December 5, 20222 yr Like earlier this season, AJ took over. Trucked that dude and everyone knew the deal after that. Hurts is playing well but AJ is the man. Kinda like Mbappe. Just another level. May lead us to the SB at this rate.

December 5, 20222 yr Solid performance on both sides of the ball, the only concern was the penalties, the number of false starts from the all starters O-Line was unacceptable in any game, but in our own house it was ridiculous and the solitary bum note of a game we never looked like losing. Hell Covey even finally realised he has more options returning the ball than calling fair catch if the cover team is within 20 yards or just run headlong into the first member of the cover team he can see. Good times

It was ridiculous and that's something this team needs to clean up. False starts and holding penalties were the theme all night. Its actually quite something that we managed to overcome that to still score 35 points.

It’s almost like this team can only be beaten by itself. That’s basically what happened in the Washington game also. Stupid penalties and sloppy turnovers pretty much doomed them. I mean how do you get so many pre-snap penalties at home? At least Covey finally looked like a return man and Nakobe Dean showed some promise in his limited exposure. Hurts showing confidence in his receivers and going deep to them is also encouraging. You know I wanted to see him come out against this poor pass defense and challenge them and that’s exactly what he did.

This team has many ways to beat their opponents and many ways to stop them too. They are a very very impressive team.

Earlier in the year people were saying Hurts want better than Tannehill also. It was pretty obvious that he is on a different level from him now too. Gannon gets so much heat, but he came up with a defense that shut down their run and mostly shut down their pass despite missing key defensive players. I think our OC and DC are both on future HC lists right now.

To pull a lot of your starters with 10 minutes left to play is a very good sign. With Gannon it is an interesting one. I mean the D is mostly playing well. They've had more good games than bad this year for sure. They've had some very very good impressive games too. And yet I remain unconvinced by him. For me there are still some real concerns with his approach.

I sarcastically said " this is the worst 2nd overall defense ever " people took that serious and agreed with me and still wanted Gannon fired lmao. News flash they aren't firing the coordinator of the 2nd ranked defense and top 5 in almost all major categories mid season!
December 5, 20222 yr Britain Covey's 105 punt return yards today are the 2nd-most in a game this year, trailing only the Jets' Marcus Jones in Week 11 (109 punt return yards).

Good times Heh, true. Or not calling a fair catch when guys are 5 yards away. Before yesterday I was convinced Covey just liked getting splattered.
