"not generating much pass rush" - really? How about not generating ANY pass rush. Their QB just stood very casually until he decided to throw it. Our D line was supposed to be a strength - ALL BIG 12, etc. but they did absolutely nothing. I think they impacted 3-4 plays that I can remember the whole game Very, very few pressures. There was no different approach about the rush either. No real blitzes, no stunts, etc. I expected the D backs to struggle some but not the D line. The linebackers (again, supposed to be good) did not seem to be there, either. I cannot remember one of them ever hitting the back behind the line. No pushing backwards the whole game.
This is what lost the game. I was disappointed by all of it but shocked about the D line play.
