Our other players need to step UP, not step BACK. Keenum, Gurley (2 fumbles, fortunately only one lost), GRob, Fisher... we need them to step up and they were all instrumental in the loss. Even outside of the backups on the D line (I thought Easley looked pretty good)
Did the receivers drop even a single pass? Keenum had great receivers this game, and he failed them.
With all due respect, they were missing 3 key starters on the defensive line. I mean if you were betting on a game and heard that a team with a strong DL lost both DEs and a DT, would you bet for or against that team? Or let's say before the 79 superbowl, the Steelers DL lost 3 starters. You think they would just play as normal? I submit that no one has depth like that.
I always respond to the "well good teams deal with injuries" thing by pointing out that no, there is such a thing as
key injuries, and there is such a thing as multiple injuries to the same unit depleting that unit.
It's real, that's how it usually works.
I agree that Keenum's pick 6 was one of the 3 key mistakes that killed the game. Though I am not sure how you can say both that the receivers didn't drop any AND he didn't get them the ball. To know they didn't drop any he had to get them the ball.
Which, again, takes nothing away from the blame for the pick 6.
