A lot of things changed after the Bye week. Ridders avoiding sacks instead of getting dropped (Thank God!), we finally got to see the run game we’ve wanted, and Bijan finally got going. But what didn’t changed was the refusal to use Kyle Pitts and shitty play calls. Do y’all think despite the win this game acts as yet another reason for why Smith should be fired? Or did Arthur fix some of his own problems?
If anything, we won in spite of Ridder.
In the second half, when we needed to salt the game away took the ball out of his hands and kept it on the ground, that’s a coach that chose to put the ball in the hands of his best players instead of making 9 the lynchpin of the offense and our team got in rhythm when they removed Ridder from the equation. He threw a good ball to Bijan form the the TD, but he’s still the same QB from week 3. Stares down his receivers and terrible decision-making with the ball. He doesn’t hold the ball as much but he’s due for two TOs a game.
