I think what that game did was expose our weaknesses. Both sides of our lines were beaten up and down. Offensively, we realized that we’d been leaning on a crappy O-Line all season, but Allen made up for it. In this game, Allen was off, and we suffered the consequences. We had it coming. Allen and Diggs need help, and our other players need to step up.
On the D-Line, we realized that we pretty much sucked without Von. Injuries compounded the problem. And our D scheme was pitiful… playing soft, allowing QB’s to get the ball out quickly, and not allowing our linemen to get to the opposing QB. Our secondary was decimated..
I think we’ll be back in the mix.. but definitely tempering expectations.
