His demeanor was appropriate, given how his offense performed. So, no, I have no reason to think he was ill. Watch the postgame presser. He certainly does not seem ill there, beyond his reasonable disgust at the way his offense just played.

I don't think the play-calling was so bad, Sunra. The short throws occurred as much because of pass pro breakdowns as anything else. You can't throw long if you don't have time. He might have run more, but without time to throw, Dallas was stacking the box. And I think they were trying to open the passing game up a bit against Dallas's secondary. It didn't work, no doubt. But it's not clear that it was strictly play calling. One play where I was dissapointed was throwing on 3rd and short that led to the INT. Otherwise, I think the plays were ok, but we couldn't block long enough to allow them to develop.

Hopefully, Zorn will get it on track. Seattle is a must win, no doubt.
