Thats was an ugly win, but a win is a win and good teams will win that way sometimes. That doesnt mean I think we are a good team.
Our run blocking was actually pretty good today, I think we are on to something finally as far as our o-line goes. I cant remember and runs for losses and we had plenty of 1st's.
However, our pass protection overall was god awful, Losman held on to the ball to long, too often, but the lions share of the blame goes to a pourous o-line. The left side did well, but the middle and right was terrible. Villarial, Pennington, and Fowler all gave up a sack today.
Losman did not have a good game and looked off his game all day until the end and the big throw to Evans. I wasnt happy with the lenght that he held the ball today, he took a few sacks where he could have got the ball out. But, there was some progression in this game too. We didnt see a single tunrover. We may not like the sacks but Ill take a punt over a turnover any day of the week. He has had too many tunrovers as of late but today didnt do it once.
That said, he didnt exactly take the team by the bootstraps and force a win either. The TD was nice, but either our D was swarming or GB gave the game to us. If our D caused the win, thats just fine with me. Most people realize that a top notch D, average QB, and average run game can put you in the SB.
I liked our intensity on D today, Williams, Kelsay, Schobel all had nice plays. Our secondary was not a scapegoat today. Clements has a nice play, but also a bad one. Whitner and Simpson gave up yards, but both also made nice plays.
Flecther had an outstanding game. I was feeling like he needed to be let loose, but even at 30 something, Id like to see us resign him. He plays really strong.
On my downside:
McGahee. It may not be a popular belief but I feel that this guy hasnt lived up to his billing. That one run to the left side, he ran for 9 but got tripped up by yet another shoe string tackle. Yet, A-train came in and basically dragged guys for additional yardage. At 6 something and 230 or so, I wouldnt call McGahee a finesse runner. So if he doesnt have deep speed, he doesnt have incredible vision, and he isnt a hard to drag down guy, what is he? Theres no denying that he is a good RB, but is he all we need? Is he a guy that can carry this team? Im not so sure on either count.
Spikes. Heres another guy that is supposed to be our star. Yet again he was very quiet. No one is saying he isnt good, but is he a star on a lack luster team?
Our offensive production was putrid. We have to get it going there. We need to improve our pass protection and JP needs to continue to develop.
