I’ll get to the offense in a moment but man, the defense was terribly disappointing today. Marlin friggin Mack looked like Jim Brown out there. Actually, he looked like Marlin Mack, because any rb could have run through those holes. Defense was positively awful and need to stop buying into their own hype. They had one stop all day, when the TE dropped an easy pass and the Colts got called for penalties. I know they’ve help up their end most of the year but they need to go back to basics.
I have zero issues with the play calling. Zero. We dropped an easy touchdown, had a kick blocked, got sacked when we were in fg range, and got called for critical penalties when we did convert. That’s not coaching. It’s all player execution. And please don’t give me anything in that pass in third and one. A toddler could have called that pass, even if it was a little underthrown.
I’m sure some will criticize the coaching because the players weren’t ready. Okay, whatever.
On offense we know they’re limited. We’ve stayed in games only because of the defense. They had the time to work into games. The line was obviously limited but I thought they did well enough, except for the holding calls. We ran well enough.
The bottom line is that dak needs to be better for the offense to be successful. He’s holding the ball too long, he over and under throwing guys, he’s not feeling his way through the rush, he’s not running, and basically, he sucked badly today. I mean, worse than usual. You simply cannot have the lapses he’s had. And the record number of sacks he’s this year are mostly on him. He doesn’t look like a legitimate QB but he’s all we got so there is no choice but to stay behind him.
Of course, we could still end the day today as NFC champs so the season not over. Will still watch and root until the end.
