This frickin team. Don't know what to make of them. Defense made a 180, especially the d-line. Didn't think they had it in them and glad I was wrong, hope they can keep it up. Though Huff was still MIA. Did he even play this week?
Sirianni's decision making was baffling. I love aggressive decisions, but they need to be smart with situational awareness. End of the first half down 3-0 with no time left, you kick. Dumb. Start of second half, since you didn't kick earlier and haven't been able to score, again kick. If it was tied, I'm all for going for it. Then when you're only up 1 you decide to try and kick a 60 yard FG? Punt and pin, let them try and march against your defense that is playing so well, not give a short field when they only need a FG to take the lead.
RPOs should be permanently deleted from the playbook. Wasted play every time. Same with any designed run where Hurts runs laterally along the LOS. Get them the F out.
Hurts is equally frustrating. Makes so many good plays, then gets dumb or careless. First pick, Smith needs to run a better route, but probably a throw that shouldn't have been made anyway. No excuse on that fumble.
Speaking of Smith, the NFL can STFU about player safety. How was that play not blown dead earlier? They're the reason he got killed. Pathetic.
I hate wins that make me cranky. If you told me yesterday they'd only give up 12 points I'd be thrilled with the anticipated blowout win. Can just hope guys are healthy and they keep growing. Also, gotta stop ignoring the preseason and treating the first 4 weeks as tune-up games.
