It Was Ugly At Times But Jayden (And Bill) Did What Needed To Be Done To Start The Year 1-0

It was not the prettiest win I've ever seen. Drops left and right and penalties out the wazoo plagued the Commies all game. But Jayden is simply that good, and the Dline played excellent, which allowed the mistakes to be overcome as the good guys left week 1 with a 21-6 win. 

12 penalties for 89 yards is about as bad as it gets. Flags were flying from the opening whistle and never slowed down. Some of them were bullshit, sure, but overall it was sloppy and at times undisciplined football. 

And the drops. Jayden was slightlyyyyy off, like 6 inches here and there, but Ertz dropped 2 catchable balls. The tight end room in general was bad- Ertz can't catch and Sinnot can't block. Bates needs to be on the field more if that's how Ertz and Sinnot are going to play. 

But Jayden at his best was surgical. He showed why this team went to the NFCCG last season, using both his arm and legs as we are accustomed to seeing. Also, let's give it up for BILL!

The rook had 10 carries for 82 yards and a TD, a wonderful debut for the 7th rounder.

Also great today were the entire Dline, particularly Daron Payne, as well as Not Fat Deebo, who silenced the critics with 7 catches for 77 yards and another 19 on the ground. 

Winning by multiple scores in the NFL is always impressive, especially if the game was a B-/C+ all around. They can clean it up and be ready for the Packers on a short week. Feels good to be 1-0! Hail!
