Yes it was an ugly loss. And yes maybe injuries played a role. But when you can not:
1.) Pass Block
2.) Run Block
3.) Run the ball well.
4.) Get separation with our wide receivers besides Graham, and Baldwin
5.) And most importantly Rush the Quarterback...,
Most of the time you will lose. Teams have figured us out with the passing game. Double Graham and for the most part no one else is going to beat you, because our line can't hold back the rush long enough for any one to get separation. Russ has to release the ball sooner than he wants, resulting in either an incompletion or an interception. And our run blocking is just deplorable. Rawls is getting most of those yards on his own.
One last note. The quick pass to the side line in hopes of getting the receiver free down the field; we need to put to rest.
It's not working.
Let me tell you. These last 5 games will be a fight to the finish. I'll always cheer our team on, but it's going to be a little rocky. Let's see how tough the Hawks really are. Adversity is now staring them in the face with 5 games to go.
