I posted before I watched the game replay on NFL Network. You can talk about your O-line being overmeatched, but except for Thomas, your linebacker corps also blew. I didn't see Vrabel make a single big play. Seau was consistently trap blocked all night, and Bruschi looked old and slow. He was flattened once by Jacobs, and was slow getting to the hole play after play. Ankle tackles don't bring down guys like Jacobs and Bradshaw.

Fast closing pursuit and effective blitzing is critical when you play a 3-4 defense. You need immediate help at LB

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
