Esco's observation from the Q
my two cents, for what its worth........
On offense the bolts were sluggish for 2 1/2 qts. the game plan was too conservative.
Defensivley we were bullshit...no pass rush at all, hardly any blitz packages. The panthers had huge holes to run through all day. from my seats i could see the play develop and many times there was numerous holes in the line. The inside linebackers were not plugging holes at all, and missed numerous tackles.
the d line is hurting with big jamal nursing to bad wheels...i hate to say it but we may be in trouble there. the bolts didnt stop the run all preseason and so far its spilled over into week 1
the good news is that i guess as bad as i thought the defense was, they only gave up one touchdown
Rivers looked really good, throwing 3 td's
