Ok, I'm switching from the dead-horse threads on JP, because if anyone thinks he's the total reason we lost, guess again. Even if JP threw for 2 TD's and we won, it would still mask the problem: the D.
Except for a pick and some decent ST play, the D gave up a ****load of yards on the ground. Vick is a great player and containing him is hard, granted, but how many missed tackles on 3rd down were there to let him get 27 yards rushing???
I don't know if this is a talent issue or if Jerry needs to REALLY get this D taking more chances. But it's obvious our ranking is overrated. I say Pat Williams departure has been the worst thing to happen to this D, (aside from TKO getting hurt), and the front office refused to address this.
Forget running the ball to get to the playoffs - we kind of do that consistantly now, but until we can stop the run, we aren't going anywhere. We haven't even played the Fins and R. Williams or the Pats and Coery Dillon, let alone C. Williams in Tampa killing us.
We can't even stop that stupid Burger King guy in the commercials.
;-p
