Yep. That was my point. Seemed designed to push the ball downfield early. I've never been a fan of taking a deep shot to open the game, which I believe the first play was. Puts you in a hole on 2nd down. Didn't really try any swing passes either. All seemed 10-15+ down the field.
With every game I am really starting to get away from the "We gotta spend out 2015 first rounder on a QB" camp. Which could be a very good thing. Keep improving Davis...
That's your opinion. Enjoy it. Own it. It's not mine and I'll express mine when I want. We don't know if Hill would have played better. That's where it's at and there's nothing else to say.
I dont see any point anymore to debate between Hill and AD. AD is the starter unless he sucks for a long stretch and is benched. Would Hill of done better or worse? Who knows and i dont really care, Im happy with AD and hope he continues to impress and develop. Really loving Davis now.
Two of the four I felt he could have avoided. The o line sucked but that doesn't make AD perfect.
Nah. Shotty is winning me over. Not sure what is going on with our line and our D though.
I think I need to hear from Boudreau and Williams soon. Because I'm not sure either.

The two strip sacks were pretty much unavoidable. Short of Davis pulling a rabbit out of his ass, he was dead to rights. The second sack by Barwin was avoidable. Davis tried to run to a seam instead of showing patience and sliding in the pocket. The DT cut him off and he was sacked from behind by Barwin. The first Barwin sack was unlikely to be avoided. Davis might have been able to scramble and throw it away and had a very small window to climb the pocket but he had 2-3 players break free to his left which forced him to scramble right and he was tripped up by Barwin to his right while trying to climb the pocket to escape all the pressure to the left. Very tough sack to avoid.

You are correct. I don't know how I missed the first drive when I was rewatching. Davis was terrible the first two passes, but good the rest of the half.

At the end of the day a loss is still a loss.Davis is doing everything he can for us to win and yet we still get inconsistency from the most veteran part of our team.The offensive line.
Does anybody else's heartbeat starts to race when he throws a deep ball and u can't see the intended target in the tv screen?
you got shotty calling no back sets on 3rd down with no pass protection.
Sorry but alot of those sacks were not on davis.

Yes.
But I think that is also part of what he does well. These big receivers can win the ball - give them the chance to do it. Force them to.
It's not always about moving around. A QB that reads defenses well and can anticipate an open receiver can get the pass off and avoid the sack. Davis was excellent today. I was ticked about the first two passes I guess.
