That 3 TE set sure is a fun wrinkle to toss in there. Defenses have no clue how to defend against it. Wish we'd run it more but the 4 and WR stuff works well too.
We don't want to give them too much film on that formation. ;)

This was VERY telling to me, personally. That bounce back drive for a TD after the interception tells me this team is all in. Tells me Geno has ice in his veins and came back to get those points RIGHT back. Incredible!
Yup.

That was resiliency. QBs like Murray choke under that pressure. Seeing Geno not even flinch was impressive.

It has shown me what I thought Geno was not capable of. That was truly a drive of inspiration that showed he can and will overcome adversity.

Yup a real 180 from the previous QB who would only talk about overcoming adversity

"Peteball" is all about balance.
Noah Fant catch and run for 51 is all about tipping the scales in our favor! That one really thrilled me. And Walker running tough all day for 2 yards, 8 yards, or over and through three guys to nip the pylon for the sealer.
Great balanced management by an entire team.

That play action roll out pass to Parkinson, nobody stops that play.
It was nice seeing them continue to run a play that worked. AZ had no answer for that PA bootleg. Years past they would frequently go away from what was working.

Whether it's Pete letting Waldron have the freedom to cal what he want or Pete trusting Geno, how about plays like the big one to Fans where it's not just being conservative with the 3 point lead late?
The play-calling overall was great today.

Have you ran that by fade and John63?
What are you babbling about?

The game has passed Pete by.
What's that? You need proof?

Get ready to have your world turned upside down.

The last 4 times we had the football we ran 20 run plays & only 12 passes. Yes you read that right, 20 runs & 12 passes. Cold hard numbers don't lie.

Everybody knows in todays NFL you can't win consistently running the ball 62.5% of the time. You have to throw, throw, throw, & when they're expecting you to throw you gotta throw it again.

He's just extremely lucky & it will catch up to him some day.

& don't come back & tell me that they scored 3 TD's & were in victory formation for the other one because that's just being results oriented.

It always was Russ, he would then not follow through on the play called and then play sand lot football not executing the game plan. Coaches and Pete always wore the brunt of that.
