Week 12 Game Synopsis

It was obvious before the game, but it's undeniable at this point. Teams are going to blitz the fuck out of us until we beat it. That likely means going back to some of what Steichen used to do before this year.

There was certainly a way they were going to lose that game. 11-point lead with 8 and change... 3-point lead with 5 and change... and a 4th-and-3 where Ward got his feet tangled and fell down, etc.

We needed our offense to do slightly more than nothing in the 4th quarter. Instead, they did exactly nothing.

The defense was odd, because they gave up a bunch of LONG drives, but then locked down at the goal line. Part of that is why they were probably gassed towards the end (not sure how much of that was them getting killed on crossers/mesh routes)...

But even more egregious was four consecutive 3-and-outs in the 4th/OT. I was really surprised. We haven't seen that since last season with AR throwing it into the stands.
