We should have won this game by two scores. But fumbles and mis communication plague this team.
To me it’s a chemistry problem. Too many QBs over the years. Bad oline inserted.
Still I saw some nice things from Ehlinger. Enough to keep playing him. See what happens when the game slows down for him. He makes pretty good decisions and he is showing good accuracy. He will throw deep and take chances

JT is definitely not himself. Still pretty good at 70%. Got stuffed on some inside runs, but some worked, too. The outside/misdirection stuff helps. Not only did Hines (led by Taylor) and Campbell have big runs... I think it was JT's 27-yard inside run where the defender let him run right past him because he was frozen not knowing where the ball was.
I'm actually encouraged by Ehlinger. Biggest reason was his maneuvering the pocket with eyes downfield and not panic running constantly. And his arm strength looked fine, deep balls were accurate.
Also, the explosive plays. We had passes of 47yds, 38yds, 22yds, plus a PI. And we had runs of 28yds and 27yds. All of that is great going forward.
But as for this game... it's redundant, but shit, we lost because we fumbled twice in the red-zone. Bare minimum that's 6 points off the board. It's about as bad as fumbling in your own red-zone and gifting the other team points.
