re: OLine got whipped

when Shough was throwing TDs in the first 3 quarters he had time and comfort to process and find the receivers

not really. he's been under duress all 3 games. this one was worse than the first 2 is all. His first 2 TOs in the 4th were not his fault: he was blindsided for the fumble, and his LT was bowled into him right as he threw the ball for the INT. The following TOs were a result of pressure, him playing scared and him being incredibly uncomfortable in the pocket. That LT spot is a major concern now without Banks

My gripe with Shough this game was his hesitancy. That 4th down play was 100% on him. The ONLY thing you can't do is take a sack. An INT means nothing at that point. If you don't throw the ball, then the play is over. You have to give your WR some type of chance. He didn't, and that's on him.

This was a sloppy game from the start. It unfortunately collapsed in the 4th. This is why you can't continue to rely on being "a second half team." That is unsustainable; you must start developing leads early.
