It only took 8 quarters for him to warm up?

Huh. If only there was some time before the season where this could have been practiced in a live game situation.
Didn't hurt that the Giants defense was totally exhausted.

It won't matter. We can't do anything with any of it anyway. I just root for wins.
Yeah, I don't start rooting for losses until the season is a total loss.

And while I don't expect us to make the playoffs this season, it's barely week 2 and it's way too soon to start wanting us to lose.

I didn't see the first 3 quarters, but Dak was borderline great in the 4th/OT.

Again, it's regular season and against the Giants so take it FWIW
Still held the ball way too long and two or three plays that killed some drives including one in OT.

He's just never had a great pocket presence or internal clock.

I mean maybe 6 or 7. But yeah, sure would have been nice to develop that sooner. Maybe we beat the Eagles because we aren't totally reliant on Lamb.

I'd like to blame the pass rush but Jesus you just can't run coverages like that. It was a fucking joke. I'm still embarrassed. Wilson went from not even being able to complete 50% of his passes to just chucking in deep for scores every play. The run defense might be better this year but that pass defense was embarrassing. Is it that hard to stay deep if you're a safety? Is it that hard to stay deep if you're a corner playing 10 yards off the ball? Just annoying. And my guess is Diggs has no idea what he is doing because he missed all offseason. Not sure what Elams excuse is.

Yeah, our DBs looked lost but a lot of those coverages that were being called were just head-scratching.

Eberflus didn't adjust them until we got into the OT.

That's inexcusable.

You'd think at some point you'd go, clearly my guys don't know how to play quarters defense. Let's scrap it for today.
Right, exactly.

And if not for having one of the most incredible kickers in NFL history, we lose that game and we're pointing to the pass defense and the defensive playcalling as the primary culprit.

I just can't believe we had to go all the way into the OT period for him to finally make an adjustment.

And I know Wilson got the INT. But I'd honestly think about benching him. He just can't cover any ground deep. And frankly got run over by the rookie in run defense. Not sure what he is good at anymore. Looks washed to me.
