The drop off from Brooks to Dickerson was apparent 

I mean I would think so. He's just a rookie.

I don't think he's the one if they want to do that deep throws a lot

He threw two great deep balls today. When he’s in rhythm he’s fine. He’s not so good late when he really has to get something in it.

Hurts isn't as bad as some of us thought (me included). But I don't think he's as good as some think either. 

He’s a high level backup, low level gap starter 

Well now today is down to rooting really hard for the chargers.

How did the clock start running before the snap? I thought an injury timeout stopped the clock. (1:48 on the clock when the injury stoppage occurred). I assume that’s incorrect.

It stops while the player is down, then restarts when the ball is set for play.  

Quote

INJURY TIMEOUTS PRIOR TO TWO-MINUTE WARNING OF EITHER HALF

Article 3

When an injury timeout is called, the injured player must leave the game for the completion of one down. The player will be permitted to remain in the game if: (a) either team calls a charged team timeout;

(b) the injury is the result of a foul by an opponent; or

(c) the period ends or the two-minute warning occurs before the next snap.

At the conclusion of an injury timeout, the game clock will start as if the injury timeout had not occurred. If either team takes, or is charged with, a timeout, the clock will start on the snap.

The ball carrier was tackled in bounds, therefore, the clock would have continued to run.  So, once he was off the field, the clock resumes as normal... with 25 seconds on the clock, IIRC.

I hate to keep repeating myself (well, okay, no I don't), but this is the way this season is gonna go...  we'll need to look at the team several weeks into the season, and see if there's been steady improvement...  I know we all live and die with each game, but we need to keep perspective...

It was a tough, hard-fought game... there' something to take from that

4 months ago I thought this might end 38-6.

He missed a few deep shots. The play calling in the rezone was awful

He underthrew Reagor on one. His other two were late or under pressure. The pass to Watkins was nice. That’s how it goes on deep balls. That’s why they’re low-probability.

Down two scores, I think the 40 seconds were more important. Honestly, we were a three and out away from having the ball with 2 minutes left. 

Those 40s are most likely gonna come off either way. As we saw right before the QB sneak. But you have the benefit of a challenge if you keep it in your back pocket until 3min or less.

I'm just chuckling to myself here...  your team wins, coaching was great and play-calling was great...  your team loses, coaching sucked, play-calling was crap...  never fails, you can book it... 😄

He under threw that deep ball to Reagor. Reagor even had to slow down for it

He was better with his legs than his arm again. 53 percent completion today. Not good enough.

And more importantly, see if they learn from the mistakes that were made today.

 

I would like to see more passes to the left, and over the middle... and some intermediate depth.

Not a good game but this was a game they should have won.

Pretty much this.  It’s still early…we have 15 games left, but he does seem limited at this point.

But a couple of those were deep shots and again... He's really not playing with great WRs. Smith and that's it. No Ertz today and a game plan that seemed to ignore Goedert entirely until the 4th.

The one that was called back? If so you’re really nitpicking. 

Losing Graham to an achilles would be a very big deal. He's our best run-defender at DE. He creates lots of TFL and bull-rushes that let's out DTs eat. He's also a captain who brings the energy up. Fluke injury too. Ugh.

Im afraid he's going to get tunnel vision when it comes to Smith.

The throws to Watkins and the waived off TD for OOB to Reagor were both very nice.  All the other deep throws (think there were at least 3) were ducks and allowed the DB to make a play.

He has yet to really show me anything, but I'm not closing the door on him yet.  Give him and Siri time to see how they grow together and how they each evolve.

I can't blame him. Especially when Ertz isn't out there. 

 

DGunn doubling down

And it means more stupid penalties from Barnett.
