SectionC3

I get the spy on the first play. It’s because we were selling out to stop the home run and didn’t want to give up a cheap 20 yards underneath. Which, of course, is exactly what happened anyways.

Should have tackled Kelce and hill on each of those final plays. Right off the line. Take the five yards all day long.

Beat the jags and maybe it’s different. Whatever. It sucks, and it will for awhile, but we will get that team. Not having Tre really killed us tonight. And, of course, the use of the prevent.

The Titans should fire Vrabel. There. I said it.

It was (obviously) the Athletic. JB reported (I think shortly after the Colts debacle) that McKenzie lost his job in part because he was too casual with the ball in practice.

I thought about this, too. Agree on the general point. Not entirely sure about McKenize bc of the Buscaglia reporting about a coach/coaches having frustration with his cavalier approach to balls security even in practice. Yup. And, should he like what he saw on practice, Daboll can bring in a starting-caliber QB with a year in his system.

The guess here is that Daboll is going to be the next HC of the NYG. It’s not a “book it” thing (like the next stadium being in OP), but … I got wind of something suggestive in that respect last night.

I don’t dispute that. We had Oliver, and JP was looking at a huge contract, especially for a guy who is basically only a pass-rusher at that position. (No anchor.) It was what it was. But if he wants to come back cheaply, and if they think there’s gas left in the tank, it’s the type of thing that we have to at least think about.

And yet nobody can replicate those numbers. I don’t love JP, but if there’s gas in the tank and he wants to work cheaply, there’s every reason to explore the idea. He produced while he was here.

JP plays 3-tech and would back up Oliver. Not the worst idea. Might mean letting Zimmer walk, though, and they love Zimmer. I'm in favor of exploring JP because that pass rush brought a unique element to this defense.

Kliff Kingsbury is getting fired, right?

I saw the Diggs handshake and Allen going up the bench watching the game live. The kid oozes leadership. And that handshake …. Much like Tampa this year, it has origin story written all over it.

I lost my sympathy for such things sitting through 56-10. It’s not our job to stop our own offense.

It wasn’t on Jones. The ball did flutter mid flight - exactly how the diggs drop in the MNF game fluttered. The laces showed near the peak of the throw on both balls. It lives the diggs ball and probably slowed the agholor ball just enough to let Hyde get there. Both plays were right in front of me.

The McKenzie thing was definitely down by contact/ground dislodging the ball.

That pick happened right in front of me. I missed him running down the Pats' sideline thereafter because I was so stunned that he caught the ball. From my perspective I could see him coming and I thought he would break up the pass or hit the receiver on contact. I couldn't believe that he stole that ball, though. Easily the defensive play of the year.

Belichick was terrible last night. Way too conservative on fourth down when the game was getting away from them. The defensive game plan spoke for itself. And Mac Jones might not be long for QB1 in NE. They won 10 games this year with a guy who is a marginal starter. They may wish to try their luck with Mariota, or Trubisky, or Mayfield should he come available. Or even Fitz. Whatever. An upgrade would serve them well. But of course I hope they stick with Jones. I was wondering before last night if he puts himself in the mix for a job with the Giants.

I there for the Sunday night debacle, and I was there for every minute of last night's victory. Just like you, I wanted to hang 50 on them for exactly that reason.

I agree to a point. The big issue is that there’s nowhere to easily warm up if you’re not in a suite or in a club area. It’s a little better since the bathrooms were redone—they are warm—but otherwise it is really tough to find a place to get warm in there.

They make each other better, but Allen so frequently reaching into his posterior and pulling out something amazing is what makes our offense special. It’s the unscripted stuff that elevates that side of the ball.

I’ll be there. Lower bowl. To watch us beat NE so convincingly that Belichick thinks about the NYG jobs. Go Bills. Done that. I guess it works. Good boots are the best bet, though. And mittens. It’s going to be chilly. That was one effing cold day.

He walked out for the coin toss in short sleeves and very slowly at that. Great stuff.

I imagine that Ankou is coming up this week. But I doubt they cut Butler now. They have no need for Stevenson moving forward. Butler might be useful if, say, we win this week and Oliver can’t go next week. They’ve already paid Butler $2m this year, so no sense in letting him go if there’s a chance he might be useful. I suspect McD is done with Marquez.

I think he’s going to play the same role Obada played against NE last time through. This is going to be a big boy football game.

Depends on what they use him for. Didn’t really work for Kenny Stills. And then, if he gets hurt on a PS contract, bad news. So I wonder if he goes on the active roster and Stevenson (who I doubt would return another punt/kick this year, anyways) goes on IR or waivers.
