Blame them all. This was as close as I've ever seen to a true TEAM loss.

DEFENSE - did a great job until it really mattered, In the past few years they have given up a lot of lead changing drives with less than 2 minutes on the clock. 65% of cap hit and nearly all probowl level players should almost never allow this.

OFFENSE - Overall piss-poor execution and so many brain farts. RW: 24/45 297y 2td 2int 70.3rating. Play calling was also horrid. How many deep balls vs intermediate vs short? How many RB checkdowns or screens which seem to have a high rate of success the few times they have been called?

SPECIAL TEAMS - Walsh. Blocks in the back. Enough said.

COACHES - It appears the coaches thought this would be an easy game to just practice deep balls and running. Easy win guaranteed type of attitude. That same attitude seemed to filter down to the offense, especially.

Truly an embarrassing total team performance.

Yup, they can all take a big bite of the poop sandwich that this game was.

Lots of blame to go around. Starts with piss poor game planning, and piss poor play calling.
It snowballs downhill after that.
