They skewered him not throwing a drag route last year against the Vikings. Like yeah, I get it, he holds onto the ball too long sometimes, but they spent a good minute talking about how he fucked that play up.
Refs really tried to f*** us in this game. I think there were like 3 penalties that nullified a stop on 3rd down. The illegal formation on the TD, the OPI on Loveland, the offsides on DJ were all calls a lot of crews easily let go. It felt like they were looking for penalties to call. This crew had the highest amount of penalties called coming into the game. They really wanted to add onto their lead.
They finally figured out how to run outside zone. I think not having Braxton with his bad leg on the left side helps the run game as well. Benedet isn't great but he has good enough mobility to pull on some of the outside runs.
I really expected Caleb to play a lot better since we finally got the run game going, but I thought he played pretty poorly tonight for most of the game. A lot of his yards came on screens and short passes where it was really scheme and the receives doing most of the work. Poor accuracy on a lot of his throws. A couple of terrible decisions that probably should have resulted in picks where he didn't bother to read the defender post snap. But when the team needed it he converted a big 3rd and 5 and led a game winning drive.
I don't remember the last time this team won 2 close games in a row and did pretty much everything right down the stretch. 2018? I don't know if it's sustainable, but Ben Johnson has the team executing in high leverage situations and that's a huge improvement on the trainwreck that was Eberflus.
Toronto is lucky that it's a 7 game series. These 2 games were supposed to be tough for Seattle because their pitching was so spent. Now they get an off-day to recharge and will be pitching their best starters in Seattle while up 2-0. It's a very tough task ahead for the Jays.
Cubs fans who are also Bears fans must really hate Wisconsin. The Bears are at least on an even playing field financially with the Packers. The Cubs spend more than the Brewers and they still can't beat them.
I see people on Reddit shitting on the Sox for this trade and some Sox fans regretting it. Hell no lol. Vaughn was never going to amount to s%*# on the Sox. Having him sink the Cubs was probably the best outcome from this trade aside from Civale becoming good again (never was happening).
