I lied, I guess I have more to say about it
Our defense is ok, nothing spectacular, but that was expected after losing so much. They're learning, but they aren't really able to be relied upon to bail us out of bad situations like previous seasons.
Our Oline has believed the hype, drank their own koolaid, are resting on their laurels. Whatever you want to say, they are overrated. Well maybe not so much overrated as much as they are just not playing up to their potential. word play I know, but it's not as if everyone thinks they're capable of something they are not, they just aren't playing up to the level they absolutely can be. Not consistently, I still see a lot of guys with little effort and falling down etc. If they all played as a unit and consistent, they would be what everyone thought they would be. It was better than last week, but there are still guys not getting it done on a down to down basis.
Penalties kill this offense, so they have to play more cleanly. and Our QB is our QB. he can be up, he can be down, he can be anywhere in between. It worked out, but man, sometimes he is so inaccurate. that first TD was all the running game. I know he completed a couple passes to receivers with zero coverage around them, because everyone was playing run. He can't make teams pay enough for that consistently. He can take a big play, a huge game changing play, and make it just a decent play because of where he puts the ball. I can't even say the short and underneath stuff would be better because he's often off on those too. In the dirt, over the head, behind, in front and they're very susceptible to being tipped or picked. and if it's too short, like a dump off, he's likely to put it 3 feet over their head with the velocity of a 60 yarder.
WI was outplayed much of the night. We got the right breaks. We did some good things too, it's not like it was just completely lucked into, but penalties killed some drives because once we're behind the chains it's a 30-70 proposition that our QB can make a play to give us another set of downs. IA completed some big plays on offense, but the D also stepped up as well. That 4th down stop to start was huge, obviously.
