Run the damn ball?

This was the first time we actually needed him to step up and he failed spectacularly. I know the whole team sucked, but that is where true top QBs can shine. Hopefully he and the team can learn from this. However this has been who he has been his entire career (if you believe the media) and it does worries me.

Jones does not worry me as much as how it all fell apart. The line didn’t block well for either Jones or Taylor. Not sure if the plays called were the problem, or if it was whoever was calling the protection. Maybe Jones didn’t audible or did the wrong audible. The entire offense was out of sync. The muffed punt also hurt, as we were dominating them up to that point, and the momentum swung all the way, which seemed to panic the offense, which we have not seen them panic before. I hope it is just a small bump in the road and nothing more.
