Atlanta wasnt the only team.this year carving out passing yards against this defense for long drives. This isnt just one game. This is just one of a bunch of things to address in bye week. They has to be personnel changes. And if we are going to rely on Mike Evans all year, that won't work. We need to free agency hard. Vikings rams seahawks chiefs giants are some of the remaining games of the year...
I've said it week after week. We've given up record amount of 10+ play super long TOP drives against us. Days like today, we have zero pressure. So our scheme is wide open underneath, because it's bend but don't break, and then we tackled poorly.
ultimately, none of the three phases played well today
defense couldn't get a stop and gave up tons of first downs.
offense turned the ball over 4 times
ST missed PAT and gave up really good returns, not for TD but a ton of yardage.
hopefully this was just a perfect storm of guys being exhausted, hurt, east coast game on a short week.
a part of me is glad the guys have to have this bad taste in their mouth through the bye. Maybe it'll help them stay focused and realize they aren't unbeatable
