We lost at the OL and DL, big time.

I have to disagree with you big time here Z.
We lost the OL battle today, but our DL was solid. Yes, they should've tackled better, but they needed to get a rush for the most part and they did. Take away Graham's big run at the end and our run game wasn't too bad. At is alright enough to give us the win.
Being that this was the first game these 5 OL starters have played, I expected some rust but they were horrid.
Our play calling is terrible. Stretch run plays? Those won't work until you get them running up the middle first. That's like calling a play action pass when you haven't run the ball.

To be honest, I think the fact that we could not get any into any rhythm whatsoever on O made the play calling look worse than it was.
I think for the most part McCarthy was trying to do something/anything to get our O into some semblance of a rhythm, but it just didn't happen tonight.
The fact that this is the second week in a row is what troubles me. McCarthy's gotta put this one on himself and do something to get the O to start clicking.
