I honestly don’t know who to blame anymore. When Geno played today he looked good for the most part. Drew Lock looked terrible but you can’t expect him to be great. Our defense looks really solid and I can’t even blame Jason Myers for missing a 55 yarder. JSN Lockett and DK all played well, and so did our RBs. Are we just unlucky with injuries? Is Pete the problem? Or is Geno really what is holding us back?
Look at the opening game script, and then look at the rest of the game. we were moving the pocket, avoiding the rush, using 12 and 13 personnel and the Rams didnt know how to defend it. after the first drive we were again predictable, often abandoning the run for no reason, then opting to take deep shots on 3rd and short and medium. When Drew lock, a backup QB game into the game, did we script him opportunities to succeed with short passes and a creative running game? nope, we decided 5 plays was enough to expect a guy off the bench to uncork a perfect deep ball. Shane Waldron has designed a great offense, and continually opens the game with absolutely beautiful scripts, then seemingly puts it all away and is scared to do anything the rest of the game. if you watch the tape in the last three drives there is no confusion, theres 5 rams defenders near every ball carrier. everyone knows what the fuck were going to do, because we decide, seemingly at random, to abandon what works for us.
