What matchups are different in your opinion ? Also even though there may be big difference , they are hard to separate since only a few cards are different and only come out late game . This is an interesting point since the archetype can look better or worse depending on proportions of which archetype is being played . E . g . one does better against deck A other does worse . Whichever is more popular will skew the matchup in that direction . This is a problem . <| sep |> Giving the ball to Dallas first was a huge mistake . The only way to beat Dallas barring divine intervention is to have a huge lead early and not to fuck it up , like the EaglesCowboys game . I know we always put our defense out first but you need to game plan like that . Speaking of game plans Jay Gruden is becoming better and better . 2014 and 2015 Jay had what I like to call Irritable Bowles Syndrome , he never adjusts . He never changes his scheme around an opponent , which is practically the only thing Belichick does . If we come out in the first quarter and stink ass on the pass but score off the run were still passing up to the final minutes . But now in 2016 he ' s fluid . Against the Lions subpar run D we pounded it with Matt Jones and he did ok despite losing the game for us . Then the Bengals is next week and we open up with a pass bias . The drive takes like 9 minutes off the clock and puts us up 7 . Against the Vikings our D was getting burnt and we were down 6 after being up 14 . Jay and Barry must ' ve made some measurable adjustments because the Vikes didn ' t score a point after that . And yesterday Kelley flounders and we air it out to keep it close something 2014 Jay would ' ve never done . All in all I like the direction Jay and McVay is going with playcalls especially after Week 2 ' s red zone fiasco . We even were good in reds one second half of this game . Two point conversions though . Ok I ' m rambling you get my point
