Also I still can't believe the refs didn't call PI against the bengals on that bomb to Hankerson. Or that they called a phantom facemask against D Hall. Probably wouldn't have changed the outcome, but the officiating was disappointing again.
And also easy to say in hindsight, but I would have gone for it on 4th and inches. Our interior o-line was getting good pushes, and Morris has shown an ability to convert in those situations.
Don't like the punishment RG3 was taking. Less college ball please. There are other ways of getting the opposing pass rushers to back off (screens? HB draws?)
They are going to get worked and the secondary will be priority #1 in the offseason. Everyone in the secondary that is up for contract renewal should be let loose or brought back at a lower pay rate. At least 3 of our draftees should be def backfield guys from the SEC. I am assuming 6-10 to 8-8 will garner a top 9-14 pick, so we should get a gamer for sure.
You do remember what we gave up for RG3 right?

BUt it works in Madden.
I dont play madden. I do play the odds. Odds are BETTER that our offense was going to get two feet than that our defense was going to stop them. I dont think that is so crazy. At all.
I'd like to see the option stuff start to get phased out. Griffin is taking too many shots.

As far as our defense goes, I'm not sure what we'd rather have. Haslett's defense has been down, up, and now down so far in the 3 seasons he's been our d-coordinator. Gregg Williams/Blache's defense were consistently good for the most part, but we never forced turnovers. Now that we've had both, what do people prefer?
Is it better to have a shitty defense capable of forcing turnovers, or a solid/good defense that doesn't force any turnovers? I'm leaning toward the latter right now. Look at what the Rams did today against a good Bears defense, versus what they did against us last week. If we a solid defense that didn't force a lot of turnovers, I think games would be closer than they have this season. Obviously against the Saints that worked in our favor, but these last two games our defense has been manhandled all game.
... Can't I have both? :(

Was pleased with run defense today.
NOT pleased with yet another key injury. TW doesn't play defense, but that most certainly contributed to us not scoring more. Black got OWNED.

I think the fans and the media got a litte ahead of themselves after the Saints win. This team still has a ways to go.
