This team to me right now, is as competitive and well rounded as Ive seen in a long damn time.
Normally when the starters would leave the field, the rest of the game was a tragi-comic attempt at putting on an NFL caliber display. Watching this team, and how even at the third string level we have guys making plays out on the field is a very refreshing change.
Last night's performance by the offense was damn near flawless. If that was a dress rehearsal for the regular season, then I like what I see. Smith and Maclin definitely seem to be building chemistry. 7 catches and a TD in just 2 quarters of play for Maclin is light years beyond any production we had from the WR positon last season. Hell, if Bowe caught 4 passes in the entire game, that was a "great game" for Bowe.
If Reid can get a handle on his gameday situational football pant-shitting, this team has a chance to do some great things this season.
