Re: not necessarily

I hope you're right. But the fundamental issues on the OLine, play calls, and recent defensive hiccups in communication remain.

It's funny how I watch Brees throw three pics (two caught) and Aikman makes excuses for him but Goff hits Woods in the hands and Troy blasts that Goff didn't throw it far enough outside. The bias is obvious and irritating.[/quote]

I don't think those are recent issues, I think those are the problems of one game.

Communication? They didn't come to play.

OL? They didn't come to play plus the Jets DL just matched up with the Rams OL.

Now that doesn't guarantee they will win every game starting this week. But the OL and defense have both performed better than they did last Sunday and I think that's the trend and the Jets game is the exception.

The offensive line has performed well but through a more limited gameplan. You're right that the Jets game was a bad matchup but so were the Bucs and by performance standards, the 9'ers. The recent communication breakdowns I referenced occurred against both the Cards and Jets. McVay has times when he is brilliant and stretches where he SEEMS to lack answers. Now, he may have answers developed in the plays called but the team doesn't seem prepared to execute them.

I have a difficult time believing the team "didn't come to play" even though it sure looked that way for most of three quarters. The Jets collectively played their best game of the year. Hopefully that game will be the last we see of whatever that was last Sunday
