My gosh, half the people I know or read or listen to are talking about this team like they're DEAD.
And they're
9-1.
That was an awesome win. That's a GRINDER game... that's a TRENCHES game... yeah, our team lost some of those battles... maybe a lot... but they won the freakin' war. (Honestly, I felt like the Ravens game was turning for our team too, until the fumble/6.)
Just to recap the Eagles, and forgive me for being no statistical deep diver... but the important stuff is right there in front of us:
1. The defense gave up 10 points in the first quarter... AND SHUT THEM DOWN THE REST OF THE GAME.
ON THE ROAD.
2. The offense... came back from a 10-point deficit...
ON THE ROAD.
Now.... could they close it out? No. But there have been plenty of other times the Pats O hasn't closed out a game... with far higher performing offenses than this one is at the moment. Just... saying.
3. Special teams was pretty much perfect... all kicks made... and all but one punt were beauties.
I listened to the beginning of Squeaky and the Douche yesterday... hey, I'm a masochist... and Mazz started off by saying how excited HE was by the win. I'm thinking to myself... what world do I live in where I agree with Mazz about the Pats?!?!?!
A lot of people thought this team was DOA last year after Gordon was out, and the Steelers game. "Not enough talent"... "haven't lost 5 in like a decade"... well, THAT worked out pretty well.
C'mon... keep the faith in BB and TB12... and to the chicken littles... you BETTER run...
...before we find out how many of you fit on a skewer.
