Me too, but only in the vein that we can win a bad division, just like we did last year.

If we had a modicum of improvement in the run game, on either side of the ball, we at least would have been more competitive.

Don't get me wrong, there's 15 games left and a ton of time. But I can't stick with my lofty expectation of 11-5 when we got run on like that.

It's over reaction week in 16 football cities. I've been out in San Diego the last several weeks and Mike McCoy literally should not walk out on the streets here. The fans want his flesh and blood.

We are already in Code Red in week two. Next week is an absolute must win.

Has Gruden answered why the fuck Matt Jones only had 7 carries?

I think he realizes that the strength of the offense is passing the ball. A few of those runs Jones literally had no chance. The interior of our line is pure shit on running plays. They were more than solid in pass pro. But 7 carries is ridiculous.Gotta do better than that.

Probably because the Steelers pass D was trash last year and they were much better vs the run, and we're built to pass right now. We should have carved them up. My question is why didn't that happen?

They sat back and said beat us running.. And we could not do it.

Seriously, I should have known that since I was thinking our new look passing game was going to just destroy their zero pass defense that the exact opposite was going to happen. Duh.

I blame Cousins for not being accurate early or often. Also the lack of run game. We could not ever really open up the passing game. Why should they have ever worried about the short pass, screen, or run? Dropping 8 all night. Just taunting us like little children. Dang.

My girlfriend is Malaysian and has been in Wildwood for 3 months or so first time in USA..... this was her first real American football viewing experience..... EVEN SHE WAS CALLING FOR BLITZES AND DOESN'T KNOW what they are ... "why cant they stop that #34??" She askes... "wow they just thrownit very fast every time" ..... FUCKIN FIRE Joe Barry. Norman NEVER should be away from Brown.... i didnt EVEN SEE CRAVENS... Fuller wasnt activated.... ZERO pass rush on critical downs AT ALL... i cant even believe the calls on both sides of the ball, of course thw refs were trash as fuck as usual but cmon with the false starts and fuck us for having our own stadium taken over by those bitch ass fuckin fans. Fuck a black and yellow bumble bee RAPElisburger lol - ok im breathing again.

Get your shit straight coaches. Get your head in the game players.

Fuck dallas. Another mobile qb who will run all over pur base defense and alfmo hungry to beat us will run all over us if we dont change SOMETHING. Good luck with the defensive coordinator folks, hes pure garbage.

That's a great story. I'd love to see her ask Joe Barry some post game questions.

Atleast she seems interested in the game, the salt in my wounds last night was getting home with like three minutes left in the game and my wife standing in front of the tv. I notice the game is on, which I thought was strange because she could care less. She goes, "just turned it on, ...wow...they suck - you're hating it", laughed, and walked away.
I was just standing there looking at her like, how could you be sooo cruel? Lol

I spent the whole game wondering why Joe Barry wasn't telling Norman to cover AB. Breeland is a very good YOUNG player... he lost his cool against maybe the best receiver in the league, that's understandable, he'll get through it.

That being said, I'm not that disappointed by our D. They did a pretty good job (...until the whole team seemed to have lost all hope.)

Nickel defense worked pretty good. I think that was a smart move: D-line is our weak spot, you put only 2 D line, then 4 LB (usually bringing pressure with either Smith and/or Kerrigan) and 5 DBs, smart move. Only mistake was to leave Breeland getting beaten by AB.

Also our run game wasn't so bad... only under used.

Apart from Kory, our O-line looked good, pass protec was outstanding. I really think we should try to find someone at center.

Had no problem with Norman staying on one side. The problem was the Skins left Breeland on an island on the best receiver in the NFL. That is just dumb.

Receivers and Oline looked like they did their job. Cousins seemed off and just did not execute some passes that he usually does. He had an off day. Only problem is those off days seem to happen against other elite QBs.

We ain't going nowhere unbalanced on offense and cousins throwing 35 times a game. Gruden and the o cord mcderp better get their shit together immediately
