Were there not possessions after the fumbles?
Our time of possession sucks. Why is that? It's because we can't get Colt McCoy and James Conner off the field. No Hopkins, Murray and Chase Edmonds and we can't get off the field. We had 23 mins of possession. We should have at least 30. Imagine if our O had another 7 mins to go to work. Imagine if we had the time the Cardinals had. The Cards had almost an entire quarter of possession more than us. Our D blowing is the biggest factor in us not scoring. Hard to score without the ball.
Both teams had 11 drives in the game, so it's not the defense's fault the offense didn't score.
We lost possession 23 mins to 37. You can downplay this as much as you want.
When you just look at drives you're counting the 1 play Kittle fumble as a "drive"
How is it the defense's fault that the offense gave the ball back after one play? The TOP has more of an impact on the defense than the offense.
The defenses fault is allowing Colt McCoy to complete 22-26. The defenses fault is allowing James Conner to go LaDainian Tomlinson on us. Anyone with eyes would say the D just failed on a colossal massive level. McCoy should have been going three and out all game. This team had no starting QB, RB, WR or TE. If the D did what they were supposed to do we would have had way more possession and scored way more points.
The fumbles hurt our possession as well good point. If our D is getting three and outs the fumbles don't sting as much. After the Aiyuk fumble we allowed a 14 play OVER 8 minute drive. Can't do that it's losing football.
