Same type of calls as last week with a better result.
I like the conservative play calling with Kirk. The dude has a ton of upside but his psyche was fragile last year. I have a feeling that has a lot to do with the conservative game plan.
I also have a feeling the play calling will loosen up when the coaches gain more confidence in Kirk to forget mistakes.
He made a really poor decision today that should have been picked.
Jones helps Alf and Alf helps Jones and both help Kirk.
We were more physical than the Rams on both sides of the ball today.

I think there has to come a time when you have to look at how the OL is performing and move away from so much conservative. Im not saying dont run the ball, I like that, keep doing it. But when we run the ball like we have, and then we do some first down passing (which is necessary imo), it has to be play action, not some of these screens and other 2 or 3 yard passes.
Even with conservative play calling, Kirk had 2 ints last week and should have been another today but it was dropped. He is going to throw them, might as well try some throws downfield if the OL can keep the defense at bay. This was 2 of the top DL's in the league according to the pundits, and the OL dominated both of them.
