How do you fall for that one. Someone fell asleep on the sideline

Like I said at the start of the thread, Kubiak is either incredibly stupid or he surrounds himself with a horrible staff. I'm starting to think it's both.

Tough loss. It would have been oh so sweet to win this one, but atleast we saw the kind of team we expected to see today after they extended their
exhibition season by 2 games this year.
Great game for Schaub: 29/40, > 300 yrds, 3 TDs, no ints. My faith in him has been restored, now lets see him play that way with more consistancy.

[jppaul]

That was a heartbreaker man.

[popanot]

Offense - A : Nice gameplan and nice execution. Can't complain at all with the O today.

QB - A : Schaub was much better today. My only complaint would be he needs to check down to the RB once in awhile.

RB - B : Slaton is our best player right now. Chris Taylor needs to run harder and break a tackle once in awhile. Sad to say it, but he looks like a young Ron Dayne. Maybe not even that good.

WR - B : Not a bad effort from the WRs. Although, AJ need to make more plays and try to break a tackle or take on the DB/S once in awhile.

OL - A : I don't think they gave up a sack today and Schaub had time.

TE - A : Daniels was great today.

Defense - F : WTF... The D is a mess. Players out of position, bad play calling and obviously a badly coached unit judging by the tackling, etc. To give up that yardage 3-4 plays in a row to Garrard at the end was inexcusable.

DL - D : Everyone other than Mario, that is. The guy can't do it by himself! We're getting no penetration or containment at all. If you can't get to the QB, at least hold your position and don't let him scramble right up the middle.

LB - F : We're getting nothing from these guys as far as making plays (let alone BIG plays). And the tackling sucks!

DB - F : Reeves is awful and Bennett hasn't been much better. It's bad when Petey is your best DB. I'm ready to see what Molden or Wilson can do.

S - F : Were they even on the field today? How about knocking a WR out before or after the catch once in awhile? Let's give Barber some more time back there.

Special Teams - D : Kris Brown brings this grade up. Fake punt for a TD, no return game, coverage team never stopped them inside the 25 yard line, IIRC. Punting was nothing to write home about...

Coaching - D- : What can I say?? Kubiak and staff continue to be out-coached. And when DelRoido out-coaches you, it's pretty bad.

We scored 27 points and lost. I look for the defensive coordinator to get canned pretty soon.

This may happen. Probably not after this game, but if we put 25+ up next week and can't contain the other team, it could happen.

I have been saying it for a long time - I Hate Richard Smith and sorry excuse for a defense!

That would be nice. However, we still need a CB (maybe Molden), 2 LBs, 3 DL, and a couple of DBs on the back end. Then we could start running a defense like the Giants or Eagles.

Is that all we still need? just wonder if it is the coaching or the players, or I guess both ? Seems like everyone is giving defense and even special teams an "F" for today. I thought defense actually was better this week than previous two weeks. atleast a little better. but not adapting to game situations well.

I still hope due to all the youth we will get better as season goes along.

That was a terrible way to lose. I hate.. hate the NFL OT. Both teams should have a possession. The defense just sucks monkey wizz. How many times was Garrard going to tuck it away and run with it? 4th and 8 and that doughboy runs for 10 freakin yards. Ugggghhhhhh.

Next week that statue with a bad haircut is going to slice and dice us, and then scramble for first downs and I am going to watch blood leak from my ears.
