Pre-Jets it was all #1 seed, playoff run, no team on the back of the schedule was a challenge.
Now, every team is a challenge.
They looked bad today, the OL was bad, the WRs had the drops (Chase 4, Higgins 2, Boyd underused), Burrow turned it over and the Defense got smoked.
It's a good time for the bye. The team needs to adjust, the NFL has film on Chase now and two weeks in a row he has been taken away. So the team is going to have two weeks to adjust a gameplan to use the running game more, use Boyd more, target CJ more.
Still not a panic mode. This is the first game this season where the team actually looked bad in all phases (minus the run game) and got blown out. It happens.
There is a little of overreaction. But the schedule isn't just us some of the teams are playing better mainly Raiders and Broncos even though the Raiders lost today.
Get Boyd more involved. I mean on a day when Denzel Ward is most certainly covering Chase and we target Boyd 2 times. I won't hold my breathe.
I also can't wrap my head around how bad this defense has become in this 2 game strectch. If we can't that figured out we aren't winning anymore games. I gave Lou a lot of credit and now he has to take a lot of blame.
