With weather like that the Eagles game was never going to be good for passing stats.  Nonetheless I still saw good things from Caleb that I haven’t seen much of before.  On a couple plays the Eagles blew up the screens and Caleb just threw the ball in the dirt.  On one pass play with a shallow crossing route he threw with nice touch to I think OZ who took it for a first down.  In the past he put too much velocity on the ball on some of these short routes.  He might have cost himself an INT with another soft toss on a screen but regardless I think he’ll learn from that and this is still a sign of growth.

That is now 2 INTs on tipped balls at the line. That is a risk for any QB to be honest. I know it looked really bad, but normally you want the Edge defender engaged on the screen side so he can't do that.

The most promising thing is this offense is still a work in progress, and Caleb will get better. They are playing like a top 5 team right now, if Caleb gets better, and the defense gets healthy, what will they be then?

The things Caleb needs to get better at is all fixable stuff.  Just imagine when he hits his stride , we will be scoring 40 points a game.

I felt the same way when I saw the replay.  Izzy has to engage earlier on the play instead of waiting but it’s also a case where you need the DE to get upfield a bit to create the space.

Saw a social media post that noted both Chicago and New England were the leaders of their respective divisions then asked ‘what is this 1985?’ 
 

And saw an incredible play by Bo Nix a little bit ago that ‘yes’ somehow resulted in a TD pass.

Would you say he was down? Hard to tell there since the ball is out. Good to see the youth taking over Williams, Maye, and Nix.

Nope.  His knee hit about a millisecond after releasing the ball.  
 

Night has been one of highlights with this amazing catch by Burks.  His second career TD.

I watched most of the Broncos game curious about Bo Nix.  All I could think of was he is the second coming of Jacoby Brissett.  Almost everything he threw was an outlet or underneath route.  Those deep intermediate throws we see from Caleb each week over LBs and between safeties non existent.  Moving Safeties with his eyes …non existent.  When he did get a little pressure his eyes came down very quickly.   I can’t see how the Broncos short passing game wins playoff games.  I think the best way to put it is that I expected to see some of the Sean Payton Drew Brees type of offense. That was old offense was nowhere to be found. 
 

I share the frustration with some of Caleb’s missed throws but IMO what he is doing on offense is much more advanced than what Nix is doing.  I'm confident Ben Johnson is pushing Caleb in the right direction.

87 Yards Rushing on 23 carries won't take you very far in the playoffs. Especially considering the weather. It is trending towards playoff games in NE and DEN, in January.
