So which one of you is going to do the list of all Poles’s acquisitions this week?

seems like the grades on those might look just alittle different than 11 days ago?

The snap reactions around here are exhausting 

Yeah his offseason moves were great. Good thinking

It was a damn fun game but I am still highly skeptical of several moves. Even bad players have good games occasionally. 🤷‍♂️  lol

That is completely fine. But that is not what many were saying last Friday. It was how this is the worst team assembled, that we had factory line workers out there, that Poles hates everyone on this roster and is trying to get Fields killed, etc, etc, etc....

Its fine to not love everything we did, its fine to question the strategy, but the hyperbolic overreaction every single time things arent perfect is too much

On quick watch:

Borom got killed by Judon, but in fairness Judon is a really good football player. 

Brisker and Gordon really shined.   Though not sure why Gordon didn’t score on that late pick.  Did he pull a hammy or something? 

Roquan had some impact plays. 

Justin Jones had a really nice game.  Nice to see that. 

St. Brown was noticeable.  Nice to see that.

Fields showed what he can do when his huge highlight momentum changing plays aren’t constantly called back by penalties.  Especially the runs.  That is so deflating when that happens.

Momentum matters so much in football.  

Another game where people nationally aren’t now aren’t so sure about confidently calling Fields a bust like they have been.   

Fields outplayed Mac (last years best rookie) and Zappe on national tv.  That will help change public perception a bit.  Has to stack some nice games though.

That was a Luke Getsy master piece.

Ha, master piece may be alittle much (If im going to call it one way, Ill call it the other), but I will applaud him for doing exactly what we were clamoring for, and they used the long week to do so.

It seems like it wasnt so much that Getsy didnt have it at this level, just that he was trying to force a square peg into a round hole (repeatedly). Now we dont know if he self identified this, or it came from Flus, but he deserves credit to adjusting this offense/play calling to what the talent we do have is best suited for.

We will see if we can keep this up, and keep adjusting throughout the season

Who saw this coming?  A beat down of the Patriots on their turf(first ever win in Foxborough)  4 turnovers, 3 INTs.  We nearly had as many rushing yards as NE did total yards(243 rushing, 260 NE)  We also had the ball for 37 minutes.  This is how we win games: solid defense that creates turnovers, run the ball efficiently and keep the ball out of our opponents hands.  Easier said than done but we can do it.  Next up another game in hostile territory Dallas with their defense.  Hopefully we can build on this win.

Watching this game again and looking at the season...Pettis has a real future with this team

Yes, if you extrapolate his 1 catch for 2 yards over the course of a mere 11,010 games, he’s the all time leader in yards and receptions

Gordon shined with his one registered statistic: an interception in garbage time. Not scoring might’ve had something to do with getting chased down by Thornton, who runs a 4.2

Fields has plays where he decides to run, which is usually met with a groan maybe due to the sack count or from dealing with Trubisky’s 2 yard scrambles for years, but then he majestically weaves through for a first down. It’s a sight.

I do wish interceptions were an asterisk statistic. In one column, this is where the interception was a bad read, in the other is where the ball got tipped or a receiver dropped it
