He was good yesterday despite some suspect play calling at times. I feel they won this game in spite of some poor play calling on offense at times. How many WR screens do they have to lose 5+ yards on before Dave realizes they don't block those plays well? Why are you throwing on 3rd and 2 near the goal line when you have the best running QB in the league? Teams have been all over the Stamps short passing game for a few seasons now and he really needs to throw in some more wrinkles and cut down on the horizontal play calls that haven't been productive for this team.
Defense with one of their best performances which is good to see although it would be nice to see them get to the QB a bit more as they have been getting the pressure but just not following through with tackling the QB. Still they got in Adams face enough to get him uncomfortable so good game plan by Monson.
Also it felt weird to see Paredes only attempt one FG the entire game as they have been relying on him so much this season but this is a good thing because it means they were finishing drives with major scores. Only real negative about this loss is the injuries that seem to be piling up. Normally I would blame the McMahon turf which is old and needs to be replaced but some of those injuries were just bad luck and I assume Brooks is probably gone for a long time with that arm injury.
