Blame?
1. D is going to be less effective when Offense doesn't stay on field long.
( especially when a team has older guys )
2. D is going to be less effective when key Players get injured(Jarvis Green)
3. D is going to look bad when WR's make fantastic catches with players
practically in their face.
4. D is going to look bad when a QB throws some extremely accurate passes and when he plays out of his cleats.
the run D was very good.
Blame?
I believe this game could have been won if the Offense had played better.
The Oline has weakness and they are just not good enough the handle a
highly motivated D with very good players
by themselves.
Cassel had very little time to find a WR. The pressure from SD's D was just
too much for him.
It forced him to make decisions a lot faster than he can. Then when being
hurried to make a pass his accuracy went out the window.
Blame?
well I don't know for sure but it seems the OC and BB and should have
done something to help Cassel.
Flooding the field with receivers didn't seem to help. maybe they should
have helped the Oline more and gone with fewer receivers.
I don't know.
Yes Brady would have done better because he reads faster and has a lot
more experience.
I am not putting a whole lot in this game as to predicting the future.
It seemed to me the stars were aligned for SD yesterday and I do not
believe it will always be that way.
THIS IS STILL A VERY GOOD TEAM. IMO
