Man, this team has some energy.  And swagger.   When they play with energy, they are really hard to beat.   And Blake.  What can we say about Blake?   Has the light bulb gone on?  Are we seeing the future?  Have we solved our QB conundrum?   This is exciting stuff.  

Sometimes you don't realize what's happening until long after it happens.   What did Jalen Ramsey say?  Something like "We were sorry last year but we aren't this year."

This. As recently as 3 or 4 games ago, I was still talking about who we were going to draft/sign to replace him but he does seem like a different player. Do the different receivers have anything to do with this? Maybe it's that he seems to be getting a little more time now that the OL is back to full strength and starting to gel. He's always been a great athlete and seemed to understand the system well enough but really suffered with accuracy issues. If he can keep this up, we have a shot at making some noise in the playoffs.

Some of his throws lately are into very tight windows, where inches mean the difference between a completion and disaster.   I'm not watching his fundamentals, the game is going on and I have no time for that, but I do remember one play where on the replay I noticed him just snap the throw with a very short motion, like they teach QBs to do, and it was a completion over the middle.  I know, as a lifelong golfer, that changing a golf swing takes a very long time.  Maybe all the coaching is starting to take effect with Blake.  I don't know what it is, but if this is his new level of play, we have our quarterback.
