I understand that they're not game-planning for these games like they do in the regular season.
I understand that they are playing vanilla schemes.

What I don't understand is why, year after year, these defensive players continue to launch themselves at the ball-carrier at full speed like they are ***** torpedoes instead of wrapping their guy up.  

If there is anything that gets my blood boiling more than anything else, it's poor tackling and over-pursuit.  And it was on full display last night.  I genuinely, emphatically do not understand how this team can be so bad at something so ***** basic year after year.  The coaches should be having aneurysms over this.  Instead, it's always the same listless response.  "We gotta do a better job."  No shit.  Maybe actually ***** do it this year.

They probably need to get it out of their system, which is why we don't see it often in the regular season.

It was horrendous display of shit in most aspects. Even the basic fundamentals were not present. It was embarrassing, humiliating and resembled talent you would see on a pee-wee football team. The only thing lacking was our players picking their noses and eating boogers. 

I understand what you mean, Mike, but in reality, it doesn't mean anything at this point.

If its week 3 and they're paying like this, then I believe a panic wouldn't be out of place.

But its PS; I'd be happy if the players skipped it all together (but they need the game action, I know).
