This was a testy game to watch. There were good thrilling moments but there were also a lot of "what did I just see with my eyes?" moments. I'm glad we got the win and I believe we were the better team, but I don't know how we can be happy about the win.
The Great1) The first goal to go stop.
2) Kupp. Likely his pro bowl year. Does he lead the NFL in yards right now?
3) The interception of a shovel pass on the goal line ... Donald had the blow up but Reeder was reading minds ...
The Good4) Sony Michel. That's what I've expected.
5) The pass rush. I'll highlight their lack of finish later, but we got to Wentz like ten times.
6) SJD's move on his sack looks like he could have some different totals this year.
7) Ramsey's pick to seal it.
8) Me having no doubt that Matt Gay was gonna nail his field foals.
The Bad9) There were notable busts in protection.
10) Um ... guys ... catch the football.
11) Matt's thumb causing low throws?
12) How do you let Pittman have a career day? They don't have Hilton so you should be all over him.
13) Jack Doyle getting free multiple times?
14) Time of possession, long drives by the other team?
15) Dude, how many sacks did we miss? 10?
16) Wentz not finishing the game. This isn't gymnastics. He's not doing flips. The worst case scenario isn't paralysis, it's pain. Even if you have a crappy drive and lose you show your team that you will go out there regardless. You don't have to win, you just have to be in pain for 3 plays and your boys will trust you forever. QB is unlike any other position. Matt Stafford was in practice the next day for no other reason that to show the boys that he was going to BE THERE. Obviously this bothered me.
17) The pick was not cool.
18) We should have put them away in the 3rd quarter.
The Ugly19) On McVay. Everyone on this board, everyone that has scouted D Henderson ... knows he is a complimentary back. He was getting up slow in the 2nd quarter. By the 3rd quarter he was obviously gassed. We were yelling at the television. How does an entire staff miss that? He can't play every down. Memphis is a time share school. He hasn't played every down since high school. Now we have two healthy backs. This was avoidable.
20) Hekker. Dude we kept you.
College21) I haven't gotten a chance to watch games from this week, but I'll just say that this is the first year ever I've not been targeting a position because we needed it. I trust our roster.
