I thought the defense was really not very good yesterday - they got little heat on an immobile QB and Lawrence was pretty invisible most of the game. But I think they're better than that too, so there's probably room to get better.
The offense was unbelievable and Moore put their weapons in position to get the job done all day. Obviously the Giants are not very good, but if they can carry anything close to that through the season, they're going to be in good shape.
This pretty much sums it up for me. To expand a little bit:
I saw a tweet yesterday (can't seem to find it now) which was reiterated on The Ticket this morning which put some numbers to the stark difference between this year's offense (to date) and last year's. It was something like play action was used on 48% of snaps vs 25% last year and motion was used on 78% of snaps vs 45% last year (3 WR formations were used on a similar percentage of plays).
Also, Gallup's emergence was already covered but I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about Randall Cobb. This is not to say that Cole Beasley wouldn't have thrived in this style of offense but there's no way he converts that third and long down inside the red zone. That conversion by Cobb, though generally unnecessary in a game like Sunday's, could be a difference maker in a tight game. I was pretty lukewarm on the Cobb signing - mostly because of his injury history - but I'm sold now. Then again, that play may have been the reason he's on the injury list this week so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The city is abuzz because of that performance on Sunday and the sheepiest of the sheep are throwing out predictions like 14-2 and 16-0. Obviously it will never again be that easy, aside from maybe Miami, but even my cynical ass can't help but feel a little hopeful. Guess we'll see. Washington
should also be a W but that defense will be a better litmus test for the new offense.
