This loss falls on the shoulders of the o-line!!!

Sound new to you?

And I honestly don't fault the O-Line in this situation either and I too am an Alex basher (or at least I was) and I don't fault him either.

I fault this 100% on the coaching staff. They made no adjustments whatsoever to improve because it was obvious that we were outmatched at the LOS.

How don't you blame the right side? They gave up pressure all night. Chilo again showed his pass blocking skills. Davis got punked all night by Suggs. What adjustments did you want to see? I mean there was no time to throw and no holes to run through. And when there was Gore would slip

This X 2

I do believe the team should have tried to do a few RB or TE screens to take advantage of all the pressure they were bringing. At least we know what we will be working on over the next week.

There was one main adjustment that needed to be done and that was getting Alex out of the pocket.

I was thinking the same thing but I realize Alex is slow on his release but he could have bought himself that extra 3 seconds to get outside the pocket and throw a short pass.

The solution is simple, insert Alex Boone or Kilgore at RT if Snyder goes down. Simply cut Rachal, his contract is up at the end of the year, and you CANNOT have a RG who can only run block and cannot pass block. Same sentiment, the O line gelled with Snyder and I guarantte you they would have crumble with Chil still at RG.
Give Kilgore and Boone snaps at RG in practice, they can do no worse than Rachal, maybe not cut Rachal, but make him the inactive player on sundays.

Can't believe that when Chilo was coming out of college that they said he had the skills to possibly play right tackle too. He can't even play right guard. He got beat all night and all the blitzes came through him.

To be honest, IMHO This is good...now our coaching staff has seen stuff that we cane use to learn from so,

THIS TYPE OF BUL-SH-T DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you mean put kilgore or boone at rg, you can totally see the difference on the entire oline when snyder is at rg especially davis. then when chila's garbage ass comes in everything goes to hell especially davis who suffers the most with chila next to him. we need to either find a starting rg in the draft and or draft depth, players who coaches feel comfortable putting in. i like our oline and feel like it can be 1 of the best in the league and has played really well up into last night but i'll be relived when that sorry ass bum rachel is not on this team anymore

Chilo Rachal is questionable for next weeks game with the Rams because of a stiff necck that occured in the Ravens game from watching the D-line run by him all night.

Was snyder hurt?

Hyper extended neck. Hope the injury is true. Don't want to see him on the field again. Hate'n

We gave up 9 sacks & 2 to....It coulda been a lot worse than 16-6

I'm going over the pass plays again... noting them, but for now... it looks to me that we are using more zone blocks, and fellas... it is NOT working out well. We seemed to have gotten away from the ZBS for a while... when we were blocking well... now we seem to be using it more... and our boys SUCK at it. Iupati, Staley, Goodwin, Rachal especially... Davis has done fine so far... (about 12 min. left 2nd quarter)
