Did we finally have a complete game

the titan defense controlled too much of what we did in the first half and cam didn't have the protection he had in the past, mainly because the titan defense was doing so well. our defense let the titan offense get away with far too much in the first half as well.

i think we made some incredible adjustments in the second half, but there were just too many  things going on that first half that we just weren't prepared for (even though we adjusted to them later). much of that comes from a new HC and overall gamelan and scheme that we didn't have the luxury of preparing for as well as a new QB that has really only seen success at all since the coaching change.

one thing that helped us is that we are deeper and overall just stronger and i think we just plumb wore the titans out. we beat teams up physically and that happened to the titans. they were tough the first half, but they just weren't tough long enough. i thinkn they have the makings of a good team and i like mariota. i think, depending on who they get to HC, could end up owning the AFCS for the foreseeable future. mariota is cam-lite, imo. 

as far as a complete game....i think it's the best second half we've had in a long time. the meltdown that we usually have in the 2nd half....esp. the 4th quarter, we got out of the way early.

aside from the OL basically getting schooled in the pass rush by a better unit (at least for a while), i think the passing game was on point. the only times the run game didn't work all that well was when the titans were controlling the lanes in the passing game and they may have come up with a decent blueprint to beat our offense, or at least created something to build on. they just sold out and shut everything down on the line of scrimmage. the good thing is, we have done a good job of correcting errors and shoring up weak points on this team so i think we'll be ready.

the receivers were good. i mean really solid. they didn't have the drops and cam was getting it to them (when he had time). and the run blocking was as solid as i've seen it this year.

complete game? no. but it was closer to it than we've had in a month and gets me feeling good about the next couple months. i think we turned a corner.

    • It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.
    • And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.
    • You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
