Russ and the OL look pretty bad today

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

Finally get a Stop and of course we go backwards. ugh

 

[AceKeptic]

There's something to be said about "playing down to their level."

It shouldn't be allowed.

 

[kcden]

How can you tell? They only had like 10 plays

They'd have more and some points if Russ had made better pre-snap reads

As good as Russ is he's one of the worst QBs on pre-snap adjustments when it comes to shifting blockers/protection. It's like he just ignores it all together.

 

[kcden]

And why not just unload it deep, there? PI is a possibility if you do that, at least. Or run it so you can pin them on the punt? Don't understand taking that sack.

WTF IS WILSON DOING!?

WTF IS WILSON DOING!?

My wife thinks Ciara and the baby kept him up late last night...

 

[WizardHawk]

Here comes 17-0 at the half.

 

[AceKeptic]

I hope Pete really hammers it into them at halftime...There is just no excuse for letting a 1-3 team do this to you, not unless you were winless.

Here comes 17-0 at the half.

And the Defense is NOT to blame.

Russ is playing like dogshit.

It sucks because our Defense is bailing us out

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

FIRE NORTON AT HALFTIME and I'll consider this a win. That piece of shit no talent DC FUCKHEAD has gotta go!

I wouldn't go that far...

 

[WizardHawk]

But this is Pete's plan. He'd have to yell at himself.

He needs to stand up and stop fearing the long play and go back to playing defense.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Ok, so in-the-grasp isn't a thing when the Hawks are on D.

Whoa, Collier with a sack! Someone's been taking notes!

Expect him to be benched by Norton for doing a good job.

Their not to blame.

Russ is playing like dogshit

 

[Judge Fudge]

I wouldn't go that far...

Their doing better than Russ

 

[Judge Fudge]

Of course people here are blaming the defense without pointing at the problem

 

[kcden]

Their doing better than Russ

Sure, but they're not doing well.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Defense is shit and Russ is a saint.....

Gimme a break

There are problems on BOTH sides that need to be addressed, basically put.

But what's to be done about either/or?
