Love you Grizz. So tired of the "blame the team" for the loss. Of course the team is to blame for every loss. That goes without saying. WHo's the real **** up of the game.

I have three thoughts.
1. Cutler was terrible in the 2nd half. He went something like 9/21 with an int and a fumble.
2. Charles Leno gave up two sacks AND constantly allowed pressure to penetrate his edge.
3. Howard, after a great first half (I think he went 12 / 72 yards in the 1st half). Then, we turned around in the 2nd half after the Giants made adjustments and ran for 5 carries for 5 yards. He also dropped 3 consecutive passes (that should have been catches).

Because I can only pick 1, I'm gonna loop this loss right around Cutler's throat.

If the food sucks, blame the man who bought the ingredients and the man who made it. Pace and Fox

Well to be fair, they are still using some of the leftovers from the last manager and chef; it's like watching an episode of Chopped.

The right side of the OL was worse than Leno's side - by far. Adams was getting blown right back into Cutler like a rag doll. But yes, Leno sucked almost as much. There was no OL in the 2nd half. Pretty tough to watch.

I don't necessarily disagree BUT I expect more from a starter than I do from a backup. Leno reportedly turned the corner this year. The only corners getting turned are those by DEs who are bending around and pushing through Leno's corner.

I honestly don't know what you could do on offense the second half with people dropping key passes that broke our back -and- no offensive line the second half. I don't know what they are going to do. We were a screwed goose even before Sitton went down. I thought Massie was bad, but Adams makes me miss Massie (how bad is that?).

I can't much tell the difference between the two.

Nothing new to see here. This game was a perfect microcosm of what's gone wrong all year:

INJURIES!!!!

Defense overall played pretty well. Kept the team in a game they should have been blown out of when the O sputtered drive after drive.

But....the secondary can't seem to make INTs and lacks playmakers. Amos in particular sucked bad today and has now played in 26 games without a single pick which is a terrible record.

The O plain sucks and hasn't scored more than 2 TDs in any game all year.

Cutler (whom I am NOT blaming for the loss as he had garbage all around him) had a classic Jay-like stat line: 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble

Out-coached at halftime AGAIN and again totally outplayed in the 2nd half.

Nothing new

(It would help if Howard could catch the ball. Can't be a bell cow back if you can't recieve out of the backfield. He had 3 terrible drops. Hit the jugs machine please.)
