[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 746356, member: 10086"] I think Hundley improved some this week, he initially looked more comfortable and had some nice first downs early on.. but obviously not enough to overcome the poor Defensive play. Our Defense couldn't get off the field, they recorded just 1 sack and very few pressures. Any competent QB that you let dance around the pocket will tear you a new one. We also had one drive that stalled at the 20 yard line and got ZERO points? I also saw some throws into tight coverage that were pretty accurate and a sliver from becoming big plays. The game often hinges on keeping drives alive and those several missed plays were deal breakers in Lions territory on at least 2 drives that I remember. Our game plan should have been focusing on short to midrange higher probability pass plays to get the ball out quickly with an occasional long throw to keep them honest (using TE's and FB in aggressive pass coverage normally helps because they can generally win the physical battle), running the ball (with our RB who just had 2 consecutive 100+ yard games) and converting 1st downs and eating the clock. Instead we start by throwing behind the line of scrimmage 5 of the first 7 plays? My goal would have been to have the ball for around 33-35+ minutes. That would steal a drive from Detroit. Instead Detroit methodically controlled the clock and left our Offense on the sideline and had the ball for nearly 37 minutes! while meanwhile our Defense was exhausted. Below average execution and even worse game management will cost you most games and this game was a prime example. [/QUOTE]
