Highlights:
- Young ILB linebacker play
- Improved Safety Play
- Alexander continuing to shut down
- In the first half, Turner pulling and creative run scheming (this was absent in the second half)
Lowlights:
- Drops - 2 by 17, one by 13
- Patrick getting blown up on multiple occasions (perhaps it is Runyan time?)
- Moreover, against a physical DL, we were outmatched. This portends badly against playoff caliber teams we will be seeing the balance on the year
- Potential injuries on DL and LB and 30
Post game interview with 12 on NFL network was good as well as he essentially said that the offense sucked in 2h and they have to play better to do anything in the playoffs.
I think we are going to get our asses whipped by Tennessee and Chicago if Hicks is back and healthy. I hope I eat my words, but my expectations for us to do anything in the playoffs was lowered a notch yesterday.
We can talk about Jones, Williams, MVS, 12, and King, et. al. until the cows come home, but the biggest issue we have is in the trenches. On both sides of the ball we either have to get better, or play better, or both.
