Games are won in the trenches

.....we know that right? Whether OL or DL dominates, they help dictate game.

MM and his buddy, must fix that OL before Monday. So they can run the ball.

That's so true, we got bullied yesterday and had our lunch money taken that can't happen again, or we will go hungry yet again for a playoff success.

..did you notice how at point of attack, Wash players were already in backfield or standing at LOS. It reminded me of bad VIKS lost last year.

This mix of offensive linemen is not working well together but it takes time to gel. 2 games is not enough. If they get Biadasz back I suspect they will be better but not as good as when they had Steel.

I really like line Jason Peters up as a TE in short yardage situations and running behind him and Tyler Smith. They should develop some plays to run play action off that.

But I wonder, even if Biadasz is back will he be 100% and ready to take on Vita Vea?

We got whipped plain and simple no amount of spin can change that. However I do see a few posts and threads trying to do just that. We got manhandled and if that doesn't change, we'll have an early playoff exit.

100. We are soft. Too easy to bully. Need better ol and dl play. I’m going 1 ol in draft and rest dl/dt/lb and cb.

..OL issues. Bias got hurt, Steele gone for year.

I have some faith in the offensive line getting better next week. Defensively, nada.

I thought we were sticking with "it's Zeke's fault." Getting confused. Make up your mind.

I've been saying it for the past 2 years, Oline Coach Joe Philbin is a problem. He needs to be replaced. His inability to improve these Olinemen or play them in the best spots continues to hurt this Offense.

The WRs coach needs to be replaced as well. Maybe even the QBs coach.

I understand they are buddies of Mike McCarthy, but if he refuses to replace them, Mike McCarthy needs to go as well.

....on defense, were getting back LVE and Hanky. Huge fix right there. Who knows what DQ is going to do with CB situation?

This is where I think Zeke gets blamed unfairly sometimes, because the OL struggles with run blocking and then we have to rely on Pollard making defenders miss when the OL can't run block. The OL isn't even giving Zeke a fair chance sometimes to get any runs going. Pollard sometimes can't even break 100 yards behind this OL or is getting low yards per carry because of the OL. Also Kellen Moore needs to come up with some other plays for the run game, if he sees the OL is struggling with traditional run blocking.

True, Hankins shall help with LVE. Just don't trust the line when Hankins is subbed out.

..I agree, I felt for the guy yesterday. He was running lateral most of game. What a mess.

His fate hasn't changed since last summer. All depends on how many more games they win.

I've defended Zeke many times on this board. And I know he has wear & tear, and is not the rookie contract Zeke.......but reading this.......I had a tear or two......Somebody is writing what I've been posting many times. Thanks Romo_To_Dez.

Bad move to shuffle 3 guys on the OL to replace one. Peter's should have been placed at LG and Tyler Smith kept at LT.
