So its well documented that our tackles got destroyed. I think its been mentioned by a few already but I would love to hear someone smarter than me answer this. Why didn't we give those guys help? Multiple tight ends, chip blocks from the backs, roll outs there direction which usually work well when lineman over pursue etc.

Just seems like we could of made some adjustments and didn't. Before someone says "your limited in what plays you can run" Well we were already limited by the lack of slowing down their line. 55 yards other than the 80 yard bomb....how much more "limited" can you be?

This has confused me as well, because at some point when you see your OT's getting beat like that, you have to relinquish some of your receiving options to just help your QB stay up right or the play is not even going to matter.

I hope Pete gets asked this on the Brock/Danny show or at the presser. Would love to hear an answer for this...

"There were a million problems in protection again. They rushed like crazy and we did a ton of stuff to try and offset it, but nothing really helped us." - Pete

I missed the part where they tried a ton of stuff to help.

Maybe they did, but it sure didn't seem like it.

Max Protection=2 receiving options that can't get open.
4 receiving options=Not enough time to find a open receiver.
Whats the answer? Hopefully Percy Harvin

They actually did keep a back or tight end to help block on occasion. They got blown up as well. I remember one play where Miller stood and watched Long run right past him and sack Wilson without being touched.
