Pretty much confirms what I think about this team.. we have talent on both sides of the ball but still can't bring it consistently. Our defence decides our fate in so many ways.. yes turnovers usually decide the game.. but when our defence is up and about and flying around the ball.. it seems to give the offence a jolt.
Also loved that we just ran the ball.. even after Eagles come off a weak week of secondary D and lots were calling for pass heavy O.. we stuck to the run and that just allows so much control on both sides of the ball. That first series turnover was just crucial.. it allowed us to get ahead on the board, trust our best weapon (Zeke) and we never looked back.
It is a really simple formula and looks fantastic when it works.. big issue is that it is still weak when we get behind or have to move away from the run.
FWIW I am no fan of Dak as our solution at QB.. but I liked his play tonight.. other than that strange and bizarre long deep ball that got picked.. and I thought his reads at scrimmage were great.. also used his legs a bit. One of the better games I have seen out of Dak and I liked it.
