Sorry folks. No way to not say it. EJ just blew this game. He flusterd easily, made poor decisions, highly inaccurate (hope Goodwin recovers) and just missed too many reads. He needs to learn from it but come on, you can't defend it, he stunk today.
Schwartz needed to bring heat much earlier on. It was effective when he did. LB's no match for great TE's. McLovin and Gilmore are just playing poorly. Still, a few plays on 3rd and long and it would have been much closer. In the end, O lost his game.
We have a green QB who gets rattled easily and makes poor choices consistently. At this point he is not a threat as a comeback QB. The O Line is not good. Guards are the weak links. It appears that if our D Line doesn't play lights out 100% of the time, our secondary is ordinary at best and Linebackers a liability in coverage.
You can't blame Hackett. The plays were there, receivers open, EJ flat out missed them, made bad decisions and nearly got Goodwin killed. The penalties by the O were just awful. Terrible game. A winnable game lost.
I saw a couple of dummasses as well. Worst part is that they were adults. 40 plus year olds acting like idiots. The overwhelming majority were just having a good time and enjoying a big win.
Just leaving the game. The good, EJ is making the right reads and is going to the right places. The bad, EJ is just not accurate enough yet. Watkins should have had two more TD's with better throws.
Growing up in Buffalo I spent a lot of time in So. Ontario. On "just folks" level, we are they and they are us. We're hockey addicts, sports nuts, hard working and been known to enjoy beer a every now and again. And now we get to continue to love our Bill's!
Russ has done what he promised. He may need to take a different role underserved to finish the year. Whaley is a keeper. His moves so far have been great.
