Gruden is calling a MUCH better game. You never know where we’re going to run the ball. Could be outside or in, Up the middle, left or right. Could be a slant pass or sideline. And it wasn’t just the first couple series either, he’s all over the place with his play calling, in a good way.
But the fuckin defense is the story here. Holy shit, they’re absolutely terrorizing Daniel. He doesn’t know whether to throw the ball or wai for another second. He doesn’t know whether to slide up in the pocket or to the side, he has bodies flying at him from all over the fuckin place.
And this is why the first 4 games were so fuckin frustrating, because we KNEW we had the horses to play this kind of game and we just weren’t even coming close to it.
I think CHI is going to come out in the 2nd half with Tyler Bray at QB, and I think that could cause us some problems.
So this is the big question for us always, right? Can we match their adjustments in the 2nd half or are we going to fall flat and shot the bed? With a 17 point lead, I think if we can score at least 7 more in the 2nd half we should win this. Their offense just hasn’t shown any ability to move the ball on us.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
