We certainly received the ass kicking of my understanding in all facets of the game!!! We were noticeably out-coached both offensively & defensively!!! We surely made this game much more difficult than it should have been!!!

What would it be like to have the amount of time for our QB as Prescott received on practically every offensive play? For those clamoring for opportunities for Elam,-----(well, I think you received your wish)------& he was found wanting!!!!! If (?) you are incapable of exploding-off the LOS at the snap of the ball&if you are incapable of assuming&maintaining proper "pad level", you're not going to win many, (If Any), confrontations at the LOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you weigh 1,360 pounds and if you stand up (ERECT), at the snap of the ball, you are not going to get defensive line penetration more than 97 times out of 100, if then!

Why did we not have some timely&innovative blitzes called on behalf of our coaching staff ? Some argue that you can't blitz against a QB such as Prescott because he is just too dangerous! WELL, not having done so, certainly proved to be a much wiser strategy, - RIGHT?

One thing I am greatful for was Barker finally receiving some playing time. I believe this will prove to be very beneficial going forward! In saying this, I am in no way inferring that the game's outcome would have been any different. We simply had too many breakdowns in other areas other than QB Play!!!!!!
