NFL 2018

[Midwest Spy]

I keep going back to the NFC Championship game and how thoroughly Doug Pederson out coached Mike Zimmer.

It was frickin’ brilliant.

Such a conservative game plan against Atlanta, Zim watches the tape, and just assumes Phil will do the same against the top D in the league.

Then, Foles comes out and is throwing everything 20+ yards down the field, including a drop at the 5 yard line on their opening drive.

They never let off the gas either... there was never a time when Zim thought he was gaining momentum back.

Zim’s Game Day management and in-game adjustments NEED to change this season if we’re to reach the Super Bowl.

Guess what Zim? You are allowed to blitz and change things up DURING the game.

Now, the only solace from that horrific defeat is knowing that Pederson came out and did the same to Belichek a couple of weeks later.

I’m slowly getting myself into NFL mode.

We’ve got a shit ton of talent returning but you just never know how it’s going to play out.
