We're 3-0 Thread

the positives:

1. We're winning without playing our best ball
2. We're beating the teams that we should be beating
3. Minimum of penalties - only 2 for 10 yards, if I'm not mistaken
4. If we win 1 of the next 2, we're in decent shape as far as making a run for the post-season.
5. Some bogus refree calls are actually beginning to go our way now. If you throw it deep, the calls will come.
6. Santana Moss is a character guy - mighty impressive post-game interview.
7. Brunell is getting a lot more in sync with his receivers - I think 8 different receivers caught a pass today.

the negatives:

1. Average play-calling on offense - predictable running plays, and ineffective wide receiver screens. They should've done better on the last drive and come away with a FG instead of having to punt to Seattle.

2. The Defense is certainly not as good as last year. They're certainly a good D if you consider that they held the high-octane offense of the Shehawks to less than 20 despite the loss of Smoot, Pierce, Arrington, Noble and Harris. However, they aren't getting any pressure on the passer without blitzing, and aren't creating many turnovers or generating as many sacks as last year's unit. Wynn and Daniels are highly average DEs. Hasselback had all day to throw.

3. Someone other than Betts needs to return kicks - the guy is slow, and its funny watching him labor up the field on a kick-off.

I think this defense is consistent with last years defense. No team has rushed for 100yds against our team in 8 games. So we are stopping the run. Let's hope Walt Harris gets back as soon as possible. The rookie had a rough time out there and they tried to pick on him in the redzone. Overall, Rodgers did a decent good. He's got to get a little more aggressive at the line.

The reason Hasselbeck had so much time is because we were trying to intercept his pass, but on several occassions he was successful in his completions. I think Williams knows it is hard to create sacks as much when he wants the turnover ratio to increase.
