again, got the job done. But they played well overall. It’s damn tough to fully shut down any offense theee days.
Also, While there’s more continuity on defense, there are still a # of young players at key positions (both starting players and 2nd string guys).
This looks like like a good, up and coming young team to me. They are playing well when it counts the most and put 2 games away so far. But they’ve yet to fully hit their stride, which leaves me excited to see what comes this season (and beyond)!
