We can't be that bad

That was an ass-whippin - but we cannot be that bad. 12 sacks in 9 games - then 8 today.

Fluke.

And i have to say - Chicago has the best Defense in the league. By far. They will ride that shit to the playoffs.

Moose has gotta be loving that shit.

 

Talent's there. Ability's there, they've done it before. Gameplan's there, it's worked before.

I stumble over whether to consider it "want", "focus", "intensity", "confidence", whatever. We didn't feel like we could get it done, or maybe we thought it was wrapped up. Either way, we had a reason to come out and whip ass and immediately declined. I don't even feel like pretending that it's just a matter of these bitches being cold.

 

It wasn't even close to being 'cold'

 

Don't buy cold today either. They've played and won in colder HERE.

 

5-0 in 2003 - and then tennessee. Fluke.

Fluke.

 

cold, shmold

Panthers were tripping over their own dicks coming into this one. Bears took them to the woodshed today. at least the Bucs won.

this looked like the 1-7 Panthers from last year.

 

Weaknesses are their.

Not much of a running game. Not the first time. Today we stopper tring. 16 attempts, two were jake scrambles.

And again, their is Smith, and then everyone else. Foster was second with 3 catches for 20 yards.

Not the first time for that either.

Got to be addressed. We can. But it has to happen now.

 

Anyone have a site where they keep current stats on QB pressures? While we haven't given up a lot of sacks, I'd be willing to get that we've given up a shitload of pressures during the course of the season. This was obviously the worst by far that we've ever seen the offensive line, but there have been other times when they were struggling.

 

Dunno. Though they put up a stat on Pep and Ruck, 45 pressures combined this year coming in, just those two. Of course they are the key.

It had been turned up the last few weeks, Pep with all 5.5 sacks in the last 4, and Ruck with 3.5. Not this week.

 

Foster has been one of our better outlets.

We've struggled to get the ball to Proehl, and that's not new either. It's not as if Colbert or Gardner are devoid of talent, or taking on the best corner; it's certainly possible Jake's overlooking them, but each of them have done their best to fuck up some.

It's not been that often that we've had so many problems all at once, and the line's not been this bad. Not even v/s the Saints, who ate us up on the line last year in 2 games.
