I will start with the Ugly
-Second fake punt....no element of surprise and a really crappy play call. You had more than 5 yards to gain. A run up the gut is almost never getting that.
-Going for 2 when they did. Just flat out ridiculous. You get the game to a one possession game and then go for 2
-The DL and pass rush. Just terrible. Ryan had all day. The move to a 3-4 is a terrible one in my opinion. have Tank dropping into coverage on important third downs is awful.

Bad
-Jaylon just keeps getting burned...he can't change directions and seems to have zero instinct. He would be in the ugly class but he did make a couple key tackles.
-The early focus. You can't have Zeke and Dak putting us in a huge hole.
-Early play calling on offense. Every fan on here knew that we should be using short passing game early to see how OTs held up...yet we are dropping back 5 and 7 steps early.
-Secondary not in the picture on multiple completions.
-Connor Williams against any powerful DT

Good
-Dak after the first quarter
-Zeke all day...he ran hard again and with a purpose.
-Lamb is a baller.
-Gallup with those contested catches. He comes down with the jump balls more often than anyone has a right to.
-Knight was great in replacing Tyron
-Steele competed all game, gave up a few mental mistakes but come on, he is a first year UDFA
-Joe Thomas has looked pretty damned good replacing LVE

The second fake punt actually played a huge part in allowing the come back. I wish they would’ve just flat out went for it though. The coaches knew the defense wasn’t stopping anything and it didn’t matter it it were a half field or a whole field .

Yes, in that case I was 100 pct for the offense staying on the field for 4th. You have a better chance with Dak and Zeke then you do with a fake punt when they are waiting for it.

Let's consider Cooper with his improbable catch.

That was a great splash play on a ball that could be argued was overthrown. He made a great play getting open and a ProBowl play on the catch.

I was going to say that if we didn’t pull this out the good would be we are one step closer to getting Lawrence but you have to give credit where credit is due- Dak did well to get the win. I like to see him do this against good defenses though.
