I woke up still buzzing from the fever dream that was last night's game.
What a freaking wild ride it was. Shame on everyone who was *****ing about not throwing enough passes.
That **** was magical. I wish they hadn't thrown a single pass.
This guy is so obsessed with this.
Thanks, I never knew it meant both halves.They changed the rules a few years back that if you defer, you have the option to either decide if you take the ball or not or which end zone you will defend in the second half. So if you defer, you can end up choosing which end zone to defend in both halves.
This was the first game the won with the game on the line, builds belief, buy in etc. I think football Gods are pats fans this season.I'm sold. Defense has the it factor, stout run game and a QB that's doesn't get in the way and makes minimal mistakes. Teams awesome, big win last night.
on a side note: we'll never see a team win with 2/3 passing and 19 yards ever, in today's NFL - crazy.
Watch Trent Brown on the play at the end of this clip. That has to be a record for (mass x distance run) with an extra credit for number of people blocked:

After wtching Herbert launching jump balls all over the field against Cinci this week, Harry should go there.Yet he's added a lot in the running game through his blocking and has caught the ball when it has been thrown his direction.
It was a bad play by Harry but a worse coaching decision, IMO. I think, having seen the first punt, they expected the ball may roll (and therefore be easy to field), so they wanted someone back there to field it to prevent the Bills from downing the ball inside the 5 ... and maybe you're able to break a big return and get positive field position as a result. It appeared Gunner was also back, but positioned much further up the field than Harry, but I'd have to see the replay.
At any rate, the idea makes sense, but why you'd select that person to be Harry instead of someone like Bourne or Meyers is completely beyond me. Harry has no recent live-game experience fielding punts, so why have him do it under extremely adverse circumstances? He was setup to fail. He could have and should have done better but I don't want that one (admittedly, really bad) play to overshadow his generally positive contributions to the team/offense thus far.
As a final side-note, why they haven't thrown him 4-5 goal-line fades/slants/box-outs, or an occasional go-route when Mac is in the game and during a competitive stretch of play, is beyond me. He is extraordinarily successful on a very high percentage of those plays when given the opportunity, and (save for when Hoyer is in the game, late) they rarely give him much of a shot. I get you can't build an offense around one player/type of play, but attempting to manufacture some touches to maximize what seems to be a really strong skillset for contested/50-50 balls feels like it could be a good idea, especially when in the red-area and points are at a premium.
