So this is good? Or we won’t talk about it because it’s a W?

 

    We should have hung a 40 burger on them. We did win by 2 scores, and by double digits. Is that not enough?

 

    TB has a pretty good front 7. It's not like we thought we could steam roll them. Or at least I don't think many folks thought that.

The last two turnovers were at the end of the game where we didn't try to do too much.  Just running the clock out.  I have no problem with those in a two possession game under 2 minutes.

20 points on the other 5 isn't bad.  Two short field tds and 2 fgs.

Our investments in the defense are paying dividends as they should be. Especially with a defensive mind in place like Rivera for as long as he has been here. This is what we are supposed to be seeing. We need to maintain that for the season now.

New England is New England, we don't have Tom Brady. He controls that offense on the field and knows how to keep the chains moving and keep Top better than any other QB playing.

Lmao really? Baltimore? I mean sure if you closed your eyes and ignored them after week 2 but their offense has struggled since and they've been putting up close games. They almost lost to Pittsburgh last week.

Kansas City *is* their offense. They *need* to score high. They are built around scoring high. And even then, look at the last two weeks.

Dallas, again, lol. Look at who they played the first 3 weeks. A combined 3 wins amoungst them and that's because two of those teams they beat are playing each other today.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here but Philly didn't even "put away teams" in their super bowl season. They sure as fug aren't doing it now.

Sean Peyton is easily the second best coach behind Bellicheck.  And even he doesn't go into attack attack attack mode like you (and a lot of people) seem to think. He plays the clock very well.

I get it. It's nerve wracking. But it's a common trend in the NFL. No one just runs up the score and goes into kill mode with every turnover.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
