I was thinking the same thing...

According to this site Fitz aced the Wonderlic with a 50.

Others observed in the Cinci game that Fitz was sporting some bandaging of his ring finger on his throwing hand. I noticed it again in the Eagles game. I wonder if there is some injury that is hampering his longer throws. IIRC, there were no deep throws in the Philly game, even when the Eagles secondary was clogging up the short- medium- routes.

The 30th ranking is in yards allowed per game, so in that one area, yes, they are 30th. I tend to think you can't judge the D on such a narrow basis though.

Gailey got a lot of grief for that statement from the morons at GR, but that mindset blows away "Hard to win in the NFL" by a country mile!

Yep, no vertical passing game this week, it was becoming obvious later on as the Eagle secondary was clogging up the short passing routes. Didn't Bruce Smith look less that ordinary his first year or so? I seem to recall he wasn't getting it done at first... Lots of credit to Hairston, but credit also to Gailey for keeping the O scheme within his players abilities. The O line has been a pleasant surprise this year, but I think it has a lot to do with the basic O philosophy, which keeps the line from being exposed - or to put it another way, the scheme fits the players they have now, not the players they'd like to have someday. This is a huge philosophical upgrade from the past decade. Good question. As much as I love the O philosophy, the D is a mystery to me. With the player changes from last year - Merriman, Barnett, Dareus - you'd think the D would be much better than they seem to be. He's gotten a good amount of touches thus far, but he may have been under utilized yesterday. +1

chad is cheap...you heard it here first...

Best one is "Somehow managed to turn graduating from Harvard and excelling in his career into a surprising success story!" Damn you Captain Hindsight!!! A touch quicker.....

Every season there are games you should have won and didn't, and games you had no business in winning and did. This just falls into the first category. Shake it off and move on. (Last week was prolly in the 2nd category btw)

Ok comeback time. Oh wait...going into halftime with a lead... confusing....

This. Since WNSA went belly up there has been no competition (WECK never really took off with their sports shows) in the sports talk market and WGR (which was actually good way back when) has been just awful for quite a while.

Props to the OLine as due of course, but I think no small part is due to the offensive scheme of getting rid of the ball too quickly for the rush to break down the pocket. Credit for this goes to Gailey for putting his players in situations in which they can be successful. Yes, the run game has been successful, but I think passing has set up the run here. Good coaching/scheme/execution, but if we were running a run first or deep ball offense I think we'd see different results.

Well played sir!! I loved watching Chan grind the clock down at the end, knowing that the Pats could do NOTHING to stop it from happening. Crazy as it sounds, I also loved the 4th and 10 in the 1st half, even though Fitz threw a pic on it. I like the decision making that led to the attempt to go for it. They were in a position that would have made a punt likely to be a touchback, and the end result was NE ball around the 30, so no real loss in light of how they were moving the ball up to that point. I love the fact Gailey gave Fitz the opportunity to make something happen in that situation.

Finally! This could be a fun year of football....

Real time, maybe but replay showed it was Searcy's all the way

is it over? can I look now?

+1
