Marino's all 22 analysis makes sense.
What killed us? In potential order of importance:
Dropped passes.
Awful YAC.
Missed tackles (19!).
Bad running (Cook in particular).
Injuries
Bad run design into a loaded box (Dorsey).
Poor officiating (but on both teams).
Four out of seven (bolded) of these can be traced to the fact that these guys were visibly not juiced to play. It sounds silly to even say that, with millions on the line, but the ridiculous amount of missed tackles, low YAC, poor run decisions and dropped balls were probably directly correlated to the poor decision to arrive in London on Friday.
In a game of inches, just one play can mean the difference. Our offense only seemed alive for the last part of the first and second halves.
Side point 1: I agree with Marino that Josh was really good in this game.
Side point 2: As the all 22 showed, Elam was not that bad ... and actually flashed some solid upside. Wrong angles at times. He was picked on, yes. But he's making rookie mistakes. Despite being an NFL fan for 40 years, I'll never understand how some fans come away with such strong takes based on a few seconds of camera footage in live games.
