And where's the poll?


EDIT* Ah, there it is!

Burrow, 100%

Everyone else you mentioned had an excellent game, Tufele wants it.


SECOND EDIT* It's, Davis-Gaither, not Geathers

Joe Burrow all the way

Tufele had a very good game. Saw him in there on several plays.

Defense continues to shine.

I thought Zac called a good game.

Those two catches by Boyd were amazing a won handed on a touch ball with a defender on him then fighting thr defender getting turned around last second to catch a ball mid and outside...

Those were two extremely hard catches.

Really boneheaded play for a veteran like Boyd. Glad it didn’t come back to haunt us.

Burrow, but a good day by everyone! Great game plan and execution today!

Meh. That's difficult to judge between the whistles and was great tackle. He got his depth made the catch got away from the initial defender but was a great play by the secondary defender.

Edit. Thats like pointing out Burrow made a bad read before the end of the first when Chase broke the out and Burrow put the ball low on the curl and was almost picked.

Burrow, hands down. He dissected defenses all day, took what they gave him, made smart decisions with the intermediate and deep shots. THIS was the game I wanted to see from him all year. That 4th quarter scamper behind Karras was fun to see too. Guy looks like he’s having fun out there!

I second this. Jokes aside, Burrow won my vote today. Nice W.

The obvious answer is Joe Burrow, but I'm going other for the offensive staff. They recognized the weakness of the Falcons defense and relentlessly attacked it. What run game? Just throw, throw, and throw some more at those backup CBs. Burrow executed it pretty much flawlessly. 

You guys that give them to coaches are no fun. Same with entire position groups. Pick a player!

LoL....I said obvious answer is Joe Burrow, and I picked him last week.....but they hardly even considered running today until late. And for good reason. The team dominated the opponents' weakness. Good game plan, excellent execution from the personnel. The defense hung tough with some backups playing a lot of reps themselves. 

Burrow without question.I wish Zac would have just continued to turn him loose throwing the ball so that he could have broken 500.Burrow could have gone over 500 easily,had they not backed off and committed more to the run toward the end of the game.

Brrr

Is Zac handing out game balls to local establishments this year?  Thought that was a great move last season.

Going with Boyd. But there’s at least 3 correct answers

Got to go with Burrow. That deep throw to Boyd on the first TD came out hot. A bullet. Burrow was throwing the ball great all game and shined.

You can't completely ignore the receivers obviously, it was good to see TB make a good run for Bfine's gameball.

Anyway, it obviously Burrow. Sure the Falcons secondary was banged up but he still went out there and put on a master class today. If there’s a better QB in the league right now at that back shoulder throw he makes I haven’t seen him.

People have made the comparisons before (which i've stayed away from for now) but the dude looked like prime Brady out there today. Pitch and catch short, medium and long. He was dealing aces all day.

I could be wrong but i thought the defender tugged on him enough to change his momentum. 

The thing that i was yelling for was challenging the TD to Tee. They ended up getting the touchdown but that's twice now that they failed to challenge a TD, while running up to the line to get another play off quick.

Those are for playoff wins.

Boyd.

He was electric

His momentum was definitely impacted by the defender, but he tried to step around the man on the ground to get a much bigger gain on his own and that change of direction impacted it even more.  Had he escaped the second man it would have been a first and then some.  Alas he has caught before crossing the line again.

As to the lack of a challenge, they aren't even trying to get off good plays.  They've all been crap that wouldn't be worth running even if we had time to get set beforehand.
