The game-winning drive was like a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly. I loved the way the Skins closed out this game!

Great analogy!

The Good: We beat Philly.

The Better: We are tied for 1st in the NFCE

The Best: Our season isn't over at week 4








Hell of a team effort out there this past Sunday.

Bold mine.

And the cowboys play the Patriots this Sunday.

But I really don't see us beating the cowboys or the giants this season.

We are still playing without our biggest difference maker on offense. KC will only grow as the season progresses as will the rest of our young team. We completely shot ourselves in the foot against the Giants. A road win against the dirty turds this Sunday will turn your frown upside down.

The game may have been ugly but that last drive was a beauty

Crowder is a beast. Totally reminds me of Santana. Tough, shifty as hell and just clutch.

LOVED eating some crow yesterday. Totally thought we were going to give that away.

Now I know it's the undefeated Falcons, but it's our turn to steal a game we probably shouldn't win next week.

The biggest thing we have to stop moving forward is letting people have break-out games. Bradford was GARBAGE most of the game, but the damage he DID was crucial. Bombs to Miles Austin (he's still in the NFL?!) and Riley racist-ass Cooper? Come on now.

Obviously Culliver wasn't right, so hopefully that was it.

I've been critical of Culliver and was pissed that he gave up that play but if he was playing hurt which it definitely looked like he was, then I have to give him a little credit for going out there and contributing. He did make a few plays and and Bradford didn't throw his way a lot so I have to assume he was playing mostly well. I really hope we can add some talent and depth to this secondary by this time next year.

I loved the runs by Morris during that last drive and like the fact that Gruden didn't abandon the running game.

Even though the run wasn't working, by continuing to run the ball, it caused the Eagles to hesitate during playaction plays.

I'd like to see an equal distribution of the running game between Morris and Jones moving forward; and I like what I saw out of Thompson as well. I don't mind having a RB by committee, I think it is a good thing having three good RBs.

It's nice to beat a team we should probably beat. Just don't want to get to carried away with it. Philly is probably really really bad, so losing would have really stunk. I just hope Reed can recover from the concussion quickly. I wished they would have stomped on them more when they were down.

Culliver was playing hurt, and Robinson didn't react fast enough with help over the top. They got us with play action in the second half a bit. Those plays looked funny, and I think most teams will watch tape and not get fooled again.

It's just nice to see young players helping.

This is why I keep saying we need to run. When you abandon the run, you also abandon play action and bootlegs. You dont just lose the running game, you lose 30% or more of your passing game as well since no one is going to go for playaction if we go away from the run. KC isnt going to win you games being Tom Brady and passing 50 times every week, especially with a limited offensive playbook. He needs the play action and some occasional bootlegs to keep defenses honest in the passing game.

We lose that game if Morris/Gruden didnt get the ground game going last drive. fact. Im happy with 120+yards against a stingy Eagles run d.

I thought the ground game was effective enough to keep the defense honest enough that Cousins had success.

Yeah I guess technically you can say the run game wasn't working. But like you mentioned the Iggles were still forced to respect play action and the run game controlled the clock.

Maybe i'm striving for too fine/esoteric a distinction for an internet message board...but for me the run game was working. It may not have gained huge yards per carry but it was effective and helped us win the game.

Also it wears down a defensive line more than a passing game. It is much harder
for a defender to hold up a blocker, read and react than to rush the QB.

I have to say, they kind of dared Cousins to beat them and guess what? He beat them. I think the entire league needs to look at this game and realize that he can throw a clunker in there, but he also has the full capability to beat you with his arm.
