Didn't see the game either, but I watched the highlights. As soon as I saw Reynolds get run down and the poor support from the team, especially Arthur's following which we didn't score from that set, you just knew it was going to be one of those games.
I like how all the white jerseys in the last frame are charging for the ball despite it being closer to the broncos who are just standing there waiting for someone to dive on it.
I think that period of games where we were mercilessly ridden into the ground by the refs has most certainly played a part in where we're at right now. We look so unsure and scared to do ANYTHING, like they don't know what they're allowed or not allowed to do. Same story in a tackle, in the ruck. I have zero doubt part of the confidence erosion is due to that period. Not blaming it for everything, but between the injuries and everything else, it's most certainly contributed.
This is the unforgivable part and why guys need to be dropped. Total lack of urgency or desire. Fix that and a lot of the rest fixes itself. Only a couple of these guys can hold their heads up in this respect, X, Karps, JRiki come to mind.
Paix, hands on hips. No one else even remotely looking to run. Sure, Hunt should have held the pass, but he should also expect someone to at least be looking to be interested in the game.
Why are none of them even paying attention. Did they not realize they had the ball or something. Preston Riki needs a permanent sack after just that one play, I'm being serious
Did Hunt do this on purpose?
Yeah, thats what stands out to me in those photos. Everyone is standing around waiting someone else to do the work. No one pushing up supporting hunt. The team has checked out
I was surprised Rogers didn't make it back on. He was decent and offers a bit.
Agree with this, he is the kind of guy when things are going well he looks really solid but he really struggles with impact when the team is struggling, not what we need.
