Yea, six runs in a row at the end--they did all that catching up, but totally lacked creativity. I get it, the clock might stop, or the receiver might catch it, and you'll have three more plays.

In these situations I've seen him go to screen passes a lot. It's low-risk, as far as interceptions go, and sometimes pays off huge.

By the way, I thought the same thing against Miami, and the Bears with the Defense at the end. They slacked off, and the last touchdowns in both of those games seemed entirely preventable.

Sometimes you've just got to go balls-out and keep playing the way you have been, and I think if the offense had just tossed a couple of short ones over the middle, which let's face it, has been mostly their run game, we might have gotten a first down on at least one of those drives, and come away with a win.

Still, hey, 5-1, well ahead in the division--what are we complaining about? They barely lost, in an away game, against probably the best team we've played so far. And they've got to play without some of their best players for the next few games.

It wasn't the first drive. It wasn't the second drive. It was the THIRD drive we failed to get a first down that really pissed me off.
