I thought we defended Warner and Brees pretty darn well three months ago. Our offense also averaged 26.5 points between those games, and at the time, was clearly helping to contribute to our team success.

Thanks though, I needed a good chuckle. Carry on.

Every single expert that has followed the Redskins has basically said that the defense has done it's job. That Blache and his coaches are doing a nice job considering what they have to work with. These are people that played in the NFL and know more about football than you do. Yet you seem to try and over analyze everything...from some quote Blache said to talking about schemes that you probably know nothing about. Amazing.

I doubt most of the experts you cite has put as much work into figuring out the problem with the team that I have, but that's besides the point. It's sad that you have to take a low blow to discredit me, because you have no idea if I'm wrong, but because you want me to be wrong. Totally classless.

You can cover your eyes and stick your head in the ground if you want to, but his "nice job" probably was responsible for costing the team the playoffs, if you had to put it on any one thing.

Obviously, it's not just one thing. Our roster isn't as deep as it needs to be. Zorn's still feeling his way around at the expensive of offensive efficiency. The offensive line is old, and has really failed to get Portis going in the second half of the year. But we faced two teams in our division at home and definately not playing their best football, and the defense allowed 5.85, and 5.55 yards per play....PER PLAY...to Dallas and New York respectively.

With those offenses basically handicapped at the time we played them, those results are totally unacceptable. We knew going in that to have a chance in those games, we would have to have the advantage on defense. We got outplayed on defense in two must wins and that's not okay with me (three if you could Pittsburgh in the second half).

I'm not trying to offend you. Sorry if you took it that way. We'll just agree to disagree.

Ouch, a little harsh considering he watches the games and breaks them down play by play for us. Gtripp knows his stuff, disagree or not there's no reason to cut him down like that.
