The argument could be made that Aaron wrecked himself. Skipping the bit where he missed wide open receivers, made poor decisions, and so forth, his cardinal sin was simply holding the ball way too long. He knew that for most of the game, especially with his best OL out (LT), he'd have to get rid of the ball pretty quickly. And yet he continuously held the ball far longer than necessary looking for deep shots to Adams. And that was his other issue: trying to force feed Adams. He missed a sure TD to Lazard early, trying to stuff it into Adams, and then tried to force another ball to Adams late, when he could've run for another TD. Or at least gotten inside the 5-yard line, which would've given them 4th-and-2 or so, and maybe LaFleur goes for it at that point.
Andy and Patrick will scheme and execute a gameplan that gets the ball out of Patrick's hands quickly. And they have two weeks to figure out how to get the ball downfield.
