We still have problems in the secondary. Playing too far off the ball by the CB's when defending our own goal. It seemd that Jacson and Quin had the most problem.
Schaub had a 103. something QB rating, but that doesn't tell the tale of bad redzone play.
Would it have been any better if Foster had been able to play?
You can bet Pgh will be looking at that video and licking their lips
I think we should be doing better with our adjustments in the 4th quarter.

Here's what concerns me about teams spreading us out and going 4 or 5 wide. Why have a LB on the field in those sets? Do you really think Cushing or DeMeco can stick with a RB or TE/WR on a designated passing play? Why not go with 4 DL, 4 CBs (Joseph, Jackson (I guess), Allen, and McCain/McMannis), and 3 safetys (Manning, Quinn, and Nolan)? Why put Cushing in a position where he has to guard a Sproles or Graham when you know the Saints are going to throw the ball?
