Revenge of the Mac

Imagine if we hadn’t given them 14 points to start off with errors

I already feel 100x more encouraged about the offense this year than last year. Obviously would be better once our O-Line is fully healthy. Love seeing them use Henry more, they seemed to have games where he wasn't in the gameplan last year for some reason (hint: Patricia/Judge)

Fantastic.

Mac has been great the last couple of drives. And actually pretty good prior to that - other than the int.  A couple of misses early, but also a few big drops.

I’m really happy with how the D shut down Philly after struggling a little early.

And - surprise, surprise - O-line giving Mac enough time to throw. Great offensive plan so far. Max on target for the most part - in the rain.  Let’s see how Philly counters in the 2nd half. Pats with the ball out of halftime looking for a lead. Who thought we’d be saying that 5 minutes into this game?

Been a great game so far. The offense definitely feels a lot more exciting than at any point last year when it was just unproductive, boring and uninspiring. There'll be growing pains with our rookies but I see the potential. PHI is an elite team, and yet they are hanging in there.

Our defense is definitely legit. Don't let the score fool you either, 13 of those 22 points all came from the Pick 6 AND Zeke's fumble giving PHI an easy TD. Otherwise they've contained Hurts and the offense pretyt well all game

Henry is actually an elite TE and with the Chargers was a Top-3 guy for a while in the league

It was criminal not to use him much last season. Even in 2021 when they went 10-7 and made the playoffs, Henry was also a big part of that with Meyers + Bourne in the offense.

Not thrilled with the call. Put up the 3.

But… let’s see if this D can get it back quick.

Wow., that was a great drive when we really needed a score. It's still an almost impossible situation, but at least that gives us a chance

Belichick showing a lot of trust in the defense with that kick. Hmmm
