Our D got worked. Credit it to their coaching staff, or Jimmy G... but the D got handled for most of the game and their frustration poured out over it.
And it just goes to show, when the pressure is on and we're down and the D isn't making plays, Blake shows up, not Robby.

I think what’s getting lost is that I started this thread after the cardinals loss and I put a large amount of blame on Fournette for not being the RB we thought we were getting in that game. He was shutdown by that cardinals defense. If he played decent it would’ve been just enough to get the win. 

I didn’t want to start a new thread with a similar subject so here we are. But my gripe about last weeks game was that Fournette contributes to the loss because he’s very ineffective. The defense got worked and then self imploded in the second half. I think that group will be fine. Too many leaders and real talent on that side of the ball not to. 

But Fournette is weak. Grant, TJ and ivory have all taken turns looking better.

I kinda get what you're saying...
But Fournette is the better back of all them and it isn't close.

Now whether we play different and call plays different when he's in the line up is something to discuss and it becomes a question of coaching and playcalling.
If he's dinged up and not fully healthy, I wish they'd just let him heal and then put him back in. Seems like he hasn't been 100% since way early in the season.

Ivory especially has been nothing special this season. 1 good game against Cincy and 1 good run VS Seattle really.
In all of our losses the D hasn't played up to snuff or the QB/WR combos were off and STs didn't play well.
I fail to see any game where Fournette has been the problem. Even when we got sluggish running the ball, it was more about the health of the OL, imo.
