I believe the defense deserves the brunt of the blame for yesterday's loss. But the potential was there for the offense to score close to 50pts yesterday if not for a few critical drives.
First offensive drive of the 2nd half, we drive 70 yds down the field, get a great first down rz run from Zeke (screencap below) yet we don't get a TD. We don't even get a first down b/c Tron and Schultz get blown up on the 2nd down run play. Field goal.
Second, the drive after the Bland pick, Dak has to take the easy throw to 85 and move the chains. Instead he tries to fit in a throw to Pollard on the sidelines and gets his RB blown up by the safety. Field goal.
Third, very disappointing not getting a field goal to end the first half when you have a 3rd and 1 near midfield. Defender did not respect Dak's read on the option b/c he refuses to use his legs. Punt.
That's 11 pts left on the field.
