Ok.
That means Carr played well and our D played like shit. The exact opposite of the point you were making...

You can rewatch the game if you want. Carr last game basically stepped back and chucked up 50/50 balls all game long. Didn't even read our defense. It's not like he was making great throws or making great reads. He threw up prayer balls and our secondary stumbled all over themselves. It's the same formula Philly used against us in an otherwise solid defensive performance. Rest of the season after Pittsburgh? Different story. We got torched in different ways.
Today, our defense kept the passing game in front of us. I didn't see what our big adjustment was but that was the big X factor. We took away the big play on defense. And those big plays for the most part were not in Peters' direction last game. Unless you're going to blame Peters for Mitchell not defending a jump ball. I don't think our D with or without Peters is in very good shape. This was a good D performance today but we've usually been pretty good against Carr. So no, I don't know how Peters was an X factor given that he was not a big reason why we lost to Oakland the first time.
