2 missed field goals that made it a 2 score game changed the way we played offense in the fourth quarter. Having to go for it on 4th down twice, instead of punting and pinning the Eagles deep. The first interception that gave them their first 7 points was a killer.
The defense was fabulous and deserved better. The offense seemed to get away from the run too early. I think the key play actually was after the Robbins interception Jacobs ran the ball for 11 yards and then 5 yards. He is then taken out of the game, and replaced by Ward. However they split Ward out and leave no backs in the backfield, so no need to worry about the run, and only have to cover short. Incomplete pass makes it 3rd and 5. We put ourselves into 3rd and long. When your back is averaging 5 yards a carry, and he gets 3 by falling down on almost every play, why change it up just to limit yourself on third down.
Not very good play calling or execution.
Good news is we get Osi back on defense which is better than a number 1 pick in the draft because he already has experience.
Need to sign Jacobs and find a big receiver.
This has been fun and I hope informative also.
See you next year!
