The Rams just softened the Eagles up for a loss next week.
Eagles losing this week would have made it all the more difficult.

The only ball that came close to getting picked off was the fade route that Randle gave up on


Dont think he gave up... ran the wrong route. Turned/ started moving inside, ball went outside.

This offense is gelling the last few weeks and eli has rarely looked sharper. I had zero expectations for this season but im more than happy to be proven wrong.

Loved seeing odb out there today

sucks that this division is looking much better than anticipated, but it could be had
Excellent performance in the 2nd half by both units  
Shockeyisthebest80 : 10/5/2014 4:25 pm : link
after a frustrating first half. I almost lost my hair with the trifecta of fumbles by offense, defense, and special teams. The offense must do a better job taking advantage down the field. Most teams in the future will try to take away the short stuff like Atlanta did today.

ODB was obviously the game changer. He should've had 2 TDs, but 4 catches (on 5 targets), 1 TD, and 3 penalties drawn is a heckuva debut. AW44 also did a wonderful job off the bench. He caught a pass too!

The defense in the second half was terrific. Atlanta didn't even have 1 good 2nd half drive... they just got lucky with the broken tackle after the blitz.

Why is Matthias Kiwanuka playing more than Robert Ayers? No, seriously why?

Props to Josh Brown. He always makes me nervous, but he made those 2 kicks easily.

Can we find anyone/someone who can tackle on special teams?
Browns win with a comeback

JPP had a sack that Ryan wiggled out of and Antrell had Antone Smith short of a first down only to miss him and he goes 70+ for a TD.

Got involved in the passing game, notched another TD, how in the hell this kind of talent lasted to the 4th round in the draft is beyond me.

Its funny, you can tell if we are winning or losing by who is posting. You never see the unreasonable negative ones posting while we are winning. It is almost as if some can't discuss it unless they are able to post negative shit.

Rookie class is really shaping up nicely.

Seattle better take care of business against Seattle, because the Cowboys schedule is pretty light through Thanksgiving.
Wow.

great resilience, fortitude, determination.
#44 sparked the fire.
important bobble then catch by Victor.
Randle ...
Great catch and run by Cruz for 1st down. Short of the sticks but had WR block - great play design?
Brown!
Hankins!

withstood adversity. almost took fragile faith away!
typical Giants - all the momentum, crisp NJ day - crap the bed...

But,

Eric the Viking - 10-27 in the cards

Really impressed by Williams. Incredible. Tough, punishing runner.

OBJ showed what he can be. Just being on the field made everyone better.

Despite frequent criticism, Randle played well. The almost TD was a bad throw by Eli. It also looked like Eli threw a third down pass to Randle that was too low. Eli was otherwise very good. He looks like he really likes the offense.

OL was excellent.

JPP was unblockable in the second half. Hankins, DRC, and Prince also played well. Ayers is underrated. Plays big without the name recognition. After giving up the TD to go down 20-10, D was inspired.

ST are still bad. Muffed punt, and running into the punter. Seems like every week there is some ST fuck up. Kudos though to Weatherford. He's playing in pain, and doing well.


I agree with all of this except Randle. He should have had the TD on the first one. It was only a little high and Randle jumps too soon(if he even needed to jump instead of take one step back). Then the fade that he didn't fade on. I just cringe every time Eli throws it his way.

that this team is playing like a team. Each week, after week one, has been very exciting! I am reluctant to talk them up big because of the past two years of hurt but I am very ready for them to keep playing this good. Not great but good.

Eli's Presser... said the over throw to OBJ was a "throw away"  
GloryDayz : 10/5/2014 4:55 pm : link
Said (paraphrasing), it will look bad on tape but he was just throwing the ball away due to pressure, was being safe.
Eli on the podium.  
AnishPatel : 10/5/2014 4:55 pm : link
Blitz came through, and he threw the ball away on the OBJ go route. So wasn't trying to hit OBJ, he was trying to get rid of the ball. Says, may look bad on tape, but that was a throw away due to pressure. He said didn't have time to wait for the go and hit him. Says "We" missed the blitz pick up, didn't single anyone out.
I thought that was sort of obvious watching live.  
Riggies : 10/5/2014 4:59 pm : link
Not pretty, no, but unless he was having a moment of Jamarcus Russell-like accuracy, it looked like he was just trying to get the ball out and do it safely given the situation.

He went right to Williams after the play and told him his mistake. But in an Eli like way, doesnt throw teammates under the bus after the game.
a lot of people were questioning

Rolle should have had the tackle but didn't. Had DRC continued to run to the ball he could have been in position to assist with the tackle. If they want to compare themselves to Seattle - they need to do everything Seattle does. Seattle is the epitome of gang tackling.

Don't blame Smith for that call. He played to his strength. If he punted there was no guarantee they would have gotten ball back.

Nasty blitz pick up by Hillis.

I thought that call speaks volumes about what Smith thinks of his defense. To have your coach make it clear to the whole world that you aren't very good must be incredibly demoralizing.
