But we did score 4 tds on nice drives vs Atlanta. Other than the first drive (which was two long runs and a penalty) Weeden had something to do with the other scores.
Avoiding multiple turnovers that gives us no chance to win is definitely goal #1 with him out there.
He's accurate, but without him throwing deep or at least attempting it we see what happens
They stack the box and we can't run the ball, and if they know he's not throwing over ten yards then they can adjust coverage which they did and we saw what happened
He needs to let it fly every once in awhile to keep them honest
Just as importantly our damn WR's need to get open. And that starts on the line. Our WR core were letting themselves get jammed up on the line so if Weeden looks their way and sees them tied up at the line he's going to check down and move on to the next guy
So our problem is twofold
Our WR's first need to get the fuck open and Weeden needs to at least attempt to get it to them deep
And our D needs to step up on the other side of the ball. We shouldn't have gotten burnt in the secondary by Jones and we need to get to the QB. One sack and I think it was 3 total pressures just ain't gonna cut it when we are playing with a back up QB
