It doesn't have to be stellar, St. Louis Rams greatest show on turf sort of production. But we need sustained drives, at least enough to where if we punt the ball, they won't get it at midfield. We need to sustain drives long enough to give the defense rest and to sustain them long enough to show threats on the ground and in the air. We need points (I would say about 17 offensive points) and no offensive turnovers and no killer penalties.

I agree with this. As I've shared with some of my squeeler friends, our team is young, good and still inconsistent. We can win any game and we can lose any game.

I think we match up well against pit but will need more out of our O if we think we are going to move on. On that note, I would like to see a few more of those tosses to Fournette, everyone is complaining about his explosiveness but when he hit the line at full speed he looked just as fast as his long run against the rams.

Bortles was obviously struggling with the pass this weekend and I'm glad that he found something the defense didn't have an answer for and started beating them with his legs. While I don't know that I would say the OL played poorly, I did feel that the pocket was getting impacted by the rush and making downfield shots even more difficult. I can't imagine that will be easier this week with all the blitzing pit likes to bring. Hoping we can figure out the pass pro a little better and Bortles finds his mojo to go deep a few times. I would also love to see a play calling mix that has us try a few more passes on 1st earlier in the game. It did feel very run, run, pass for most of the first half.
