Rex Grossman- Dude you make some good throws until it's time to actually score then u **** it all up over and over.

Defense - played ok but too many holes in the secondary and I thought that would b a strong point.

Kyle again- 3rd and 2 and u don't run ? Speechless

Why do people keep saying we had a chance at Dalton?? I've read that over and over. Dalton was taken with the 35th pick in the second round and we had the 41st pick. The plan clearly was never to package some sort of deal to move up -- they wanted to maximize their selections or trade down to get more. Yes, Dalton sure looks better than anything we have now -- but here's the key point: Dalton has some semblance of a supporting cast around him. Dalton would be running for his life with no running game and no one to throw to if he was here.

As far as Kyle's playcalling goes, I seem to remember several runs going for less than 2 yards. Apart from a couple of draw plays by Helu late in the game, it didn't look to me like they were capable of getting yardage on the ground when they needed it. But people just won't give up bashing the offensive coordinator for the line's inability to run block...
