I am hoping that this was only due to being the first game and jitters and all of that, and not a trend.  

Exactly.  It is just like the Breshnahan crap units of old:  Don't give up any big play...but get nickel and dimed to death and you don't contest a single check-down.  This shit has to stop.  They need to challenge a team that goes max protect and attack them with extra defenders and be up on the LOS to lock down their weapons.  We will see nothing but this if we don't get more aggressive.

Very disappointed in Austin.  Yes, it is only one week, but against THAT line they had a chance to get an identity.  Nothing.
