  1. Was Benford not playing at the end?  I didn't see anything about that injury during the game.

     

    Hopefully he's okay, and will be able to suit up for the game.  

     

    Otherwise, not bad news overall.  When Rapp was getting carted off, it felt like his season might be done, so day-to-day is the best update we could have hoped for there.

     

  2. The Patriots used to get endless praise for just playing efficient, mistake-free football - and letting their opponent beat themselves.

     

    I've noticed that about today's narrative, also - the Ravens SHOULD have won, if they just didn't turn the ball over, commit penalties and drop passes.  No real credit for the Bills for making a lot of that happen, and for taking care of the ball themselves.  And ONE penalty the whole game for Buffalo.

  3. I thought there would be more talk about the spot of the ball on that 3rd down & goal at the end. I thought it should have been on the 1 - and they spotted it on the 2.

     

    Made a huge difference. If it's on the 1, it's almost certainly a TD, and no one is talking about dropped 2-point conversions today.

  4. I was surprised to see that stat this morning. And, as we know, that 1 penalty wasn't really a penalty.

     

    It's hard to overstate how important this was to the win.  Combined with zero turnovers, we played relatively unspectacular football, but it was efficient and basically mistake-free.  

     

    McDermott & the coaches deserve a lot of credit for this.  The team was disciplined and didn't beat themselves.

    Definitely obvious some of our fans have not come to terms with the fact that our new identity is one of running the ball behind a big O-line and Josh not doing everything by himself

     

    I know what you're saying - but there is a happy medium.

     

    It doesn't make sense to have one of the best QB's in the game and basically take the ball out of his hands for much of the game.

  6. Especially coming out of halftime yesterday.  Allen is one of the best passers to ever take the field in the NFL, and the playcalling seemed more geared for a back-up QB/game manager.  Very few shots downfield, very few 1st down passes.  Kincaid, Knox & Coleman ended up with 1 catch apiece;  Cooper had zero.

     

    Again - just being nitpicky.  I'm obviously over the moon w/ the win - but it felt like it didn't need to come down to the end like that.  I would have loved to see the coaches come out of halftime and call the game like we were down a score, instead of playing it so conservative those 1st few drives.
