Nice call. Wait till Emanwori gets back. D will be a problem.

[HawkandMariner88]

Right no shit. They better Emannworry.

We called a timeout after they gained 9 on first down? Why?

To give Maye more time to do something stupid.

Way too many penalties but great job by the defense, and kudos to Lock for really stepping up with the game on the line. That game was total misery for almost three quarters and then in the fourth quarter the Hawks said okay, it's head-farting time. Drake Maye had to take a 60-minute shower to get the smell of ass out of his hair.

BIG win tonight. Man, I love this team.

Pretty impressive to win without Darnold and Worri. Hopefully they will never have to again.

Does anyone know if Beau Stephens got into the game at all?

He was inactive...they have ten days until the cardinals and probably don't need darnold for that one. So that's 17 days of recovery until the commanders. And even that one probably isn't critical. Interesting, Lock was the one that got reps in the pre-season. Wonder if that was a benefit in that situation

Didn't he change the defense? Was that where he suddenly got really animated?

[Sibelius Hindemith]

The D on that last drive was less than stellar. NE had a quarter of their yards for the entire game there. Maybe that was the thin secondary rearing it's head...

No. He changed the defense on fourth down. The Pats gained 9 yards on a run, and we burned our last timeout. I really don’t get the strategy…and if Maye wasn’t a brain dead fool? It most likely costs us. Oh well.
