Sooooo happy it’s football season again.
IMHO the game ball should’ve been given to Sammy Watkins. You always hear stories about various players stepping up in the offseason, but sometimes don’t see the results. Today we saw the results and Watkins had a phenomenal game. He made a LOT of his opportunities when the ball came his way.
Offensively as good as we were, the score could’ve been much more lop-sided. Mahomes missed on two TD’s to Kelce and Williams got a case of alligator arms at the wrong time on another big throw.
The defense did get a few stops in, but have serious doubts about what this is going to look like against better teams. Looking at the replay of the game there were way too many times we lost the LOS battle. The secondary is still way too grabby and not looking for the ball. If you look at Minshew’s TD pass, while it is a perfectly thrown ball to a WR that makes a great catch, you can see our CB holding with his left hand, and turns around to look when it’s too late.
The Jags completely blew their cool today, and was really surprised that more stuff didn’t get flagged. Can imagine the league office is going to be issuing out some fines tomorrow morning.
