A lot of it is Wade's fault. The fact that Ruud is covering RBs lined up as receivers are on him. The fact that the defense wasn't prepared for the quick snap is on him. The fact that Harris is covering their #1 receiver is on him.

kubiak said they prepared for this, i guess its different when practicing against matt schaub vs real game against brady.. schaub isnt going to execute anything remotely close to the way brady and those receivers will.

This is ruuds best attribute, the ability to stay in coverage against rb's

i remember him making a game saving play against petigrew in detroit. hes a journeyman he really doesnt have too much business taking most of the snaps. but the texans were hurt at ILB, there was rudd and james, that was it..

The fact that Harris is covering their #1 receiver is on him.

i will have to see who harris lined up against, i would think welker but i know wade had jjo on welker some and even kareem. those guys are going to get open against man, everyone got picked on. we got no pressure on brady..

Except Mario was never that invisible. He would at least have a game where he crushed a TE or two. Barwin did absolutely zero.

We cant start Ruud in the AFC divisional game and expect to win. As much help as we need at WR I would not be surprised if we drafted Minter out of LSU and expect him to start right away. Either that or resign James for 1 more year to let him grow then put him out there the next year. Shiloh Keo is not worthy of starting, and Brandon Harris was EXTREMELY spotty this year. This was not the same D as the 2011 season, and after Cushing go injured the sloppiness continued, particularly vs. quality teams (PATS)

I would love to keep Rudd for depth. I think he did a decent job considering when we got him. Just cant be your starter.

But here's the thing - the rules are set up so that QBs like the ones you mentioned are going to get theirs. So even if the defense had been better, those QBs were going to get yards and TDs. So we need an offense that has a QB that can get TDs.

Get theirs, yes. To the tune of 27 tds-0 int's? That's not getting yours, that's getting it prison style.
