this is what happens when we play complementary football, with a lead, zero turnovers
This team is WAY too talented to play like it did the previous three games, specifically on defense. That was a complete joke. Brock was unusually bad against Cleveland (specifically accuracy - he was off on a ton of throws he routinely hits) but he still got us in position to win it at the end.
more so than anything, I was most disappointed in the defense. I think in those 3 previous games, our defense stopped the opposing offense from scoring in like 4 drives. You're not winning jacks**t that way.
You're not winning if you turn the ball over repeatedly in the 4th quarter. Regardless of how the defense played, both of those games were winnable in the 4th quarter before we turned the ball over multiple times.
Yeah it was ugly. A lot went wrong, including Brocks turnovers. No doubt. I'm not making excuses for him, I just think the entire team played like a bottom feeder and were lucky to be in those games.
