Been re-watching bits of this all day.  Mainly the offensive possessions.  Some comments...

- You can see why Etta-Tawo got that rep for bad hands.  Hard to complain about a guy with 270 yards receiving but those two drops early on were ugly.

- If Dungey had a dead arm last week, it wasn't apparent this game.  This looked to me to be his best game throwing the ball all year, in terms of accuracy, velocity, and touch.  Maybe all the more impressive given the in-game talk about the swirling winds (which the sideline reporter didn't really show much evidence of, admittedly).  Only two really bad throws from my perspective, one on that 2nd Q post route to Etta Tawo and the rb screen in the 3rd.

- My big criticism for #2 in this game was that he gave up on the pocket too soon on a number of plays.  I understand the caution given what happened last year but that extra second or two can make a huge difference.  That last big gainer by Etta Tawo and the 99-yard drive altogether happened because Dungey stayed in the pocket and took the hit after he delivered the ball.

- Even during the offensive drought in the middle of the game, you could see guys running open and holes for the backs.  Just a little more efficiency and the score is 45-24.
