NFL Week Eight Takeaways.
"This is the Biggest Game Of The Year Because It's The Next One."
From what I Understand, The Eagles Dont Pay attention to Too Much Noise That Happens in Outs mode Of Their Building. That's How Head Coach Nick Siriani Partitions His Team. But I Still Think The Eagles Are Aware They Are Not Getting The Respect Given That Maybe(Not Maybe) The Bills and Chiefs Have Received To This Point. If You Read The Publication, The Eagles are A Step Below The Mountaintop Of Football's Best. In An Era When Every Link Of The Chain Gets Measure On First Down And The Advance Metrics That Measure "Goodness" Become More And More Saturated, Standing As The Last Remaining undefeated In A League Where No Wins Come are Given Doesn't Make You The Best. The Eagles Exited Their Bye As A Consues Good Team Maybe Great When Adjusted For Opponent. The Ravens Are Still Better Bird By Some Standards. The Came Out On Sunday To Make a Statement. Forget Pushing Over The Steelers Let's Push Over The Ladder. The Eagles Passing Game Went Nova, Kai O Ken. AJ Brown Went Off For Three touchdowns. He's Scratching The Surface On Tyreek Hill For The Most Impactful Wide Receiver Transaction Of The Past Two Seasons. The Former Titans Have Complimented Rather Than Disrupted What The Eagles BRASS already Laid Out Foundational On Offense. They Are the Inverse Of The Bucs. Their Big Receiver Can All Win Big At Every Level. Against The Vikings, Quez Watkins Went Off.
Then Against The Commanders, Devonta Smith Went Off For Several Big Plays. Now AJ Brown. Jalen Hurts still Makes The Offense Work. Tight End Dallas Goedert Express What I Understand As The Teams Trust In Hurts Ability To Stair This Offense.
"You Realized That Jalen Had Taken The Next Step," Goedert Told Reporters. "He Would Be The Guy." The Question Of Hurts Place In The Eagles Have Turn Moot. Now Everyone Wonder How High Can Take The Team.
The Offensive Line Held Up Strong Against Pittsburgh. Even when The Steelers Pile Drive The Pocket, In the Moment Of Collapse, Hurts Can Hang Tight Because He Can Trust His Legs To Get Him Out Of Jams While He Continues To Scope Downfield. Poise, postering, precision That's a Unique Blend Of Skills. Has Hurts Neatly Perched In The Best Quarterback Conversation.
The Eagles Are a Masterclass On Not Only Roster Building But How To Run Modern Offense; When All The Parts Are Working Accordingly. Still, Imaging Them Along The Pantheon With the Bills and Chiefs Still Feel Like A Reach. Those Two Teams Are Far Ahead, And Pounding The Steelers Doesn't Count For Much, But Man, Can The Eagles Bring The Ruckus?
Browns Vs. Bengals
By Monday, I'm Usually Fatigue With Football. I Finalize A Few Drafts, Touch Up A Few Treatment, And Then I'm Off. Like Kevin Stefanski, I Look Ahead To The Next Kick, The Next Game. I Turned On Monday. Regardless I Knew With The Browns Season On The Line In Cleveland. A Course and All Of The Ingredients For A Big Game Hunting Night Laid prostrate. Who Better To Than One Of The Best Run Game.
In The First Year Of "When The Running Strike Back," we'll Quietly RememberWhat The Performance One, Nick Chubb. I Still Don't Think He Gets The Hype That A Saquon, McCaffrey, Or Even Tony Pollard InnRecent Weeks, Even Though He's the Best Running Back. Chubbs A Monster Truck Out There Bouncing Off Tackles and Making Alley Ways Out Of Dust. Credit The Browns Blocking Scheme For Taking On Stack Boxes and Chubbs Gyro-metrical Stabilization Balance For Never Letting First Knock take Him Down. Perfect Shock absorption, Like A Block Of Marble On Springs. Chubb Got The Scoring—Scoring That Never Looked Like A Pause Would Ever Come— Going For The Ground. One Touchdown And A Two Point conversion At The Goal. Jacoby Brissett Delivered More Electric Than Component Play. With no David Njoku Donavan People, Jones Stepped up For His Best Game This Year. Amari Cooper Exploded For Several Big Plays. One Go Route Late In The Game Display Long Speed, usually Hidden Or Masked Under His Savvy Route Running. He Pushed The Turbo Over Two Browns Defenders On The Sideline To Bring Home A Diving Grab.
His Cool, Contemplative Approach To his Belies His sup Up athleticism. Brissett Hit Amari On Close Hanger Of A Post Route With Two Bengals Defenders Trailing The Cleveland Star. Brissett Had, By Far, His Best Game Of the Season. He Narrowly Moved The Meter Forward From All Of The Negative Plays He Made But 17/22 278, A 133.8 Passer Rating. He Threw One Interception Under Duress, But I Saw What He Saw, A Check-down That Ultimately Disappeared In A Sea Of Bodies. The Cleveland Offense Didn't Need To Explore All The Reaches Of Their Abilities, Myles Garrett And The Defense Put Their Foot Print On The Game. The Bengals Offense With, without Jamar Chase, got Off To Inauspicious Start With An Interception on The First Drive. The Bengals Are Trying To Survive In An NFL World Not Open To Surrender Big Plays Downfield. Joe Burrow And Co. Are Carnivores Trying To Play Vegan, And The Results Are An Offense Starved On EPA And Yards. The Anemic Run Game Continues To Thin Out Results Just 36 Yards Total On The Ground As The Brown's Offense Nearly Doubles The Bengals In Yadage Production, 440 To 229, And Cruise Past The Bengals Through The Air, Where The Bengals Have Found Elite Status In The Air Since Joe Burrow Got Drafted. They got 10.7 Per Play Through Tye Air, Almost Six More Than The Bengals' 4.8. By Far The Highest Number Cleveland Posted All Season. On Halloween Night, The Bears Defense Put On A "Spook-tacular" Five Sacks, But The Offense Won The Night. Neither Two Teams Are Out Of The Playoff Race, And Even With The Win, The Browns Have The Shakiest Road To Navigate. Just Because The Quarterback Position Can Render Many Outcomes Like A Roulette Machine. One Sunday, He's Competent; Another, He Throws Away The Game.
Miami Dolphins Vs. Detroit Lions
I didn't Have the Lions-Dolphins matchup On My Watchlist This Week, and why would I? Neither Team's Offense Has Lived Up To The Can't-Miss Something Bonker Might Happened Watchability Of The First Four Games. The Lions Offense Somehow Drove Straight Of Auburn Hills And Into Some Of The Dankest, Toughest Neighborhoods In Detroit. After Serving As One Of The Few Outliers To The League, Dampened Scoring The Lions For Two Weeks Could Only Generate Another Point On The Chart. But Sunday InThe Motor, Ben Johnson And Jared Goff Found The Right Parts, Derived all The Right Formulas, and Pushed all The Right Buttons Early. Then the Offense Stalled—the Lions Score Three Touchdowns On Their First Three Drive. Jared Goff And The Pass Attack Flip 75 Plus Yards Of Field Possession inTo Scores Like pancakes. A DOLPHIns Defense That Looked Partially Unsolvable Against Pittsburgh Looked Like The Handed Jared Goff The cheat Sheet. The Lions Would Tack On Two More Feild Goal To End The Half and Their Scoring Binge. After Those Initial Three Drives, You Could see The Lion Would Have Trouble In The Second Half. The Lions Score Their First 21 Points On 17 Plays Total. Their Last Six Points Exhausted 22 Plays Total In Two. The Offensive Line, A Strength Of The Lion, raised Penalty To The Board, Stomping Out the Embers Of Any Drive. They got Three Drives In The Second Half, And The Dolphins Defense Held Them 52 Yards; 53 Yards Came On The Final Drive That Ended On Downs.
The Lions had No Motion, Just Negative and Penalty. Early The Had The Making Of A Jared Goff Proving The Nay Sayers Wrong. The Lions Had 346 of Offense in The First Half. Where Did The Playmaking Go? I am speaking Of, The DOLPHIN's playmaking. A COUPLE of Months Ago, I READ This Article In PFF about How Speed AFFECTS an NFL Offense's tendencies. Does Speed Give One Team An Inherent Advantage? The Study Came Up Inconclusive. With The Writer Penning: "it appears that these micro-level effects of speed do not manifest themselves in aggregate offensive trends, and offenses with faster receivers don't seem to perform better overall."
I Dont Think the Analyst Envisioned The Combo Of Tyreek Hill Nad Jaylin Waddle. The Two Dolphins Remain Stride In The Receiving Yards, But With Tua In his Second game Back The Combo Went Supernova. Hill finished With 12 Catches For 188, And Waddle Finished With 8 Catches for 106, and Tow Critical Touchdowns After The Dolphins Fell Double Figures. Tua Handles The Lion's Secondary For 382. When Jeff Okudah and The Other Defensive Backs Weren't blowing Coverage, The Speed Got To Them. Just Watching Tua Float Potential Interceptions Out There with A TORRENT of Under throws, I wondered Why No one Defense Turned around. Because They Had To Respect The Speed, the Speed Created a Massive buffer For Error Because, More Times Than Often, Teams Will Find Themselves Out Of Position, Either Catching Or Trailing Behind Speedster. So Many Of The Dolphins Big Down The Field Plays Featured Lions Defenders Right In The Picture. But really, Not There At All, Simultaneously. In Physics, Speed Can Warp Matter; in Football, Speed Unleashed Bends The Rules. The Dolphins Are Back In The Mix Amongst The AFC East. Baltimore Hasn't Claimed That Third Spot In The Conference just Yet.
If Little To No one Expected The Giants Or Seahawks to Have Winning Records At This Point In The Season, Atlanta, Taking Over The South. Must-Have Greatest Shock Value
Somewhere In America, A Laundry List Of Fantasy Owners Was Ready To Start A Mob and Sign A Petition against Falcons Head Coach Arthur. From The Beginning Of The Season For the Falcons, the Head Coach And Play Caller Have Run The Run /Bootleg Game To The Ground. They Earned Some Impressive Wins Amid free Fall Of Unorthodox Play Calling And Malarky. A call For Standardize Offense arose. All Of The Motion, Running, and Stringent Economic Deploying Of Downfield Passes Skewed The Aesthetic Purity Of The Game and Kept Kyle Pitts Tentative About Starting The Tight End Week To Week. With The Battle For The NFC South soul on the Line Against The Panthers, Arthur Smith Heard The Cries. Knowing What The Stakes Rest On The Game—Sole Position Of The NFC South—And Eight To Twelve Passes won't Suffice. Smith Threw In Tendency Breaker For Us All; He Opened Up The Pass Game(Some).
The Results The Results Were Grandiose At Points. Confusing At Best. Crushing At Worst. Mariota Attempted 28 Passes. That's one More Than He Attempted In Atalanta Past two Games. Arthur Smith Through Off The Shackles On His Reclamation Project, and Early On like The First Throw Of The Game, Mariota Throws a Pick On Deep Ball That In Truth, The Receiver Played Poorly From My Point Zoe View. But Mariota And This Offense Still Made Enough Plays In This Back And Forth Matchup. Kyle Pitts Showed Out Of Arthur Smiths' Basement And Caught 5 Passes 80 Yards. Pitts And Mariota, Who Finished With 253 and A 105.2 Passer Rating, Got The Falcons Going After Two Punts to Help Put The Panthers Over On The Scoreboard. A Combination That Couldn't Link Together Like Misfit Toys Toed Falcons Scoring Drive In unison. The Falcons Pulled away In Overtime.
"one of the craziest games I've ever been a part of." Arthur Smith.
Through One Of The Craziest Transaction Of Big Plays Penalties, Interceptions, and Missed Extra Points, The Falcons Escape To The Highest Point In The NFC South. The NFC south Has Something To Watch Out For Coming Down The stretch. In Another Tale of Who Defies Their Preseason Expectations; A Division Everyone, Including Myself, Believed Would Turn Out As A Forgone Conclusion has an Open Race Now. None Of The Teams In The NFC South Have Looked Like Anything Worth writing A Blurb or Two About. Now Tampa Falls To 3-5, Looking Up On A Three-Game Losing Streak. The Falcons got Their Ready To Run Wings Clipped Against The Bengals, And The Saint Are Riddled With Injuries and Are Sure to Show Up Of The Adjusted For Injury Win List. The Panthers Have The Only active Win Streak In The Division, And I Don't Think Anybody Imagine That Much As We Break For The Mid away Point. The South Has Lived Up To The Name The "Dirty, Dirty," With Product Produced Week In And Week Out. Through Weeks 1-6, The Best Or The Most Played Quarterbacks In The Division Are Marcus Mariota And Some Form of Tom Brady.
For Now, The Bucs Don't Look Like last Year's Dominate Team Or The Years Before's Team Who Could Meet Anyone Else At The Rim And Come Home With A Poster. This Team Doesn't Have To Work On Any Particular Part Of The Game, But They're Just Average. The Talent level Still Stands, But They Don't Have The Intimidate When They come Through The Tunnel. A Daunted Reputation doesn't shake Teams. More And More, We Actualize That In A Land When offenses Are Down And Don't Reign In Tough Spots, The Climate Has Set For Anyone To Carry Home The Wins. As Of Now, Any Can Win The South; It's For Everybody.
