What I didnt like:
1. Westbrook and the RBs do too much studder stepping. Either take it to the outside, or take it up the middle. Quit waiting for a hole to open up because 9/10 it wont.
2. The Defense got zero pressure on the QB. Delhome was hurried like 3 times all game. It was pathetic.
3. Special Teams coverage blew.
4. The defense was unable to hold up in the final minutes. If not for a miracle grab by Lito, it would have been another last second loss.

The defense played well tonight compared to the last few games. I would have to say that the run defense was much better too. The defense got pressure on him when it mattered the most, otherwise we wouldn't of gotten a couple of the INT Jake threw. I don't see how you think that Westbrook and Buckhalter can't wait for a hole 9/10 times. That is the point of a run play, for a hole to open up when you run. You want them to run into a freakin pile of linemen. They aren't straight downhill runners if you haven't noticed. You can't exactly run to the outside in this league much anymore since the defenses they seem to play are a lot more mobile now. They have to move around to wait for a hole to open up. If there isn't a hole either they gotta make something happen on their own.
I hope the bandwagon people don't start coming on the wagon now haha.
