I still believe that piggsburgh win was the "turning of the tide".  They had a game plan using their limited options on offense, and the defense played with such ferocity.  The Vonn Bell hit may have been the absolute signal point where the team's fortunes turned and he turned JJSS in to a meme.

I know they haven't had the toughest of games yet, but this is EXACTLY what this team needed:  early success.  This young squad is starting to believe they can play with anyone and absolutely believe in their coaches and QB.  

Last night was the first "shakles off" game for Joe and the offense.  The result?  Burrow completed 78% of his passes to 8 different receivers, two TDs, ZERO INTs, and he showed that he and CJ are still a potential threat.  

The defense has kept them in every game and the offense is starting to click.  I'd love to see a better rushing attack, but if teams are going to load the box and stuff the run game, you have to make them pay and Burrow did.  Over 10 YPA is flat getting it done.  

Kudos to the coaches for adjustments and to the team for pulling out a win.  

Who Dey!!!

FLUFF PIECE!!!!
