Watching the game again, All 22, confirms my feelings:

-Coverage by our ILBs improved tremendously from last year. Mason Foster had a REAL solid game, key tackles on 3rd down pass plays, TFLs, tipped ball...

-Dunbar is turning into the real deal.

-Johnathan Allen is a beast.

-I can't quite get my finger on why we don't generate more pass rush... The second INT was caused by pressure (Allen, Kerrigan and Smith), good position by Foster, and DJ making the play though, so I'd be curious to see pressure stats from this game.

-I also don't think Smith left that much on field. Made a nice deep throw to Richardson in the 3rd QTR. He overthrew Crowder on a go route. Overall I'd say the receivers weren't open that much...

Finished the game, other things I saw:

-Luck did make some really good throws under pressure. And a couple of bad ones, amongst which a 3rd down incompletion which could've been key if our offense had been alive. So while I agree we need more productivity from our pass rush, we did generate some pressure in this game.

-Smith made another real tight throw to Reed late in the 3rd. But late in the 3rd and 4th he coulda/shoulda taken some shots.

-Reaaaally bad performance by the OL. Even Scherff had a bad one in the running game...

-I agree with those saying we need more in game adjustments, and that was obvious on the defensive side of the ball: they were running pick play after pick play after pick play late in the game and we still had absolutely no answer!
On their last TD drive, I think there was only one pass play that wasn't a pick play...

It's not a must win, but I strongly encourage winning. Starting off 0-2 at home is no bueno. Also, the team needs to give away tickets or do whatever it takes to fill the stadium up with Skins fans. Game hasn't even started yet and I'm already annoyed by how many Packers fans are there.

D was far from perfect but played well enough for us to win. 9 points at home against Indy is awful on so many levels.

With Duke Johnson getting almost no play in Cleveland, what would others think about trying to make a move for him? He is under a new contract (it might be a little high, but not bad). He could be a good pairing with AP/CT this year and DG/CT next year.

No, we should let our next head coach pick next years roster.

That is a fair argument. So a one year FA pickup to spell us for the rest of the year then?

Perine should be active this week. Bibbs is on the practice squad if need be.

This dude toe better be hanging on by 1 bone. IR for a damn toe. We can’t catch a break.

Kelley just seems to always be hurt. He's another one that just can not stay healthy for the life of him.

On one of Luck's td passes the wr ran a short cross and no one even covered the guy. I mean no one. I'm sure they practiced against this play in practice. Why the communication breakdown?

I'm not even mad though about the d. Yeah they can't rush the passer but they played well enough for us to win that game.

I'm guessing here, but since it was the end of that "all pick play" drive, my guess is that after being torched over and over on pick plays they said "ok maybe passing WRs up would be nice idea?" but the info either didn't get to every body's ears, or one of DJ and Dunbar forgot about it and stuck with his player.

Watching that play again, just before the snap you can see DJ talking at Dunbar and pointing at Hilton, then Dunbar points at Hilton, that would mean Dunbar was responsible for Hilton but lost him in traffic, Hilton was outside and went inside while the TE and the inside receiver both went inside.

Blown coverage on what seems to be a late audible. That shit happens. More mad at Manusky for not adjusting earlier in the game, or at least during that drive.

How to beat wr picks plays ? Go zone.

All Luck was doing was getting to the line, moving someone or just seeing how we would line up to see if we were in man. So you disguise it or audible out

Yeah, we ought to try that once in a while. Our DC sucks.

I think Luck is generally overrated at QB, BUT he is a bright guy. The ignorance by Manusky to adjust is simply ego...him and Gruden have this effing ego and I cant figure out why. Are they generally stupid?

Season 5 for Gruden and we are still having Offense performances like that last week.

Its a serious problem imo. a serious problem that he simply will never be a good HC.

Agreed, this I was I'm more mad at the DC than the players...
