They had to keep forcing balls to Burton...who should have had more catches. He made some awkward attempts. I don't know what his deal is. Didn't seem to have that fight to get the ball. Mis-timed some. The deep throw seemed catchable. A really fast guy would have hit that extra gear and caught it and scored. He didn't seem to be running that fast and made an awkward attempt at catching it.
I agree about Burton. He looked off for lack of a better term. Not that he was ever on, but he isn't in lock-step with JB like Tee and Chase are. Even Chase Brown has better chemistry with Joe than Burton has.
I meant to quote Nico as well, but anyhow, he's spot on about them not using MG last night. Yes, they needed help blocking the pass rush, but he's not really a blocker to begin with.
Besides the PR was coming straight through the G and C for most of the night. Mims had a learning experience last night as well. MG is a short route specialist. In other words a QBs best friend when he only gets 1.5 seconds to get rid of the ball. Should have been targeted more imho.
