D was great again
Ingram and Khiry ran hard

But what I was most impressed with was Payton's playcalling. I've been critical of him all season and thought for sure he wouldn't change his stripes now. So glad to be wrong. He not only got back to running but he looked like Payton from 2009-2011. Nice mix of pass and run and calls were made at perfect times.

Thanks for proving me wrong SP!!

Agree with everything you said plus I thought that SP calling the Brees sneaks on a couple of short yardage situations was clutch.

There were actually a few times I questioned play calling.
I was most impressed with Riley Cooper's 3rd down dropon their second drive of the second half. He had a lot of real estate in front of him.
Also, hats off to the Ref for overturning JGraham's supposed fumble.

Playcalling. We ran the ball and stuck with it. We didn't abandon it when we got down.

Must have been the most balanced game all year.

The run was never in doubt last night. Honestly, I think we should have run more.

His 1st half play calling was terrible as he tried to win through the air despite the Eagles all but telling him they couldn't stop the run.

Most impressive was holding McCoy down.

Payton running in te 2nd half and calling qb sneaks.

In the 1st half, he did not stay with the run.

He adjusted which is the most impressive part. He hadn't done that this year

Both lines and how physical we played. We can completely win in the elements if need be and actually think we're built more for it than many teams left.

Play calling.

Running game in particular. I recall a 2nd and 10 after a 1st down run for no gain down 1 point late in the 4th.

He called another run and we got 12 yards.

Never seen Payton do that before.

The offensive line impressed me. There has been much discussion about their decline due to personnel and the loss of Aaron Kromer. They played well last night. They were knocking the Eagles backwards before we could even get the ball to our backs.

Once our RBs had the ball, they had room to get a great start and it paid dividends.

Sproles had a 7.3 YPC average
Robinson had a 5.6 YPC average
Ingram had a 5.4 YPC average

We held the ball for 35 minutes. Very nice!

Offensive balance. I have been begging for it and we finally got it.

The offensive line was impressive. Thank God for Terron Armstead. Having him allows Grubbs to be able to help De La Puente. This helps Jahri as well. I wish that we had dumped Charlie Brown earlier this year.
