3.  What DID cost us this game, IMO was the offensive line, specifically it's inability, from the very first series of the game, to provide credible run blocking. 

 

This OL hasn't had credible run blocking for 17 straight games, now. 


 

4.  While I can understand the rationale behind going for the 4th down at that point in the fourth quarter, I'm not sure I agree with it.  As we have discussed in another thread, defense is the strength of this team, certainly at this early stage of the season.  Bradley should have played to those strengths.  By going for it there and not making it, it gave the Eagles the possession of the ball at point blank range.  The defense stopped them, but the field position resulted in a FG and a two score lead.  Had they punted away normally and given up a normal return and similarly stopped the Eagles then, a FG was no given, and there was still a chance to tie the game with a subsequent possession.  Yes the defense was tired, but I'd rather they be tired with more field to defend.

 

Disagree with the play call all you want, but the play was there to be made. Marcedes was open and should have had an easy first down. The pass was lousy but still catchable, and Marcedes got his 2 briefcases on it, only to have it skim them and hit the ground. A TE making the kinda coin he is is expected to make that catch. 


 

6.  Get well soon, Cyprien.

 

I was impressed with Cyprien today. Its a shame he got hurt. 

 

 

 

 

     c)  Allen Robinson-We have been waiting a long time to finally see him in action due to those dang hamstring injuries that kept him out of most of training camp and the preseason.  I wasn't expecting too much from him under the circumstances, but his use and accompanying lack of production was still disappointing.

 

 

Allen Robinson was a disappointment today, but I probably expected too much. 


 

Lee dropped an easy over the shoulder throw that would have been a big first down. 
Its clear that Lee is going to need Bortles before he becomes the kinda of weapon he showed in week 4 of the pre season. 


 

 

     i)  Allen Hurns-A most pleasant surprise and a very good debut.  After his second catch for his second TD, it seemed Chris Berman's tagline for Cris Carter (All he does is catch TDs) was appropriate for him.  He put a sick move on the go route down the left sideline to get the team off of the one.  The only knock is what should have been called a fumble late in the game.  Nevertheless, I am thrilled beyond measure with him.  In just this one game, this UDFA showed more route running acumen, ability to separate than first round busts Matt Jones and Reggie Williams, and infinitely more "want to" than Soward.  Every year, we fans like to latch on to these bargain basement, rags to riches mini camp and preseason heroes, only to be let down 99 times out of 100. He appears to be that one we've looked for.
