All this, despite two new receivers, his best TE out for the first half of the season, the offensive line struggles you mention, and the fact that they played against some of the best defenses in the league.
Yeah, I would say they are hitting their stride. Even the running game looks better.
The problem is there is no improvement...actually seem to be getting worse (which I didn't think was possible) on the defensive side of the ball.
You could tell from some of his throws Sunday that he's got some form of "shell shock" from the lack of protection. It seems like he knows that the line isn't going to give him anytime to throw on every drop back, so his passes are hurried.
