This is probably a too soon hot take from me- but as of now I think last night was in my top five.

It's not 1999, 1998, or 2013. Those are my clear cut top three. I think right now this one may be four.


And the reason is because of what happened the year before. I also think the brawl last night will go down as one of if not THE most memorable Egg Bowl brawl of all time. Definitely the most memorable in game brawl.


Some of what I think is going to make it memorable is Fitz coming back and performing well after the injury last year. And then the defense that we have is special. And they stepped up and shut down the nWo receivers. Peters, Dantzler...and yes Smitherman are so underrated across the league. And I think that should change now. All three are really good and did a good job last night. But the thing I also enjoyed was from a football standpoint it was a very clean game in terms of how we played in all three phases of the game. The passing game could have been a little bit better but 11-18 is a good night with no interceptions yet again. We rushed the ball well with Fitz and Kylin having over 100 yards and Aeris had a good night as well even though he didn't get to 100. The offensive line did a good job against a defense that tries to outnumber you. And defensively we had three turnovers, I think we had four sacks if my memory is correct and shut down an offense that piles up yards. Simmons and Sweat are special and were special last night. And Erroll Thompson continues to remind me of Barrin Simpson 2.0 but with a better frame that will probably land him in the NFL instead of the CFL. Abrams was outstanding and maybe the MVP of the game. And then on special teams we were pretty clean other than having two guys wearing the same number jersey. And we did all of that on the road.


Time will tell where this ranks but right now this is where it is for me.
