Relax, we will rebound in Week 4 and beyond

I'm sure a lot of folks said that after the Green Bay collapse in week 3 last year. Fumbling games that are gift-wrapped to you will always come back to bite you.

Even more concerning, our head coach is showing the same flaws with a lack of game awareness with his playcalling in end-of-game situations. The 3rd and 16 play-call was wildly bad and goes to show that he still continues to lack fundamental awareness late in games.

In the standings are we really that hurt? Probably not. But it's a greater concern that we aren't showing growth in that area.

This was a weird game as both teams did their part in trying to lose. Some of those decisions made by the Eagles HC were total head scratchers. It's just that the Saints made their bad decisions at the end when it cost them the game.

For some reason, Jalen Hurts and that RPO offense always seems to give DA's defenses fits. His unit held up for the most part but you could feel that at any moment, it could break and it did. Allowing a 66 yard TD run to break the game open.

However, the lost is really on the offense. Kubiak, for some reason, was locked in on forcing the run and that cost them big time. It stalled drives and prevented them from taking advantages of a blocked punt and a turnover at midfield in the 1st half. It kept putting the defense back on the field and giving Hurts too many opportunities. They left points on the field with those mistakes and it was very frustrating watching that unfold continuously. I didn't get at the time and I still don't get what they were trying to do now.

But whatever, 2-1 and move on to Atlanta.
