And the thing that is a bad sign to me is that this was exactly reverse of the script in years past. They got beat by one QB run. There were no gashing 9 yard runs behind 7 OL. There weren’t 5 yard after 5 yard brutalizers up the middle. They hit 3 passes in the 4th quarter, but there weren’t backbreaking 15 yard crosses and outs. The D eliminated all of that. Yet the offense, supposedly the strength of Day and ZOMG CHIP KELLY, was dogshit, particularly schematically. If you can’t win the game when the opposing offense does next to nothing…then when can you?The defense allowed 234 yards and 13 points. You cannot seriously lay any real blame on the defense when the offense continually hung them out to dry.
