At least he didn't take a knee. Well, Kirkvember is a wrap. Let's see what Kirkcember has in store

And I was just wondering, who has he actually "developed" as an individual player ? It seems like it's all acquisitions of established players or supposed studs, from day one. I don't follow them closely, so maybe I missed someone. He may fall into the ranks of the "great coordinator, but not so great head coaches"

Tom Brady was coming off a bye week too, and we gave him the worst loss margin of his whole career, after a bye.

Wrong Play McVay

Surprised Wentz couldn't or wouldn't throw the ball into the end zone on the last play, Sure seemed doable

Woe, Indy almost did the impossible Well we seem to be much better against the run than the pass, so there's that

So, a win tomorrow ties us at 2nd place, and 2 games behind first place, with 2 games against Dallas to cover that difference

Yet another team we broke

Suds Ball ! Eh, too late for that. He's a Niner Are Steelers' fans screaming for Haskins now ?

This team reminds me of a Gibbs team - in small, subtle ways. It's not stacked with stars or studs. We do have a couple of those. However, it's filled with, and relies heavily on, a group of average-type guys who know their job and do it, and gel together, and to some degree, overachieve. Well-coached, and good at the all-important fundamentals. One of the reflections of this is, week after week, you see "average" guys like Humphries or Bates, making game-saving or huge clutch plays. It's not necessarily exclusively relying on one star player. Yes, we get a lot of McLaurin and he's a huge part of it. Then again, Gibbs had his Monk. And like Gibbs' teams, you see guys who are "unremarkable" on an individual level, looking much bigger and better than they really are, because Coach knows how to use them, and Coach emphasizes discipline and things like that. I'm not saying Rivera is on Gibbs' level. Just that he does a good job, utilizing Gibbs' principles. And again, I'm not discounting the huge impact McLaurin has on this team. Just that we have a collective group outside of him that are individually unspectacular, but do a great job of making things happen.

Giants 10-0 over Philly, about halfway through the 3rd. That's a good thing.

I read an article on it ; I think it was the official nfl site I definitely wasn't making it up. And I'm totally positive I read it. They found some ways to justify beating out Tampa Bay in the division.

We're the Contender Breaker. Last year it was the 11-1 Steelers. This year we face a hot Carolina team that the media was picking to win the division. Not only beat them convincingly, but they're so broke, they're now being crushed by Miami. Washington to contenders - I will break you

So Heinicke is a Tony Banks ? Woo Hoo We finish the last 11 games at 8-3 !

This Kerrigan prospect you guys picked up, might start to develop later on this year though, causing things to click

I hope we can put the game away in the 4th quarter, and then afford to try to throw some balls at Reyes, and see what he's got, get his feet wet, and shake off any nerves he might have.

When he saw his first game action this year, IIRC he made an immediate impact as a chain mover. I'd be fine with that, if he can just help us get first downs. I mean, who doesn't want to see more 10-minute drives, as we did vs Tampa, and eat up the clock to keep Wilson off the field ?

We payin him some coin. So it's time for Curt's groin to rejoin.

And to think, Year 1 of strictest total rebuild, we make the playoffs using 4 QB's, winning the division, and 8 points away from upsetting the GOAT and future world champions, with a castaway QB making his first start for us, and he and us looked better against them, than the 3 future HOFers he would face in the playoffs after us. And Year 2 of rebuild, all indications are that things are starting to gel in all phases of the game, and we're putting together a streak that just might land us in the playoffs yet again. Year 3 is looking enticing after all that. And it should be interesting to see which direction Tress Way goes after retirement. I could envision him in almost any kind of media or coaching job.

I just love all of our players' personalities. Rivera and Co, just do an awesome job of researching and picking players who are high character, quality-personality guys. And of course, that's a great thing, both on and off the field.

Some will have to see it to believeit, but... Imagine all the offense... WR Curtis Samuel, TE Logan Thomas expected to play vs. Seattle https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32727827/washington-wr-curtis-samuel-te-logan-thomas-expected-play-vs-seattle

Look who's gettin ready for Monday

Yet another great FA signing, this past offseason. This one doesn't seem to be talked about much. But a huge addition to our secondary, and one I want to re-sign. Why did Miami cut him ?

Who you guys want in the Philly-Giants matchup ? I guess the mathematical answer is the Giants. I gotta go with that, also because the Eagles concern me, and I want to see them figured out or exposed somehow, before we play them.

Leak and Trap together (among others) and our Special Teams are tops ! Especially now that we got the Slye of foot, and D-Carter
