Osweiler played injured in 2nd half ????

i Think he did, its like our lousy dbs suddenly can cover everyone and everything :-( must have played with a bad shoulder...

 

big difference was somehow we generated pressure. and they dropped a few as well

 

It wasn't his throwing arm..his receivers were scared of getting blown up..he was throwing them into the no no land

 

As did our dbs... Left a few picks out there as well, so it's a wash

 

I didn't watch the second half, but didn't Tomlin take the Tackling Torso out and replace him with Boykin? That might have had something to do with it.

 

At some point, the announcers asked that same question & they said that they didn't think he was injured. They pointed out that he didn't seem to hesitate.
Like Jim92 said, it wasn't his throwing arm.
We were getting more pressure & he didn't want to get hit- but I think that was all game. They took Blake out & the secondary played tighter coverage. We won because we came out of the locker room fired up as a team & all three phases played good.

 

He was still throwing it pretty good, his receivers drop some balls cuz they where going to get lid up!. But I think he was still good to go, got to give credit to the defense they played lights out on the second half..

 

Boykin had a solid game for sure. Pass breakup to end one drive for sure.

 

Osweiler has a wonky wind-up and questionable throwing mechanics in general. The difference was that in the first half the receivers had 10-yard cushions all around them - with tighter coverage in the 2nd half they were afraid of getting hit (except Sanders, he was taking the hits and still trying to make catches).

 

More than likely Vaginitis, happens sometimes.

 

Spence rocked him right in his shoulder on one of his first half scrambles. He wasn't the same after that. Non-throwing shoulder or not, it's all one system and when a piece ain't right it makes a difference.

Our guys stepped up in the second half, no doubt, but Osweiler was injured.

 

I believe it was part injury and partly the defense tightening up. They did not looks the same at all in the second half and Blake was riding the pine where he should be.
