We've now played three games against sub-.500 teams where we either lost or very nearly lost. That's no fluke when it happens three times.

This is a good but not great team that is fortunate to be 9-1.

He isn’t great in the pocket either though. Would love to see the broken down data on this

I saw the data somewhere. I will see if I can find it.

His side-arm passing results in numerous blocks & deflections, too.

No the whole loss. Defense gift wrapped a TD after that pooch punt.

The bad part is this loss being stated as a loss to a bad team.
