9-1 feels good. However with about 9 minutes left in the game I thought 8-2 was going to be the reality. So much to unpack in this game. We escaped with a win. That is the most important piece of this
1. Hurts winds up having a good game because he won it at the end. Nice throw to Watkins for the TD and several other really good throws. He had a few nice runs to. However he did struggle at times holding the ball to long: the fumble coming out of the half was not good at all. Now I have to see the all 22 to see about if the receivers were open or not. But he really needed to get the rid of the ball more. He took some sacks he just shouldn't have taken. The one that got them out of field goal range was a killer
2. Stechen really struggled calling this game. I am not sure if it was because Hurts was off some or the tight ends could not perform or what. I mean he did have one series where the officials got flag crazy (which the one they showed the replay on was a flag the other two) but overall I thought the play calls were unimaginable. Three straight runs right up the middle the teeth of the Colts defense. Just really a strange game.
3. The new DT's played really well. I thought after the first series they played disruptive. Got a half a sack each. Plus several TFL's
4. Jonthan Taylor 22 rush for 84yrd and one of those was a 28 yard run. The run defense really showed up.
5. Josiah Scott had a really bad game. He looked confused several times out and I think that is why Pittman was wide open so many times. Need to figure that out because Maddox is not coming back anytime soon.
6. The elephant in the room is once again we have a WR running open in the middle of the field going to take the lead and they fumble. Catch the ball and go down. I don't think I have ever seen this happen two weeks in the row like this
7. The one thing that is really concerning me about the defense is end of the half. Seems like week after week with under two minutes they are letting teams drive down for field goals. Not sure what is happening, well I kind of know but I don't want to rip on Gannon this week. Just something to keep an eye on.
8. The Eagles special teams continue to be terrible.
9. Nice to see Brandon Graham come back from last weeks penalty with a huge play.
10. Seems to me that the officials are missing facemasks all over the league. Something has to give here because of player safety. Yes this time a huge one went in the Eagles favor but there were two earlier in the game against the Colts that were not called.
Howie needs to get on the phone this week with a vet tight end. Stoll is a nice number 2 but that is what he is. The others simply can't play. Not sure who is out there. I think that Richard Rodgers is on a team already. Need to find someone. The offense might have been bogging because of this
