I just said that to myself while pondering,"Never thought we would NEED Ginn, his deep threat opens up the offense to target on all levels"

* Offensive line has not been dominant the past 2 weeks like they were for the 10 game stretch (with and without Armstead)

* Kamara is used too much and Ingram too little.

* Taysom Hill saved that game; as pointed out earlier - it was headed towards Dallas 2.0

* Drew made a huge gaffe throwing that INT on the MI screen; his dismissal of it in the post game raised a flag

* We have a solid defense. Apple settles in and should improve.

* Where is Marshall? We will not succeed in the playoffs with MT and AK as our only weapons. Smith needs to get back to form and someone else needs to step up at receiver.

* Team has lacked killer instinct the past 2 weeks. Something that also happened at the end of 2017 (and 2009 to be fair).

No surprises here. Slow start in sloppy weather after playing 3 games in 11 days. We’ve seen this every season. What I’m excited about was the second half bounce back.

I fully expect to see a more focused team in prime time and at home. Sean will have tricks up his sleeve for Riverboat Ronnie and company.

I was either drugged before the game started and it wore off after the half, or I was drugged after half time.

Either way, those were two different teams.

... I do not truly hate anything in the world but Kenny Albert..

And Taysom Hill just took Trey Gowdy's place as the only man who's picture is kept in my wallet.

Apple seems to be putting it together under DA

I know who my MVP was from this contest...

And not to be out done ...

Sheldon "Shimmy" Rankins had yet another sack vs Tampa. He's had a phenomenal season.
