If you let this defense play with a lead good things will happen, that hasn’t happened often enough. Getting down by multiple scores is a pattern throughout the year.
Last year the offense was weird with the whole Gurley situation, this year the running game has been ok but I keep waiting for someone to break one.
How many games have been lost cuz of turnovers, Miami? No doubt. SF, probably. Jets? I’d say yes. Seattle? Yes. I don’t know what the issue is but this is the 2nd year of these issues, and these aren’t high risk small window throws. Goff himself admits many were just ill advised. I’d be curious to know how many turnovers have been on rollouts, those boots haven’t been near as effective as they were and it cuts the field in half.
Gurley was the one guy who could make everyone better, he made the oline better, he made Goff better cuz you had to account for Gurley, same with the WRs. Now there are very good players no great ones.
If this team isn’t going to get explosive plays then they have to be efficient, converting on 3rd down, scoring tds when you get inside the 5.
McVay has a lot of work to do.
