Took me awhile to digest this, but with 12:44 left in 2nd Quarter, Mitch had 82 yards passing. For the remainder of the game, he only had another 92 yards passing. It wasn't that he became inaccurate. He was still 9-12. But why, when the mix of pass and run was so effective early, did the staff go away from the pass game as much as they did? Do they like 7 point wins for some perverse reason?
There was a slight drop off in time of possession, but not enough to explain that much difference. Less than 1/3 of their TOP had passed by this point. So, if they had stuck to their original approach, Mitch could have had 250 yards passing.
Just wondering. The other thing I noticed was that the O Line had a very good game with the exception of the 1st and goal situation where they didn't convert for the TD. The rest of the game was pretty impressive.
