Nice job on the win fellas!!!!! TIED-FOR-FIRST-IN-THE-AFC-EAST!!!! WHoo-hooooo!!!
A few things though:
1. Holding penalties by our WRs on plays gotta stop.
2. Killer instinct. Right now, we are a very good 2-QTR team, hold 'em in the third and almost let it slip away by the fourth quarter team. We had them knocked out in the first half and gave them TOO many chances to get back into it. Jerry Gray and bend-don't-break is killing us late.
3. Eric Moulds, please dive FORWARD! 4 freakin times he cut backwards after a reception trying to make something happen, and loses yardage, and at least three first downs by my count.
4. The reverse? Has it ever worked? Can we freakin' retire that play please?
5. Over-committing D. Vinny still has an arm, sure, but is slow as **** and we capitalized thankfully. But Vick showed our D what a mobile D can do when the D over-commits and we leave lanes open up the middle.
6. Our DB's are laying off the WRs too much and allowing to many intermediate passes. QBs like Brady will continue to kill us if we give them scenarios like that.
7. Do not give up on the run in the red zone. We drove almost 50 yards at one point to the red zone and started throwing? (We wised up later but why not run until they stop you?
This win is as much a change in gameplan as QB. We ran WM far more and earlier in the game than we had previously. That's good, but why didn't MM do that with JP? KH blew it when he got away from depending on WM and went three-and-out by passing. That's what got JP into trouble.
8. More screens. We ran more screens and quick slants and that's what WILL work. We need to keep doing it and not get greedy with bombs. Pound the ball, maybe go deep later.
9. Pick a QB and stick with him. Name one successful team that flip-flopped back and forth between two QBs in one year. It does nothing but create problems. Start or get rid of JP.
Joey Harrington and David Carr haven't learned by now after 3-4 years IN the game and not on the bench, how is JP on the bench helping HIM learn the game? Switching to KH this early has messed things up for JP and I predict he won't be the same. Especially if the team keeps winning and we stick with KH, realistically there's no place for JP here.
