    As I watched this purely lucky win for this team, I sit here in awe, and wonder why this defense can not make a tackle. They were attempting to tackle Marshawn around his shoulders. Why on earth would they not wrap up his legs and take him down.

    To me, this defense does not appear to be well conditioned or coached.

    One and done.

    So sad.

    Yeah...how many times did we have them short of a first down and they dragged us or we pushed them over the first down line?? Pathetic.

    We're just bad at getting off blocks- have been since Donnie Henderson left...

    When you can't get off blocks, you end up reaching and arm-tackling... Arm tackling doesn't work in the NFL....


    If anyone expects a guy like Gholston to learn proper technique and flourish, they're kidding themselves with the coaching staff he has...

    The only guy who put a real hit on Lynch was Eric Smith and that was at the very end of the game. You can't dance with a guy like that, you have to hit him low and put him down. I'm starting to wonder if Jenkins is playing hurt too.......

    Yes, I do. He's got a leg injury, correct?
