on the WHOLE... better this week than last week. To be clear, "on the whole" is an important caveat given 56 passing yards is not an improvement.
I am not getting ahead of myself, it's Indiana, I know... but, line looked better (albeit low bar), run game looked better, no turnovers (though all those flags are essentially a turnover or two wrt field position and momo killers), better route running (low bar), and better/more simplified play calling.
Negatives are obvious: JOK continues to look like a second string qb (allergic to his progressions, inaccurate, happy feet, clock mgmt) but he's not god awful and had a couple plays that were solid, penalties (can be fixed over time)
Still a LONG way to go obviously, but "on the whole," improvement over last week... that's all we can hope for from this team right now
