We have a good team that will get much better very soon,

That was their house , they are the champs, we made a couple of mistakes and we paid the price for them.

Congrats NE fans, hope to see you again before this year is out.

1. Our guards are gonna mess around and get Collins creamed if their play doesn't get better. If walker continues to play tenatively like he did tonight, move him back to the tackle spot or demote him to backup. Stone didn't play well either. I dunno if his best days are behind him or what. The TEs cannot block worth a snot. I CAN'T BELIEVE FLEMEISTER LET VRABLE GO AND GET COLLINS LIKE THAT! HE OUGHT TO BE BENCHED FOR THAT ALONE! INEXCUSABLE! YOU NEVER DISENGAGE AND LET A MAN GO LIKE THAT. THAT TICKED ME OFF MORE THAN LOSING THIS GAME TONITE!!

2. We cannot play 3-4. Why does Ryan continually play this. Our LBs are not good enough and we don't have enough depth their more importantly. This is the one unit that we cannot afford anymore injuries to. Ryan is going to get a one way ticket out of Raiderland if he keep this up. His schemes don't jive with the players we have. Mismatches were going on more than I like tonight. What the hell is gibson doing paired up with a WR without an assist from a CB!? Why do our CBs give some much cushion? Jam those WRs up at the line!! Why does he continually drop LBs into coverage when that is the weakness of most of the LBs we have? Why are we still unable to get some pressure on the QB more often than not. Why isn't Ryan sending the LB on blitzes? What in the sand hill is it gonna take for this guy to quit puttin square pegs into round holes!!!?

3. STOP LOOKING FOR THE HOME RUN PLAY ALL THE TIME. BALL CONTROL!! IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH USING BALL CONTROL!! I KNOW WE GOT SOME BOSS WRs AND ALL BUT MY GOODNESS, WHERE IS THE BALL CONTROL IN THIS HIGH POWERED OFFENSE. Norv has got to get it together with the play calling. we had at least 2 wasted drives because of the crap play calling!
