Not defending him. It was a horrible quarter for the entire team.

Yeah, agreed.  Not trying to shoot the messenger.  It's just so bad.  At least VJ looked like he realized it on the sidelines.  You gotta be able to trust your D to hold there, and at worst you don't see them giving up enough big plays that they wouldn't give up any points (almost a given with this wind).

On the plus side, we're clearly winning in most facets of the game except for the 1 big play, and pass protection.  We do need to get the ball to DT and Sanders more.   That's a mismatch we're not exploiting enough so far, just can't give Siemian enough time to get it to our best guys.  And we need to giving help to Watson vs. Mack & co.

The stats won't show it but I think this has been Siemian's worst game of the season so far. Fortunate with a couple throws early, has completely unraveled in the second quarter.

Their pass rushers are annihilating our line.

That completion to Fowler on the 3rd and 7 was a prayer.  By all rights most times that's a pick.

The bigger issue is the pass protection as you said though.  Garcia at LG is killing us, Bolles hasn't been great, but Garcia and Watson are just absolute turnstiles.

You can send help to Watson but when Irvin and Edwards are also winning their matchups you can't really scheme out of that. Edwards is KILLING us.

Yeah, the solution seems simple - Barbre.  Maybe he's no better...but he can't be any worse than Garcia.  Our coaches' attachment to him is just mind-boggling.

Irvin has beaten Bolles several times too, but Edwards coming in free inside gives even less time for Siemian to make any play than from the outside - Siemian can't step up with inside pressure like he could with an outside rush.  It's a killer.
