Yeah Steichen sort of fucked himself today. Seems like we fell behind and he just abandoned a lot of the field opening shit we have been doing all year. Though the OL was not doing anyone any favors.

Too much passing abandoned the run too early. DJ is not a hero ball QB like Mahomes or Allen. Like any other QB he will make mistakes if you keep getting to him.

Where are the QB designed runs? I mean, DJ is an athletic QB. I would think that we have some in the playbook?

That INT on 2nd and 1 when JT looked like he was getting going really hurt

Felt like we expected a huge emphasis on stopping the run and a lot of empty pockets in the zone and game planned for that, which it certainly seemed to be working early. Sadly it seems like we were unwilling to deviate from the game plan once it became clear the OL was not going to give consistent time to complete those timing routes. Suddenly we're down and Steichen just came obsessed with trying to get it all back at once until it was too late.

Very poorly coached and executed game.
