Defense = Disappointment

You kind of ran out of steam around the time you claimed that we got away from running the ball. The rest of the time, you've just been playing catch-up.

Theory: they stuck you with Rams-Seahawks out there.

For help in assessing your wrongness you might want to watch the Zorn press-conference on redskins.com.

I don't live on a mountain, we have sports bars out here too.

Seems like a bigger waste of time.

What would I learn if I did check it out?

Praises the defense, admits the offense couldn't do shit up until the second half.

That's not good. The second half is when the offense reverted to past tendencies.

I guess someone has to stick up for the D tonight. I ain't doin it.

You don't have to stick up for them, just realize that they didn't lose this game and they didn't suck more than the offense.

How 'bout both the offense and defense lost the game, ok?

Well, okay, I guess you have an turnover-related argument as far as costing us a winnable game. But if you take out ALL of the offensive contributions, yards, points, turnovers, and just look at the defensive contributions, you have two big plays mixed in with a completely uncompetitive game.

In reality, we only lost by 6. If I had just gone through the defensive plays only, I would have assumed a 14-17 point loss. And isn't that the real measuring stick here?

Wait, what? You're confused. If you take away the offensive contributions from both teams we would still be left with the offense spotting them 6 pts. Don't know how you can attribute the offense giving up 6 pts to the defense.

I'll do it GD! As usual the offense stank. If Balche would only not give the WRs ten yards off the ball we'd shut those bastards down.

We're fine, they only had 250 yards for god sake. Plus, have you seen our CB play bump-and-run coverage? They'd get burned like charcoal.

defense will be fine. i think people are underestimating just how good these Giants receivers are. i agree that offense was much more of a problem than defense today.

In my mind the only TD we scored today was on a fake fg, the td at the end was a pitty td in the fact they ny was playing prevent d, and quit applying pressure on the offense. We had plenty of chances to come back, but like always the offense was anemic.

I agree that the NYG receivers are really underrated- only because their combined years experience is so low. Smith has been one of the best route runners I've seen since college- and he rarely ever drops a ball. Hixon is up and coming and Nicks seems to have been a steal in the draft.

But our secondary play was the pits yesterday... sloppy tackling, bad angles, nonsensical scheme (or maybe our guys are just playing to headhunt/make big plays).
