Game Balls:
Connor is turning into the RB we hoped he could be. As long as the line blocks like they have the last 2 games he can hurt people.
JU JU That catch was awesome. I know he started off with 2 drops but he redeemed himself.
O line They blocked really well and Ben had all day to throw.
Rosie opened up holes for Connor all day but that hit on Erickson was sweet.
AB held in check until he wasn't and they paid the ultimate price for it. Actually I don't think he scores if not for Hunter's blocking so why not give him a half of a ball.
Pouncey in particular was dishing out punishment all day.
DeCastro was right up there with Pouncey getting to the second level.
Even though he dropped a couple of INTs. Well one sure one anyway he kept Green in check for as long as it mattered.
Even though Ben had 2 or 3 balls that could of easily been INTs he still did what was necessary to win the game. He took what he could get and the shovel pass to AB sealed the deal. No sacks,no INTs.
Goats:
Burns is an idiot. He had one Job on the TD catch and where is he? Hanging out in the middle of the end zone watching who? The PI call on him should have been an INT but he turned around early and then got right up in the receiver's face. He is a waste of a pick,especially a 1rst round one.
Butler calling blitzes at the wrong time and playing Burns.Sending Williams out in coverage after missing time with a hamstring injury. If Bell comes back and signs I would try to trade him straight up for a legitimate starting CB and keep Burns on STs maybe. He can sit for all I care.
It was a good win because we didn't get rattled when they scored to go ahead. This is one of those games we should have won and we did. I'll take it.
