Re: The worst thing about today blowout
This. I don't understand the defensive plan used today. HOWEVER - at the end of the day, they only gave up 23 points to the Steelers offense. That's not exactly bad considered this offense usually scores 30 a game.
I think this game was lost on our offense, and its inability to make plays when you don't have a schematic advantage, as we usually do. Our scheme makes our players look better than they really are, and when they don't have that - they get exposed.
People laugh when posters say we need a big strong WR. It's for games like this, when the receivers have to run through a wall of Steelers to get open.
The defense has actually played extremely well in the red zone today. Excellent in the red zone.
The SCHEME outside of the red zone makes zero sense whatsoever. Some zany idea cooked up by Patricia with corners playing 10 yards off, both safeties deep every play, linebackers playing zone but leave the middle of the field wide open all the time.
