They were obviously not prepared and for Zac to blame the game on a couple of fumbles and some missed tackles is so amateur. We could have won the game without those for sure, but, that doesnt change the most obvious issues:
Everyone in the world knew that NE's only chance was to run the ball. They still rushed for 170.
Burrow was pressured the 3rd least in his career and still only averaged 5 yards per attempt. This game plan of taking only what the defense gives you is pathetic. Why wont every team just play us like this? Other than Jamar we have ZERO chance at yards after the catch.
Our RBs averaged 4.9 yds per touch but rarely got the ball.
We likely need to fix more than just a couple fumbles and some missed tackles.
