Kudos to Jim Haslett and Raheem Morris

I'm not sure what adjustment can be made when defensive players who should be winning their match-ups don't do so.

Going from a zone and giving up a huge cushion for the Wes Welker clone and not switching up and playing more man and bumping the guy at the line. They let him go and he burnt the defense. Regardless of the refs and the bonehead move of Josh Morgan, ultimately, the defense has to keep the other team off the scoreboard. That's what lost the game of us.

I agree with the idea that we should have been more physical with Amendola at the line.

That said, whether playing man or zone, we still would have gotten burnt with our front 7 exerting so little pressure against a lame-ass Rams line.

yup - the announcers, and all of us and the whole world were thinking that. Finally in the second half we saw some man but the damage was done. - just horrible mind numbing game plan and lack of adjustments by Haslett - is he just too stubborn to have done something sooner - ?

Actually when we switched to man we still got toasted.

The problem was up front.

Yeah well Orakpo was out of the game too than - but the rams damn line was brimming with confidence at that point. That switch needed to be made after Amendolas 37th catch which if I remember correctly was made at approximately 2 minutes and 37 seconds into the first quarter. I may be off by a couple of seconds.

They did slow down Amendola...lol That's about all they did. However, they still had zero pressure up front and you can't expect man coverage to hold but so long.
