If you paid attention to the D playcalling you'd have noticed that GW did bring a lot of pressure & it worked often. Look at mcnabb's completion % - was below 50%. I thought the D was on the verge of turning itself around, but they needed some help & didn't get it.
I'm confident the D is improving (albeit, they got burned a couple times), but not the O.

I agree somewhat, I didn't really see a ton of pressure later in the game, but I think they did a better job downfield, couple that with some really poor passes by McNabb.
I do agree with your assesment that the D is going to get better, Vincent is going to make a big difference down the road for whatever that is worth at this point.
As far as our defense being out on the field to long? WHAT ELSE IS NEW!
