C+ for the QB: too many unproductive stretches.

C+ for the RBs, at worst: it's not their fault their OL sucks at run-blocking.

Agree with the grades for TEs & WRs.

I also agree with your take on the offensive Line, but I'll bump them up a half-point to C+ because while their run-blocking was a D, their pass-blocking was a B+ and I'll give them the vig for keeping their QB fairly unscathed.

Can't argue with any of the grades for the defense either: they were really only responsible for 15 of those points, and we all would've liked our chances to win if we knew we were going to hold the Fecals to that number.

Agree with ST also... Our offense was given great field position for practically the Entire game.

Even agree with the coaching grade, although I'm tempted to knock them down a half-point to B- because I didn't care much for the play-calling during their last couple of drives, especially their final series of downs.
