This was such a weird game, from start to finish, so it seems impossible now to properly dissect the decisions Reich made and categorize them into “good” and “bad” decisions. After the improbable win last week against the Cardinals, where Reich coached an absolute masterclass, I thought we were going to roll over our two remaining opponents. Now the Raiders are definitely not a bad football team by any means, it’s just that the Colts are better than them at almost everything.
It is very hard to criticize the offensive game-plan when the quarterback just fails to execute every single play.
