Very Frustrated!

Damn, that makes it 3 in a row guys. I know that I probably sound like a broken record but we need to get back to the basics. We need a more balanced attack; defensive coordinators are finding ways to stop our somewhat predictable play calling. We ran the ball 17 times, passed 55 times. It just doesn’t make much sense to me. We need to get back to the run to setup the pass instead of passing to setup the pass. Team are simply rushing 3-4 and dropping back the rest, keeping our receivers in front of the defenders, thus making it extremely difficult to score once we’re in the red zone. Overall, I was happy with the play of our defense, Coleman had 2 sacks; we held Holmes under 100 yards rushing. If Rice didn’t fumble today, we may have had a different outcome!

For a patchwork defense I thought we played a pretty good game, I didn't expect us to shut down Holmes and we didn't,but we played with fire, something that was lacking the past few weeks. Take away the Rice fumble and add a missed FG and we could have had a shot at them.The offense racked up 420 yards and scored only one TD on a defense that ranks last in the nfl,not performing in the red zone is killing us, and the lack of a running game is a huge factor in all of this.The dink and dunk works fine until the field shortens and then we hit a brick wall, we need to pound the ball and take away the predictability of our short passing game.And one last observation.......JANO STILL SUCKS, this season reminds me of the season when we lost something like 8 games by a total of 15 points, then we got Jano to end all that, it worked for a while, but it's broken again.....Next up....9ers..Later Raiders..Rule

That was a very frustrating game to watch. I thought the defense played pretty well considering all the adversity they've been dealt. The offense just did not help them out AT ALL. I was stoked when they came out getting Brown involved because I thought that would open Rice and Porter to get big gains, but that did not happen. Also the playcalling has got to be more balanced not to mention the trouble they are having in the endzone. We've got some more tough games coming hopefully the Defense can get a couple of guys back and build on the positives from this defeat, and the offense can start putting points on the board.

I really would like us to use Garner more especially in the red zone. If you have a top back you need to use him more. Let them bet up the D's. Let him get to put it in the end zone. He is a play maker just as much as Brown and Rice. It would pressure D's. What has happened sense Seattle, and Pitt.

We need a more balanced attack, it's time to start running the ball more, we've become way to predictable!
