Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson starting to find a groove down the stretch is what I'm here for. Anthony has been proving me wrong lately, he needed a kick in the ass with the benching and it seems to be paying off dividends so far. Night and day difference in terms of team impact and doesn't look unplayable out there. Some of Indy's WRs and TEs need to step their game up.

The eagles ran the ball 33 times and threw the ball only 19 times. Saquon had 23 carries himself. Not running the ball isn't one of Sirianni's issues.
This is where box score can mislead. They didn't lean into Saquon until later in the game though. 11 of those 23 carries happened with less than 12 minutes left in the game. It was a close game the entire time. Saquon having 12 carries through three full quarters in a close game is criminal. Waiting too long to run the ball with the best player on y'all offense is definitely an issue with the Eagles coaching staff.

I've never seen an offense commit so many horrible penalties like the Patriots this year. It's one thing for defensive penalties where maybe you get a personal foul because you're hustling and get to a QB a little bit late, but these offensive penalties the Patriots have committed are worse than any team I can remember.

It's funny because you have that perspective as a neutral observer, but I've seen plenty of Lions brehs on here like @Piff Perkins complain about how cute and hubris driven Ben Johnson's playcalling gets, and how he doesn't lean into the run enough.

Feels like it's definitely more of an issue for the team who's trying trick play passes with their tackle :pachaha:
They definitely did that earlier in the year, but that 5 interception game seemed like it was a wake up call. They'll still do front runner ass trick plays, but they make sure to feed Sonic and Knuckles to make the offense work easier.

That's what they always do, and it's worked to devastating effect the last two months. They use him sparingly in the first half and then spam him in the second half to wear down defenses. We don't want Saquon carrying the ball 370+ times this season, even if he's going for a record.

We only ran 5 or 6 total plays in the 3rd quarter

We gave him the rock plenty today...I don't want him getting 30+ carries a wk, 20 is good

I've never seen a bar lower for a #1 overall QB


Its pretty interesting that half of this board calls Caleb williams a bust but there is a 450 page thread on here with a majority of it defending Young.

even some of the same dudes saying give Young time and hes finally getting it are calling Caleb a flat out bust already and he is at like 15/5 tds atm :dead:


If Young had Williams stats they would be calling him the second coming from what I'm seeing. And I want Young to be good, its a good story.

The Ravens legit have 5 losses and every week damn near every analyst calls them the best and most dangerous teams in the NFL. They almost lost to the damn cowboys.
:unimpressed:
maybe I'm bias but it's because of the Ravens getting in their own way, that's why. When they are firing on all cylinders, they are unstoppable.
