The main story of the game was the defense. The front 4 completely took
an upper tier offensive line to school and it was a coming out party for
leonard who might be the difference maker on D they've lacked since freeney.
Offensively, they ran the ball far better than I thought they would. I disagree
that Luck only played well the first 1.5 quarters. I think the third quarter
would have been different if the PI on Ebron had been called, this team just
cannot get a fair shake from the officiating crews. And he did lead the team on
the clinching drive in the 4th. He still has a lot of work to do, the second pick
was inexcusable but he's really getting there, fast.
This was game they could have lost in the past with that third quarter lull, it's the kind of game they did lose last week. But they learned, they were stout
and that is cause for optimism. Yo, Philly.
