Lets here it for the Practice Squad brigade.
Seriously how many injuries can this team suffer in one season.
1. Wentz was terrific down the stretch. He struggled in the first half but so did the rest of the offense. I don't know if people know how hard it is to play the position when you are without your top 5 wide outs, your 4 of the 5 running backs you started the season with. You offensive line is playing like dog doo. Its just difficult. Not an excuse but its almost like he has to learn on the fly with a bunch of players he has not had much time with. That is difficult. He started to figure it out as the game went on and that to me is the most telling thing of this game. That also should tell you just what we have in Wentz.
2. Boston Scott has some juice. Doug should be at fault for not involving him more in the offense. The thing that bothers me is he showed a little juice last year.
3. Greg Wards TD drop in the 4th quarter was the 8th TD dropped in the 4th quarter this year by this team. That is to me the story of the season. 8 drops on throws that hit players right in the hands. Now this is Greg Ward who was on the PS three weeks ago but still, professional receivers need to catch those footballs. Also, I know Booger know nothing said the ball was tipped, the replay said otherwise.
4. The officiating once again was terrible last night. Now I know there were not a ton of flags but its was the ones that were missed, the spotting of the ball on the Giants sideline was consistently off. The penalty that took the TD to Greg Ward off the board was simple phantom. There was nothing there to call on Brooks, nothing at all. The roughing the passer penalty on Williams was the right call but he should have been thrown out of the game. That was a deliberate forearm to the head neck area of a QB that was in the process of being tackled.
5. Speaking of the cheap shot to Carson, that seem to fire him up. However, I miss the days where guys would police this shit themselves. Williams knees should have been taken out at some point.
6. Jim Schwartz continues to boggle my mind. How can he be so bad in the first half, make a simple adjustment in the second half to play up on the receivers and be so good. Blitz's don't work when you play 10 yards off the receiver. Plus Mills and Darby play better as press corners than off corners. Play to your players strength.
7. The injuries to Alshon and Lane look to be serious, getting those this time of the year actually become two season injuries. Not ideal at all. Lets hope for the best.
Not sure how this season is going to play out. With the additional injuries last night I don't see a way of winning going forward. But as last night proved we just don't know. I know this it felt good to see them win that game last night. The team we had on the field at the end of the night was talent wise on par with the Giants so good for them winning it.
