1) Nobody was wrong for wanting Sewell….hell we still need that help.
2) we won in spite of Eli Apple. I know it was Mahomes but dang.
3) Do we really make the playoffs with another QB? ZT isn’t out there throwing the ball. If play calling would’ve won that game then we would’ve scored a TD on that last drive.

With all that said, I enjoy eating crow on #1….I will not change my opinion about Mr. Apple, and kudos to ZT for coaching with his balls on the outside of his pants today.

Did you know that since the bye week, Eli Apple’s PFF pass coverage grade is 1st in the NFL?

Did you know that since the bye week, he leads the league in passer rating against? That he leads the league in opponent catch rate?

He was actually really improved even before the bye week, having a rough go of things in just the first few games. He’s been vital to the secondary, starting all but one game, and probably playing just as well as Awuzie over the whole year…maybe even better.

If you won’t change your opinion on him, at least admit that it’s due to earlier opinions and bias, and not due to actual on-field results.
