We played one yesterday that went 10-5 without their all World QB when he went down. And that was when the Patriots didn't have any all pro caliber skill players around him. Just good role players. Coaching staff adjusted and got the job done.
The Colts just won 2 games in what a 4 day span, or something like that, with their back up QB. Obviously they are in better health all around then us, so credit where that is due, but none the less their coaching staff adjusted and got the job done.
It's way harder, without a doubt, and no one is expecting Weeden to be all pro, or to win every game, but with better QB play, with a better offensive game plan that shows they actually have faith and trust their QB to play solid the Cowboys would have won 2 out of these last 3 games.
Yesterday, by far, was the worst lack of trust I've seen from the coaching staff in Weeden. It was the worst offensive performance, by a long shot. What did they have 7 three and out possession in the first half? 7 out of 8 possessions? Good Lord.
That's not just on Weeden being hot garbage, which he absolutely is, that's also on some pretty piss poor coaching which chose to go with the most basic, elementary offense, they could come up with cause they clearly have no faith in Brandon.
They were hoping for a miracle that the defense would suddenly be the 85 Bears and would just win because of that. That's piss poor coaching, on all levels. That begins, and ends, with Jason Garrett.
