But that ****ing game plan was reeruned. No help for Remmers? Just gonna leave the tackles 1v1 all the damn time?
No real short game? Where were reverses, mis-directions, RPO's and screens? Anything to back that DL from pinning their ears back? Nothing.
It's not popular to say, but the coaching that SB was just as bad as the Oline.

My biggest issue with the SB was - and I hate to be this guy - that the officials put us in an early hole.
Conceding an early lead for that particular game was the number one thing we could not let happen. Despite our best efforts, there were 3-4 drive-extending calls in the first half that put our defense on its heels and allowed points to be scored.
From that point, the 2nd half was a wash because we became 1 dimensional, and they knew it, and we knew it, and there was nothing else we could do. Passing to catch up in that game was like trying to run a marathon with a torn hamstring.
Very strong passrush against terrible backup and mis-positioned players, compounded with elite coverage LB's and strong DB's flooding the secondary, and we were just ****ed.
Had we stalled a few of their drives, and kept the score closer, we could have had a chance. But it was insurmountable.
