Keeping the dream alive post game thread

Right before the game started I told my wife we have to play a perfect game and get some turn overs. Guess what we did.

100% agree. Ben Johnson had a brain fart. Run the damn ball. Pure ego. I will not complain. Amazing game, amazing season.

Add a cherry on top- Now the team with the longest active streak without going to a championship game-A team owned by some man called Jones.

What a win! Almost whole team played well, minus the inability to contain Gibbs. Lattimore played well and he clearly wasn't afraid of contacts - I didn't pay full attention to him but it seems like he stayed on one side of the field instead of shadowing a WR for most, if not all game. Maybe that helped Lattimore to be more comfortable. BRob played well. Dyami Brown showing his value to the team, at this point, I would be kinda surprised if we don't resign him - although we still should bring in competition for the #2 spot.

Cosmi has a knee injury, hopefully he will be fine for the next game.

Yes!

Great to see everyone coming back together here!

Lots of comparisons to the ‘91 Skins, but that’s only relevant in terms of matching big playoff wins. Completely different vibe then, where solid lines, solid db play, balanced offensive weapons, made the QB almost an afterthought. It wasn’t magic then, it was just solid team building, solid coaching, winning in the trenches. We went into every game expecting to win because there was no weak unit.

But now . . . We’ve never had anything like this transformational player, this explosive chemistry, this sudden magic spell. If you can trip on sports, we’re tripping!!!

Good afternoon everyone!

Any word on Cosmi's status?

[GridIron26]

Ouch, Cosmi's knee injury is reportedly expected to be serious.

Yeah, that looked horrible. Bad news was really the only expected outcome. Man, that sucks for him. All that work, and now he can only watch. Football is brutal. It gives no fucks.

Yeah, if anyone deserved that place in the championship game (and beyond?) it's Cosmi. he's the anchor of that OL. But credit to the OL as a whole, 0 sacks! Without Cosmi it'll be tough next week, but they've shown they can step up.

Yeah - feel for Cosmi who has played well and has been a real leader. We need more O line help for next season - we were actually quite lucky with injuries this year. My wish list will be DL, edge, RB, and Cb help.

Back to this season, after yesterday, if anyone doubts that we can beat anyone, they should slap themselves. Doesn’t mean we win another game and it still feels like we are playing with house money, but we could easily have put a 50 burger on a 15-2 team in their house had we kicked that early FG and not missed a makeable 47 yarder. This team - these players and coaches - are for real. It is Ted Lasso level “believe.”

Trent Scott came in and we didn't miss a beat. But if we are to face the Eagles he is going to have his hands full.

Yeah, but Lions DL isn't the same as the Rams or Eagles DL. Nowhere close.

What else can you say about Ben Johnson? He had a bad day no doubt. The guy can coach offense but you saw yesterday that he seemed to be more in love w/ his playbook over trying to win the game. Plus the way he handled the situation here, you had a chance to work w/ Daniels and passed that up for a system QB. Almost feel like karma got his ass. He just gives me Norv Turner vibes, not a leader of men and somewhat of a beta who works for the ultimate alpha.

It really reminds me of the Falcons super bowl against the Patriots, when Kyle was more in-love with his playbook than knowing situational football.

I remember that. All the Falcons had to do was call three straight runs and kick a FG, game over and they're SB champions.
