I'll start...the O-Line needs to gel/react accordingly. Didn't see a lot of improvement from last year. WAY too many sacks. Sacks don't win games.

Biggest thing for me is they are still not doing job one:  Protect Joe.  Maybe it was on Joe, too....holding the ball way too long.  1, 2, ball is out!  Not, 1, 2, 3, **** arm, get sacked, fumble, etc.  

If Joe has more games like this, he will not stay healthy.  They need to know their foe and if they came out with a non-sexy run first and run second and hit their guys on 5 yard patterns to move the chains and AVOID HITS AND TURNOVERS against a team you are 100% better than, you win that game going away.

SAME SCENARIO this weekend!!!  Learn from history.  Play ball control and defense and let your defense win the game for you and have your offense protect Joe and not turn the ball over.  I can forgive it this week.  If  you do the same GD thing again next week and lose to another turd QB...
