I can rewatch it a hundred times and it is still obvious to me that Schaub hurt them more than the OL in the first half. Take away the two interceptions and its a different game. Not to mention he ate the ball about 5 seconds into a passing play for a sack when he was already out of the pocket. And he was off on numerous other passes. He looked like the start of the Dallas game, but this time he didn't get a chance to right the ship before it sank.
As for Sage... you guys must be kidding me. He is great at moving the offense, but decision making isn't a strong suit. He throws a ball up for grabs or tries to force one in every other series. He is like Brett Favre without the arm sometimes.
The bottom line is we had a bad early break and a turnover that put us in a big hole. This team is not built to play from behind. The run game gets eliminated and the play action with it. It's like watching Denver games. They would get blown out in playoff seasons once or twice just because they could not drop back and pass without a boot or a play action.
