1.  I don't think Patterson gets out of jail quite yet.  Yes that pass was underthrown.  But the test of a receiver is:  contributing by making catches.  So not making that one isn't dispositive.  But having a good  excuse on any given play isn't either.  The more he plays, the statistical validity mounts.  We know a good QB (with a good OL )  is throwing to the receivers.  The good ones eventually have catches to their name.  JRP has few.  The criticism du jour is he doesn't adjust his routes once the ball is in the air and doesn't fight for the ball.  Pretty soon,  if he keeps playing,  there'd better be catches:  easy ones,  ones he had to fight the DB or,  catches he came back or altered course for.  Then we'll know.

2.  The magic escaping QB was of note, too.  That might be an artifact of our positions at the snap.  A lot of the time we had five or six rushers on the line when the play started.  Obviously bringing pressure but whether by our rush scheme or their blocking scheme the ends collapsed fast as rushers moved/were moved to the outside.  Nobody stayed home to keep them honest.  Guess that's what they mean by a risky DL scheme.  Also,  Tuel is a very mobile QB, which helped tremendously.  If I were an opposing Off. Coord. or OL coach I'd be dissecting those plays to see if they can be replicated.

3.  The Gaffney Wildcat just seems like a gimmick.  Hard to see it working much in the future.

4.  I agree we were trying to force the issue with wide receivers in the first half.  I guess the argument could be made that we were hoping to catch them in a defense overly sensitive to the TE's in the first half,  and then overly sensitive to the WRs in the second.  Also, they wouldn't have in-game reactions already used the TE offense.  Part II of that might be what happened.  Or, not.
