Thoughts on the game and the need for some run stuffing LBs

The team needs to get better all around.  We were looking at it through our teal colored glasses.  It's not as good as 5 minutes away from the Super Bowl.  It has deficiencies that need to be fixed in the offseason.  Obviously, the offense needs to address every sub-unit.  RB is the least position of need. (I think Hyde makes a significant impact in the second half of the season.)  It's a matter of getting healthy.  We need to upgrade WR, TE, OL, and QB.  Defense needs to upgrade the run defense through adding LBs who can stop the run.

The team was built to win with defense and the running game.  And you can't win with defense if it's getting gashed by the run every game.  You want to be embarrassed?  Wait til we play Indy and they run the ball on us.  Indy.  So 12th best and 4.2 ypc aren't good enough.
