I am sitting on the plane, 34,000 feet in the air, wondering how the hell we lost to a crappy Rams team? The game felt in hand the whole time until the very end.
Stadium is nice. Not 5 billion nice but nice. Rams fans were super chill and cool. Even they were surprised they won.
Our seats were nose bleeds. They looked like ants. So tell me. What the hell happened?!?!
There is a lot of negativity about this team right now. Everybody wants to assign blame to someone. Geno, Waldron, Carroll.. just someone!!
I've seen this before... this is a case of a young team just not being consistant.. this O is flashing, they are right on the edge of making it happen and finding rhythm. They are really close! They can't seem to put 4 quarters of clean consistant football. It's like they run the ball for 2-3 yards, maybe a penalty, a good play by the opposing D and like a miscommunication between Geno and JSN, or a miscue by the O line...and I think it's just they are not as consistant as they need to be. I REALLY think it's NOT as major as people think.
I think part of it is that they don't really have a good right tackle. They don't have great play and consistancy from this O line. It's not just one thing it's a lot of small things that are correctable. It looks like it is Waldron but it's not.. It's EXICUTION of what Waldron is calling.
Typically it will be one game that sets this team off. Someone will make a big play then off we go. The O finds rhythm and they are off to the races. That hasn't happened yet.... but it will. It's just a matter of time staying healthy and putting together 4 quarters of consistant football.
This O when clicking can score on any team in the league...
Many think the season is over... it's not true. Yeah, I was hoping by this time they would have found consistancy. If Lucas was back, I think they would have found that consistancy. If they can't get something going on that right tackle position they are going to be in trouble. They gave to shore up that O line or SF is going to destroy them
12 penalty for 130 yards is NOT a winning solution that has to be cleaned up
Penalties were the reason the D gave up those TD drives. The D is playing well for the most part.
If Geno had not gotten hurt the Hawks would have won that game. Lock had I think, three possessions to make something happen and I think his poor performance was because he doesn't get enough reps. If Geno would have had those reps I'm totally confident he would have put points on the board.
Geno did his job. He went in hurt got his team in position to win the game and Myers missed from 55 yards. He has to hit that.. pure and simple...he did not. Hawks lose. Tough loss..
