Hill had more yards in 9 carries today (168) than Gio had in the first 6 games (167). The talent Hill displayed in 2014 is still there. Gio is still his dynamic self. Fwiw, Hill is now up to 5.2 YPC on the season.
2. It's also probably time for some to admit they were wrong about LaFell. He's now on pace for 850 yards + 9 TDs. Still leads the team in TD catches (which even I will admit I didn't see coming). Maybe he's not the long term answer, but it looks like he's completely over the injury that led to the Pats releasing him.
3. Mike Nugent is not a good kicker.
4. Dalton is on pace for 4720 yards and is sporting a 100.7 rating. Not sure what else there is to say about the guy. He keeps working and keeps getting better. He may be a guy that is considered top 5 after Brady, Brees, etc retire.
5. AJ Green is in the midst of a career year. On pace for almost 1800 yards. Its not all about the numbers either. He just looks like a man on a mission this year. So many amazing one-handed catches.
6. It's been beaten to death, but Ogbuehi is killing us. I honestly can't recall a tackle looking this bad for us. We've been spoiled.
7. 9-7 might win this division. With the Ravens spiraling out of control and Ben out 4-6 weeks, this division is about to start looking real ugly. I know we all have our doubts about Marv in the playoffs, but I'll always take the chance, however small it may be.
I agree with all of your thoughts Shake, i have some to add...
AJ Green is a beast, those 2 catches today were insane, the TD was just great concentration and
the sideline catch was a great one hander. I really like Lafell as you know and he has been even
better than both of us thought and we were both backers of the guy when we signed him.
Also nice seeing Eifert get a catch, i only saw the one so i didn't know if he got more, but still,
good signs all the way around today except for the coaching. I think most of us saw the fails once
again and the players making up for them.
Saw some great stuff out there, hopefully the coaches don't revert to the shit that don't work.
Just do what works people, it isn't that complicated. Great blocking on the Hill TD, he has rare
speed for a back that big.
