They play these guys again at the end of the year I what could be a very meaningful game.  The quarterback had been hurt for a month.  The starters have seen little to no preseason action.  

It's a dangerous thing to do IMO, as that kind of approach gets guys hurt.  I just can't really come up with a logical answer for the play of the qb, the offensive play calls, and the undeniable listlessness they showed.  This is especially true on offense.  

To boot, none of them seemed a bit concerned in post-game interviews.  The body language and approach were just strange for an actual NFL game.

Can't see that happening but the weather may have dictated an inability for JB to grip the ball very well due to his hand size.  I know I have smaller hands and can throw the ball fine as long as the conditions are good but once the ball is wet I have no control over it.  Just a guess, it sure didn't bother him against Buffalo in the playoffs last year.

I'm just baffled they continued to throw in those conditions when the run game was doing well.  That's on ZT.
