Let's hope that John proves us doubters wrong and becomes a bona fide starter.

Nothing good about a loss period.

Their offense owned our D in the first half. OWNED. Adjustments were made, play was better - whatever - in the second half.

It takes a full game on both sides of the ball. The offense sucked all game. The defense only sucked half a game.

Ponder....meh. Draft 2012 is where we'll find our QB of the future. Possibly RG3.

And on top of that, Billick's insistence on using the first person when referring to a decision one of the two teams had to make was very annoying.

I was so stumped on his analysis of the end of the game I couldn't even discern what was going on.

Hold someone to 20 points, you are doing well in today's NFL.

[Big C]

what an awful performance. truly awful, yet again after a bye week. the defense really stepped up in the 2nd half, credit to them. but our receivers played pretty poorly today, we had no running game, and grossman was awful.

[GusFrerotte]

I think there is still hope for us. Beck showed some good things out there today, and he didn't throw a damn INT. God I wanted to believe Grossman could turn into a decent starting QB, but he sucks worse than Ramsey. Shoot, I would take good ole Gus back instead of this dude. Yeah Gus threw INTs, but he knew how to get the ball in the endzone as well, and I don't remember him throwing 4 INTs in a game either.

Shanhan has no answers for this performance. Lots of, "Need to look at film" type of comments.

D took time to make adjustments to the off-tackle sprint run, but O put the D in very poor position all game.

D came up big holding Philly to 2 FGs in 2nd qtr. 6 points over 44 min. is pretty good with Vick making only 1 mistake on the batted INT.

Loser of the game Grossman.
Runner up, Trent....started the game with 2 key penalties then gets injured, causing a reshuffling of the line that was head scratching.

Why move Montgomery from Center instead of putting in another LG...oh yeah, we don't believe in carrying a 3rd guard on the squad...a lot of why we couldn't run had to do with the Oline injuries and our FO insisting that we dont need a backup guard. Our interior was suffering and it affected both Grossman and Beck. I was calling for Beck after the first quarter, not due to injury but due to needed extra mobility to deal with the line injury issues.

Bottom line, this team is still a 7-9 team...until we actual beat that mark, I will not believe. Some of you crazy bastards actually believed we could win the division after beating bad and injured teams, my oh my!

[TheSmurfs22]

I guess I was right along with many others. Rex would make it about 5 games then get pulled. Injuries are worrisome, looks like Cooley and Licht are done for the season. Trent has a high ankle sprain. We need a qb if we are going to make the next step.

[CultBrennan59]

we put in Beck too late. I said earlier we should put him in but people were saying what do we know..We know more than other people here do.


Cam Newtons gonna b tough next week.
