Some of you are maybe too quick to give up the division. What if Maye gets dinged vs. Ravens? AI says Miami has a 1 in 3 chance vs. Cheats as of today. Sounds about right. Too bad it is not in Fishville. Still rooting for Steelers tonight. Miami going to be dead by week 18 is my guess, we need them to play for pride (gulp!)

Absolutely not for me.

He looked hobbled still when chasing Waddle. Now he doesn't. Sure he is slower than he was, but smarter too!

I think some of it for both Milano and Tre, has to be timing and rhythm. When you are out of the flow of the game for a while, or limited in what you can do due to injury such that you can't engage in the game flow at 100% speed, it must take a bit to get rhythm and timing back to play at your peak even if you are full go. These are such great athletes the margins are razor thin.

Tre definitely seems on an uptrend to me. Maybe the injury in the preseason was limiting him until recent weeks. He is looking better and better. Same as Milano. Those guys are older, but not really old. Plenty young enough to be high caliber contributors, depending on the toll the injuries have taken.

Aside from the one play with no backside contain, New England had 35 yards in second half. Could not believe it, did the math twice! Still not sure I believe it. Wow.

Tre White had himself a game. Crazy pick (even though it didn't really enhance field position), and a touchdown saving, picture-perfect play in the end zone against Hollins. Hollins catches that, we have a different game. Well done Mr. White!

Today: 10 Tackles, two sacks, two TFL and a forced fumble. Let's go!

He played great, and always has except when hurt or playing his way back from being hurt. Have some respect, he has earned it.

Not weak - grabbed him, likely catches it without DB pulling himself close!

Be a hater all you want. He helped us today and is full-go the rest of the way.

I posted a couple weeks ago: Milano turning the corner? Consider that corner turned y'all!!

I don't think a round 1 receiver is a given. Edge has first round talent and then a cliff, whereas receiver has no generational talents but quality through three rounds. At least per one review I read. Could be Edge in Rd 1 and Receivers 2 and 3 - I would not be upset with that.

Tackling could have been better at times, but we did play way too soft in the first half. Burrow is a great talent, you have to get him off his spot and affect his throws, at least in third and long. We didn't in the first half.

As you say, they torched us. Sitting there in zone giving cushions when we had SEVEN third down opportunities to get a stop in the first half was absolutely maddening. Many of those were third and 5 or more - something Benford mentioned post-game. Have to take some shots on third and long. ESPECIALLY in slippery conditions, because those in the soft zone can't drive on the ball as fast. If we got off the field on a couple of those we might not have needed all the heroics in the second half. And IMHO, matching Benford on Chase the whole day was a mistake. Tee Higgins was too big and physical for Tre and Hairston - should have put Hairston on Chase and given him help. Great win, but I IMHO D scheme in the first half made it harder than it had to be.
