Why Did They Change the Defense???

OK, I just don't understand. Just got finished watching the Niners-Patriots game. We started off on fire! And then they changed the defense. Why? It's only the 1st quarter! Yeah you got beat by Randy once. So what do you do? Give him more space? You can't give Randy Moss a 10-yard cushion! What happened to the pass rush? We finally saw it again in the second half, but by then we were playing catch up. It's almost like they gave up that first touch down and then got scared to do anything else. You still have a whole game to play! Now there's no excuse for JT's interceptions. However, you really do increase the risk of interceptions when you're forced to constantly pass the ball because you're behind and rushed. Now one thing was very clear to me - someone definitely told JT not to run last week because he sure was running all over the field today. If he hadn't, the offense would have done even worse. But here's my concern - 3rd down conversions. We're starting to slip back into that pattern again so I hope something changes. Well, all I can say is that we need the practice. Like I said in my last post, we need to continue to play teams like this in order to raise our standard of play. Not that I was really expecting the Niners to beat the Patriots, especially off a bye week, but I did expect them to play better than this. Now I have no idea how the rest of the season is going to play out, but the Eagles are coming to town next Sunday and we HAVE to get our act together and win that game.
