This young D has me excited. We’ve seen real growth and progress over the past several weeks. That makes Sundays refreshing.

lol but on the main board it was “meet me at the Wachovia’. And know I’ll be full strapped, ready for anything

 

[WestSideLion]

Helluva hit by Brown that caused the Jax punt fumble. Wow. Nice to break the first quarter scoring streak.

 

[nittanyfan333]

What the actual EFF was they wizardry by Saquon?!?!?

[WestSideLion]

Insane. That’s a gymnastics floor routine move.

The best part of it all is imagining the look on Mara’s face when Saquon is Saquon.

 

[WestSideLion]

Damn. Why go on 4th and 3? Hurts isn’t seeing the field well enough for that.

These little hiccups get you beat.

I don't think there's an issue with his seeing the field. That said, I wasn't crazy about the decision to go for it. It seemed unnecessary. And AJ was open on the play. Hurts didn't put enough on the ball (I think he had to loft it over the LBer), which allowed the DB to make a play on the ball.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Coop. Great play by DeJean on the 3rd down pass attempt.

 

[Grant Green]

Go Birds from Vegas!

Hurts didn’t see AJ until too late. That allowed the DB to catch up and make the play. That was my read anyway.

It’s Jax. Kick the FG and make them score two TDs to catch up. I think Nick sometimes overthinks it.

 

[nittanyfan333]

cooper DeJean is a freaking dude…..

[WestSideLion]

Hurts is playing poorly. Sigh. He’s holding the ball WAY too long back there.

For sure. The Jags gave them a gift in not converting the fourth down attempt. Accept the gift and kick the FG.

TD, Wilson

Flag on the play.

Offensive PI. smh

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Saquon!!!!

On 3rd & 17, and he ran it in!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

they line up to go for 2, but all TO with no time on the clock. Appears they were trying to draw Jax offside.

With the PAT, it's 17-0, Birds, with 0:22 left in the 1st half.

Flag on the PAT, and it's against Jax (offside). The Birds are coming back to go for 2.

The Birds try a tush push, and don't convert, so it's 16-0, Birds, with 0:22 left in the half

 

[Grant Green]

187 yards to 32 so far

[WestSideLion]

Nick over thinking things again. Took an xp off the board and gets stuffed on two point try.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The play is reviewed, the rules specialists on CBS says he thinks Hurts did get the 2, but the refs decide the ruling stands.

 

[WestSideLion]

Iffy half for the offense overall. They should be up at least 20-0. The defense has been stifling. Let’s hope that continues.

Help me out, why? He was laying in the end zone

I just found this video of the Braun INT in the 2nd qtr:

They didn’t have a decisive angle. I’m convinced these ref crews get rated on # of call overturns. They didn’t want that one changed.

Saquon is pretty good at football.
