In context
SalHe gutted it out in overtime, so he's really great again. I don't know what's with this team. 21 -0 at home. Like, why do they struggle?
SalThis is a team if they don't have 35 points in the fourth quarter. I'm like, oh, something's wrong. Like, I could get 35, so. Right.
SalBut you're right. That defensive touchdown was everything. Saints should have won the game.
BillTheir secondary is going to be really bad until they start getting guys back, and it's just something to file away. The other thing I didn't like for them, Gibbs, who now has 51 touchdowns in 50 games. He's in this 50 -for -50 club that I didn't know about until five hours ago. he had 29 carries for 156 today you know so it's six catches so 35 touches total
Billi don't know too much putting 35 touches on gibbs against the saints in week one is not a good recipe in my opinion right so now he's on pace for 600 touches this year and i i just don't think that's sustainable it might be a little bit fantasy yeah um and then we have Eagles -Washington.
BillI just wrote down for this game, Philadelphia sucks the life out of both fan bases for three solid hours every week.
BillI don't have any other notes. It's pretty good. It's just everybody's bummed out. People who bet on the game, the other team's fans, Philly fans. Who has a good time during an Eagles game? Nobody. Not one person. No, you're right.
