Offense MM-Called a pretty game I thought except that OT series where he did 3 straight runs to set up Folk on a 56 yd field goal. Loved how much he incorporated the run. Felt like he put his ego aside this game to get Ivory more touches. Nelson-Felt like all 4 catches he had came in big situations or were incredibly tough catches Ivory-He got 30+ carries and did his best damage in OT. Where the heck was Powell btw? Kerley-Same with Nelson, had a hell of a game, especially on 3rd down Defense Allen-Gronk had some rec/yds, but Allen had quite a few pass breakups PLUS the pick 6 which got us back in the game
Kerley, Nelson, Allen. Agree, agree, agree. Geno's two runs were huge. Folk money from inside 50 again.
Add Cumberland to that O list. Not that many catches but pulled the secondary about. Snacks was amazing today and an important sack when it counted
Agree on pretty much all of these. It was nice to see Kerley have his first big game this year, I've always been a big fan of his. Cribbs also stepped in as an immediate improvement at PR which I was pleased with.
Kerley and Nelson were clutch when called upon and Chris I-for four-y (replacing Greeneforthree) got stronger as the game progressed.
Those were some great catches by Nelson. He was pretty good on some run blocking plays too. Kerley was huge today. Without him we would have lost. If we had him last game against the Pats we definitely could have won. But the Pats were hurt bad by injuries today, so 1-1 sounds good. Allen's pick 6 completely changed the game. Gave the Jets all the momentum in the second half. Brady had the ball and was up 21-10. A TD there could have possibly put it away. Suddenly we had the momentum. And of course the Folk hero.
I didn't include the refs because of that call on Hill in the EZ and the non holding calls on Wilk and Richardson multiple times. If they made those holding calls and didn't call that OPI, yeah I would have given them a game ball. By the way, did you ever send a gift basket to Walt Coleman? :grin:
Hard not to give Geno a game ball. He threw 3 passes today that were not dead on. The INT, a short pass to Kerley and the deep pass to hill that got defended. Maybe mroe important than the only 3 bad passes was all the throw aways. I stopped counting at 8 throw aways. Some really smart play by Geno.The two runs by Geno especially the third down run is one of the big reasons we won this game. The effort and presence to bull his way to that 1st down then the TD was pretty nice. The INT was a terrible decision. But not folding and giving up more than made up for it. I would give the OL credit after a very poor 1st half they came out strong the 2nd half and dominated on the game winning drive. Kerley needs to be on that list with all the third down conversions. I agree on Nelson he had two big passes.
This. How huge were Nelson and Cribbs today? Two late season FA pickups that were enormous today. Get Tone back and we may have something. Say what you want about Tone but he is still the best WR on this team and already won us a game this year.
Good call on Cro. Has had a rough year, but did he allow a reception this game? Didn't see him at all, which is a good thing.
