The defense was playing soft against the Packers because all we needed to do was not give away quick scores. Today we were down four key players - five once Rousseau went off.
The offense is the big question but sadly it shows how reliant we are on Josh. When his game is off we have no one to pick up the slack. And his game has been off since the fourth quarter last week.
Yes, the run defense was hideous. But it did not help that we were down four key players in Hyde, Milano, Poyer and White.
And they were shattered by the end of the game because the offense didn't do enough to stay on it.
Why was it 17-17 and not 20-10/24-10/27-10/31-10???
INT, INT, missed easy throw to Shakir/overthrowing Diggs, missed field goal (last one on Bass, not Josh, though the final two calls/executions on that drive were poor)
He didn't need to be superman today to win. It was the basics that let him down; plays that you would expect rookies to make.
Can we ask to NEVER have a week seven bye again?
Since the fourth quarter against the Packers, Keenum wouldn't have been much worse in the passing game. Yes, we would have missed the bombs but maybe he wouldn't have thrown straight to defensive players.
Of course I'm not advocating benching him but he's been painful for five quarters now.
I would prefer him to pull out of Kyle Brandt's podcast and just go persona non grata other than official engagements this week, though. Get grounded again.
He was fine in the first two quarters against Green Bay. Even the third he wasn't bad. It's the fourth quarter onwards; it's like his head is elsewhere.
Better they score the TD fast. Now just have to hope Josh is back in sync.
Don't know what's happened to him since the fourth quarter against Green Bay.
