It's really hard to get a read on this team. In the past two games the offense has done fairly well in the first half, and the defense has been gashed repeatedly.

In the second half, the defense has only given up 7 points in the past two games. Meanwhile the offense has just the one garbage time TD (rest of the points are field goals).

I'll take the wins, but it feels like they're balanced on a knife's edge. If they start playing complete games they can beat anyone and go all the way. If the offense and defense keep struggling in halfs though, it will catch up to them eventually.

I will look at it as a glass half full situation, they just need to start playing complete games and the sky is the limit.
I think we could have had a couple of TD's instead of FG's, but one time down there we decided to get cute with the play calling, and had to settle. Another time down Ty was trying to do too much and we had to settle again. I will say this - after we missed the 47 yarder, we made the next three in a row, including that high pressure last one. I wish we had scored TD's, but we did do a good job of controlling the second half.

KDB said we were not physical enough on the line in the first half...which boggles my mind..how do you let someone push you around when you could be the one doing the pushing...but second half, they were definitely firing at the snap
Helped to have a rested and ready Smith back in the second half I suspect...

OL is finishing and our DL is plucky.
