I disagree on the comments about Beck. No quarterback would be able to play well in the current situation.
Our running back was a guy we cut from the practice squad a week earlier and then resigned when Ricky Williams got hurt in last weeks game.
When the opposing defense doesn't have to respect the run at all, they can get in the QB's face alot quicker. Of course the secondary knows this also, so they're ready to take away the short passes and hot reads so the result is sacks that result in QB fumbles and interceptions.
Beck played a much better game against a much better defense two weeks ago, simply because Chatman was running the ball well so that set up the passing game for him.
There's no way you can "air it out" when even on max protection you don't have time to let those routes develop, and there's no way you can blame any of this on Beck.
