Batch has history of winning games and Jordan Campbell actually was pretty solid especially for The Raiders

Jason Campbell was 1-7 that year. I don't know how good Jordan Campbell was, and Batch was on crutches that game.

If Pees goes in there with that soft zone Manning is going to look young again.

Something to this...but I would think that any NFL coaching staff would be looking at that game and breaking it down.

It's Pees defense. Harbaugh is the one that gets in his ear when you see those games that Pees actually schematically tries to apply more pressure to the QB. Once Harbaugh sees he's not good at it though. He leaves it alone. In all honesty, the fluctuation with the offensive coaching staff is the main reason why Pees is still here. I get the sense that Harbaugh was leery of having too much turnover with his coaching staff at one time. Just think back to when Mattison was (Essentially asked to find another job so they wouldn't have to fire him). Cameron was still in place.

Sure, they can look at it, but they are still human. Some people still think they have to be the smartest guy in the room or have all of the answers.

Like trying to have a bend but don't break defense and a ball control offense at the same time.
