Had to DVR the game to do the trick or treat thing. Just finished watching it and it was a much better game than I expected.
1) P2 is washed up or his heart isn't in it. In hindsight think we probably should have dealt him when he was demanding a trade. It was tough to fathom at the time as we didn't have much talent to sacrifice, but the whole thing with wanting volunteers and not hostages is a real thing.
2) Dang it was refreshing to see a RB who could make plays and also was fighting for each yard. Instead of running out of bounds Drake would cut back into the contact and get a few more yards. He was running down the middle with commitment. It's one game, so who knows but he looked way better than DJ has in a long time. Drake looked like a competitor out there and only had a few days to prepare. Don't get me wrong, Chase balled vs the Giants but I think that was outlier.
3) Kyler is still looking good but he needs to throw the ball away or just go down and accept a loss of a few yards when a jail break happens. Scrambling back 15 or 20 yards and getting sacked is can't happen.
4) KK has been doing some nice play calling and then inexplicably starts deviating from what is working or makes a terrible decision. That challenge at the end of the game was as bad as going for it on our own 30.
5) Our run defense looked decent overall. I'm over zone blitz when we can't cover without it. I'd rather see cover zero blitzes and try to get home. Vance needs to get a scheme together that prevents the defense from getting picked apart in the passing game.
