Don't be concerned about the last two games

What has happened the last few weeks has been fairly obvious: the defense is getting gassed from being on the field for so long due to quick offensive strikes. This allows offenses designed around big plays to have way too much time to throw. Also, the refs are working overtime to fug us over. We can't control the latter, but we have shown that, even as gassed as our pass rush or secondary has been, we are still making big plays at big moments and overcoming them both. Once we get Charles Johnson back against Dallas, we'll be able to rest our defensive ends more and that will greatly help us keep up. 

We're 8-0; don't fall into the narrative. It was never going to be easy to beat Green Bay and Indianapolis. We withstood late-period onslaughts with a gassed defense and played past the refs.

We won the ToP by 4+ minutes...if the D is really getting gassed then they really need to work on some conditioning because these quick throw offenses do seem to be wearing them down in the 4Q....they dominate for 3Q's then just fall right off.

Neither side of the ball was good in the 4th. Green bay attacked Benwikere and Tillman all day. Offense couldn't stay on the field, run blocking was just terrible.

Dude if we sucked that bad we would have lost.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
