Very pre season like. Maybe a few RPO's, a couple play action... I think they figured they would just roll over the giants so went at it with a very basic game plan.

I have no major issues with what happens in the first quarter. That is all scripted plays they planned on before the game started, and if those don’t end up working, teams rarely deviate that early. But once we had a multiple score lead in the second half against a struggling offense, we should have ran the ball 20 consecutive times. Their score at the end only happened because the game was 5 minutes longer than it should have been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seengreen Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 AJ Brown had a better game than DeVonta. Why not put both up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Stars: Jake Elliott & most of the special teams. Congrats to AJ Brown and Devonte Smith for their records. No major injuries Locked up top seed after an amazing 14-3 season. Scars: Hurts taking too many unnecessary hits. - Blitz pickup/plays made (not made) when getting blitzed. (Minshew was having similar issues last week.) They need to design better plays/options (and execution) to counter blitzing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It's hard to sit through "cautious." It was like watching a Pro Bowl where everybody was supposed to let up so no one gets hurt. All that matters is we have the #1 seed and have a couple weeks to prepare for the next game. This win didn't have to be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portyansky Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Some people here expected a 50 burger. Was 1 step higher than a vanilla offense. It was pretty much the Minshew playbook. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It was watching a team that was trying not to pick up injuries Brown in particular has looked like he was half assing some plays for a couple of weeks now, I just hope he can turn the tap back on when the big game comes, they got the job done against a lot of players who were playing to put themselves on people's radar for roster spots next year. Driscoll was left to sink or swim on his own way too much considering who we had at QB and the blitz pick up was awful, Scott let a free rusher go right by him on 3rd and goal on the final field goal drive that he had to pick up, because I can't believe even Steichen is stupid enough to call a play where he doesn't in the 4th quarter of the last game with all the starters in. The O-Line had an up and down day, some really brilliant stuff along with another stupid player downfield penalty chalking off a TD. The pass rush was negated by the Giants getting the ball out quickly and never being called by the refs for anything, they had one big play where the refs could have flagged holding on either tackle or OPI on the receiver and we got neither. I'm getting heartily tired of watching Slay smiling and shaking his head after getting toasted. So yeah all in all, we showed enough to get the job done, but there's a lot to clean up and I hope to god that Gannon has a plan to stop us getting dinked and dunked out of a game that he's saving for the divisional round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesK Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It seemed like they played "not to lose" instead of having an agressive killer instinct. Also, Hurts just wasn't himelf (IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southparkeagles Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 STARS Elliott, D.Smith, CJG, Scott (honorable mention AJ Brown) SCARS Steichen, Driscoll, Kern, Slay SCAR MVP - Steichen’s failure to balance run and pass throughout the game is frustrating. His lackluster effort in scheming against the blitz heavy Gints was disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Elliot was absolutely the star of this game. We are lucky to have him. His 61 yarder was the real start of the 2017 magic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uscg-green Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Elliot. Five FGs. That one from 54 was straight down the middle. Would have been good from 60 plus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when he looked like that extension was a mistake, but he’s just been so solid since and what isn’t being talked about is how he lost his holder, but didn’t miss a beat. Dude has been money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
