I still don't think I've seen this team play a complete game. I was hoping today was the day we put it all together, but that obviously didn't happen. Instead, we get our first loss.
Right now, we live and die by Marcel Reed. He has his strengths, but the issues with his medium and long passing game is concerning, along with the difficulty of getting him to dial back in once he's rattled.
The defense still struggles with stopping the run / mobile quarterbacks. Our players had a few miscues, but we were just starting to get to Manning at the end of the first half. But we looked lost in the second half. Why we didn't stick with what was working, I don't know.
We need everyone healthy if we are to have a hope in the CFP. Moss is the stabilizing factor for Reed, and missing Scooby doesn't help our defense. I think we can win out from here, but we need our players healthy, to play complete games and just a touch of luck.
