It was ugly, no doubt....especially early! However this is the type of game we lost the last 2 games of the year that kept us from making the playoffs. We grinded early and the D kept us in it.....but this year we were able to find an offensive rhythm. The pass from Tannehill to Wallace deep was a thing of beauty that really got the offense going!

This team is a lot more mentally tough this year!

Quick note, Sturgis is gonna cost us a game. His kicks, even PATs are all over the place, even when they go in.
 
Its obvious to me that once this offense gets a rhythm they are hard to stop. The first half had no rhythm since the D was having long drives develop then pick 6ing or some other craziness. Sure, two 3 and outs hurt, but look what happens when they can open up. This O will be nice, this D continues to play strong, and I really think we can string together a playoff run out of it.

Screw ugly or pretty - its a win.

Yeah that deep ball was sweet. We fix our LG spot next year, Tanny will have more time to throw em per game.
Sturgis seems like a walk on signee, some dude off the street kicking. Yah, his PATs look so wobbly even - his technique is terrible. I can't help but remember Stoyankovic and Mare always bullseye'd those. Sturgis kicks them like 'whatever!'
 
The other thing is Wallace doesn't fight for that ball last year and concedes the out of bounds!
 
Wallace definitely wanted that one.

And he took the contact and made the catch.

He's manning up.

One thing I've noticed though: Wallace doesn't have his highest gear. He's still the fastest WR on the roster but his hammy still ain't 100 percent. I guarantee it.

College said he had migraines, and he mentioned that he took himself out of the game. That explains it. He is not as bad as he was playing.

The play of our QB gives me headaches too. I could only imagine having to block for him.
 
I think it had to do more with half-time adjustments. Lazor make them...in the past our former OC's wouldn't change ****
 
Lazor seems excellent at halftime adjustments. But is there anyway to make them earlier? They said we scored in the first possession of the second half in every game except this one I believe. That's pretty telling. We always come out of the half looking like a fresh team. And the offense always adjusts.

I was a little disappointed in the lack of plays that let Tanny roll out early on. It seems to me like he plays best when he's outside the pocket.

I get migraines. If that's the case it would totally make him useless. I can barely even walk when I have one.

Yeah put Lazor back in the booth to make those adjustments earlier.

Mentally tough is a good way to describe it.

It was great to see the offense however when it finally got rolling. Miller also did a good job running hard!

Yes he could've shrunk in the moment and lead us to zero points in the second half. Oh wait that's melty again.
