Right.
The two most critical plays of the game, at least in terms of Herbert impacting the outcomes, were negatives for Herbert. The pick was inexcusable and the 3rd down play was excusable BECAUSE he's so young but also as demonstrative of anything as to why he needs more seasoning on the bench.
Those plays can't happen for a defense-first team w/ any sort of playoff aspirations. And with that defense, it's clear that Lynn thinks they can be a post-season squad.
