There's no need to end the hype now. 2-1 against the Saints, Eagles, and Steelers is a helluva start.

And our offense can't be stopped for 60 minutes.

If there is any silver lining it’s a wake up call for the team and will make them work that much harder. It’s a long season that will involve losing football games. If that’s how we lose 4-6 games in total this year I could live with that considering the last 10 years of this franchise.

I just want more respect from the national media, and we could have gotten some with MNF win. But at the end of the day, if we make the playoffs and make some noise, that will be all that matters. 

Long season ahead and there is definitely reason for hype.

We had a hundred things that went wrong last night and should have lead to us being blown out and give up and not fight back but somehow we did - we made it a game with a chance to win

It might be cliche to say, but we were one play away from winning that game

If Godwin holds onto one of the TD passes he dropped, its a different game
If Dotson picks up the free rusher in the redzone and Fitz doesnt throw that INT, its a different game
If DeSean's punt return isn't called back, thats more time on the clock and its a different game
If Beau or Vea are playing, those lanes in the middle aren't open on that final drive and we have another chance
If Whitehead was starting over Conte as he should for the rest of the season, we don't make Vance McDonald look like Gronk on a roid rage

You could go on and on but 'ifs' are worthless the next day

We saw Fitzpatrick fight back after maybe the worst half of football in his life
We saw his team rally around him and never give up
We saw our defensive line fight like we haven't seen them fight in years, despite the holding calls

Jason Pierre-Paul was the MVP of the game for me. He looked about as good as I've ever seen him play.. 2 sacks, 3 TFL, 4 QB hits, a handful of pressures and some run stops. That performance was something we haven't seen for a long long time from the edge spot. 

Jordan Whitehead looked good. He's going to be a player and an immediate upgrade over Conte if the coaches will just give up on him already.

Justin Evans and that interception.. thats the type of playmaking we need. After that FR for a TD in the Saints' game, this seems more like a trend then a fluke with him being around the ball. 

Godwin, Evans and DeSean all with 3 TDs on the season now through 3 games.. there's only 12 players in the league right now with 3 TDs so far and we have 1/4 of them - pretty amazing

It's a hard loss to accept because we could have easily been 3-0.. but if you think about it we could've easily lost 51-13 too if this team didn't fight back

We'll take the first loss and bounce back strong and angry against Chicago next week.. THE HYPE IS STILL ALIVE
