Eli was very accurate today, stood tough and made great throws. His receivers need to be better. His OL needs to be better. Great game from Shepard, Vereen and Cruz made up for his blunders with that great fight for the ball.
Defense though was something special. Oh boy most NFL people thought it would take a few games for this defense to come together. They will only get better.
Get Beatty up to speed pronto. Don't care what anyone says.
I was happy with everything in the game with the exception of
- Turnovers
- Red Zone Offense
- Ground game
I thought both teams played well and tackled well.
I have seen our 4 Super Bowl teams and every one had some ugly wins where the Offense was non-existent. Today our Offense was pretty good but mistake prone and will get much better as the season progresses.
Hats off to the Defense .....
Run game is still brutal OBJ was pretty much handled maybe
he stops being the celebrity and saves his energy for
the game he just has not looked explosive this year .
Shepard gets the Game ball ...
Cruz looks to be back . Wasn't crazy about the game calls
the turnovers kept the Saints in the game ...
We were luck to get a W but its a great Win none the less.
We will see an angry Skins team next week .
I say we Bury them .
Last time we had 3 good WRS we did some damage. Both Cruz and OBJ had some misses but also some grabs lesser players don't get close to catching. And Shep is a baller in game 2 of his career.
couldn't run at all, but still would have won comfortably without the turnovers, dropped passes, and inexplicable first down running that produced nothing. The good news is that Beatty should help the OL, and all the rest can be corrected.
But No offensive TDs today?! Amazing........We had opportunities but blew a few Red Zone ops.
OBJ with 2 big drops today too. Not normal for him, as if he was distracted. I sure hope he takes care of business next week instead of letting Norman get into his head.
Cruz with an up and down game, however, he looks like he is still a very good receiver and we certainly need him.
Sterling Shepard was fantastic today and I think this is what we'll see from him this year.
Defense was outstanding all day. We couldn't do much better then that, just a phenomenal performance by our D. If I can be nitpicky though, I would like to see more pressure from our front 4. It seemed like our only pressure came from blitzes.
Specials were also very good today, except for a missed 53 yard FG, but they are certainly not a given.
Saints actually had great field position for most of this game due to turnovers their D got and a great punting effort. I think Harris only had one return for the game.
A win is a win.
Money does solve all problems!
Nice little win.
That's all the matter.
tight ends
Drops
turnovers.
Party like it's 1980-something

Take care of the Duke.

Guys have to win their matchups.
Donnell matched up 1 on 1, drops a ball in his hands.
Beckham matched up 1 on 1, drops a ball in his hands. The calls were absolutely fine.
The insistence on running the ball was mind-numbingly stupid.
The defense played as well as humanly possible in the absence of front four pass rush.
NO MORE LARRY DONNELL.
tight ends
Drops
turnovers.
One of the worse called games on Offense I have seen in awhile. Way too conservative
Yes Eli really had a good day throwing. Handful of drops, handful of non-PI calls and still 368 yds and another 100+ QB rating.
OBJ with 2 big drops today too. Not normal for him, as if he was distracted. I sure hope he takes care of business next week instead of letting Norman get into his head.
Cruz with an up and down game, however, he looks like he is still a very good receiver and we certainly need him.

I think Moose brought it up or hinted at it. I was with everyone here at BBI about the knee, but would have kicked on 3rd down.
