It's not that we lost to a better team. It's how they lost. Didn't realize that they had a TE playing RT. They were real beat up on the o-line and Brady was barely touched. Plus they ran all over us. That tells me our players on defense are shit. Particularly on the front 7.

As far as offense goes...I'm beginning to believe that Gruden isn't capable of running an NFL offense. He can put plays together but that's it. He can't keep a defense off balance. Or change the tempo or exploit the other teams weakness.

For instance, we all knew they were going to shit in Riley. And sure enough they split him out wide he was beat by their 3rd string rb and should have been beat for another by Lewis. Why aren't we doing the same thing to their ILB's who are both slow run stoppers? Why wasn't Thompson doing the same thing as Boldin and Lewis? Instead they run Morris into the pile for 0 yards and watch Jones drop passes and fumble.
