I think you're missing my point. People are way too quick to give Horton a pass I think. He wasn't the main reason for the loss, but he factors in there somewhere. If it was Moore responsible for that play then I take back my criticism on Horton.

I don't think people are giving him a pass for anything. I heard on the radio that it was Moore who was supposed to blitz but didn't, and by all accounts and play design would have had a free shot on bulger, or at least rushed his throw and made him check down.

Horton has earned a few accolades. His play has been nothing short of outstanding in run support, and it looks like that's the role the D wants him to play. I know the coaches don't want him to quit progressing, but for a seventh round pick to even make our roster is something new... much less to start as a rookie and be among the league leaders in turnovers, and be third on the team in tackles, even though he didn't start or play much in the first couple of games.

Kareem Moore was the rookie who was supposed to blitz and didn't. But Torrence should have defended the pass better.

Also, I agree that Rogers has been an excellent cornerback this year, much better than I expected.

But...the offensive line did not dominate except in the running game. When Campbell dropped back to pass, most of the time he was under a lot of pressure.

Yeah, the good...

#22 is finally coming into his own. A real shutdown DB.
No INTs after 6 games
Horton is proving to be a steal
JZ can call a game after all

The bad...

We fell asleep on the Rams. It was clear that we came in with to much confidence and got punched in the throat. That's not what Championship teams do. Thats what 10-6 Wildcard teams do. We need to beat the teams we are expected to beat.

We are getting into the habit of dropping way to many passes. WTF? Come on Santana.

Our Special Teams (Punt kick and return) sucks. Nuf said.

and don't forget that the defense is dropping almost every int that comes right to them and hits them in the numbers.

Since we are bashing our team, I gotta bring up JC's Fumble...not his fault on the bad snap, BUT you have to fall on the ball in that case!

I thought this was on the bright side. I just heard on tv the Cowgirls are S...t...r...u...g...g...l...i...n...g. That's like music to my ears. The Cowgirls are S...t...r...u...g...g...l...i...n...g.

I have to add Marcus Washington to the "Bright Side" list. After a few weeks of sub-par performances and people doubting if Marcus could still be effective as a starter Marcus came out and had a very good game proving to me that when he's healthy he is still a quality starter.

Ditto. Good call.
