Yada yada yada. I get it.
But that loss and AT HOME (!) still makes me scratch my head.
We got the same smack down that we just layeth on the Stoolers
What exactly happened? How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again - especially not the final game of the season where we will surely be needing a win.
Like I said in my underappreciated thread about the offensive adjustments, the reason we lost to the Jets and Browns is simple.
Defenses adjusted and started focusing Chase, but we hadn't adjusted ourselves. In the Browns game, Mixon only had 13 carries (for 64 yards and 2 scores). Without Chase, our pass offense isn't as dynamic, yet we were still throwing like it was (40 passes vs Cleveland).
Over the last 2 weeks, we've adjusted and have been feeding Mixon (30 and 28 carries), and targeting other WRs more.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
