They were something like 8 for 10 on 3rd down, that is unheard of. GW would have never let that happen. It would have been a constant diet of
blitz packages to confuse the kid and force him to make quick reads and get rid of the ball. I would be ashamed if I was him. He is also going to piss off his corners with remarks like "I didn't want to leave anyone by them selves against him" (referring to Calvin Johnson). what kind of confidence booster is that! freaking amazing they would rather have a rookie QB sit back in the pocket and pick apart a once proud D, than leave
Calvin one on one against a corner.

Blache...if you pressure the quarterback, they, especially rookies, with crap Oline and not so good receivers, you may get a turnover, a sack, an incomplete on 3rd down. I can't believe this shit, I am still steaming this morning.

I agree...sort of. There should have been more blitzing. But he's in a tough position of coaching a defense where he has to try and keep the score down cause of an offense that has no ability to score points. My guess is that he ( and the rest of the defensive coaches) don't want to take chances because of this.
