felt like Kyler really established his back shoulder throw this game. (the Fitz touchdown, Hop touchdown, KJ sideline)

I haven't seen him target receivers like that when the DB has his back to the ball. Oh my, am I agreeing with Harry right now that Kyler hadnt been throwing receivers open? something looked different today...

He looked damn good today, at one point he had 13 straight completions. I feel totally positive we're getting a long completion every time he rolls out to an open spot on the right side. Having said that, boy was I using foul language when he over threw that pass on 4th down to KJ lol.

That overthrow to Fitz could have been back shoulder to give Fitz a chance to grab it. But Pobody's Nerfect.

My opinion only.

Kyler seems to want to throw too perfect of a ball which takes away the ability for his WRs to go up and get it. My guess is that the more experience he gets, the more he will trust guys to make a play on the ball when the DBs back is turned.

I noticed far better play calling

Its easier for a qb to make reads and throw the ball where it needs to go when the defense isnt keyed in on your tendencies all the time.

All of this comes down to coaching.

An NFL Head Coach is the most important position in football.

Kyler threw the ball with more confidence yesterday. He was decisive and I feel like it was because of all of the injuries to the Eagles secondary. We also didn't have a ton of drive killing mistakes which seemed to let us get into a rhythm early.

What I will say for Kyler is that he had a rough patch but then bounced back and that is something I have not seen a lot from him in a single game. I will take growth where I can get it.
