I certainly don't think Matt got it perfect but at the end of the day in spite of injuries IF our guys had executed better, his coaching would've likely still been "enough" at bare minimum to see the win through.I haven't watched the entirety of the game back again yet (and frankly I don't know if I will. I'm not a *********) but in the second half you can pretty clearly see some instances where Matt's dialed up pass plays that structurally are "working". We'd have guys running free but the OL's getting blown up and not able to pick up DA's blitzing and so Love doesn't have the time to get the ball to these guys. The playcalling itself wasn't "bad" or even "ultra-conservative" or whatnot, just on a lot of occasions we weren't able to execute those calls. And I'm sure some will say something like "well, then he should've adjusted the protection" or whatnot. Sure, I guess. Easier said than done. Our OL was also hard hit by injury and sometimes regardless of protection shifts your guys just aren't getting it done. I don't know. It stinks and I'd like to have an easy scapegoat but watching back a little bit it doesn't feel so much like some sort of fundamental playcalling/coaching collapse is the sole explanation</blockquote>
