Oh shut up. A win is a win.

Injuries are part of the game, and we have been on the receiving end of an injury plagued roster many a time. Every gameday situation is different, and a win is a win. Yeah a shitload of offense was given up, but only 13 points. Like with women, the object of the game is scoring not yardage. I rather have an defense that gave up the lowest points and/or the best turnover ratio than the defense that gave up the fewest yards anyday.

Guys & Gals are really posting some good stuff today especially good one liners.

give up 500yrds of offense all you want if it only leads to 13 pts I'm fine with that!

[GusFrerotte]

Yeah, I know they are injury plagued, but everyone had these guys(Packers) as SB contenders yet again. Indy doesn't scare me so bad. It is the shit teams like Detroit that are a threat. Detroit isn't so bad this year, and they do have bona fide threats on O and a half decent D. Stat wise the Colts really didn't dominate the Chiefs that badly. Shoot Manning didn't have a TD pass. We need to cure our red zone blues though, and soon. You can't count on us winning all of the "ugly" games.

You guys can hate all you want and say who got hurt and all the coulda shoulda wouldas. All I know is this team is 3-2!

[12thMan]

I love how people are using the injury excuse. Last time I checked the roster has 53 players on it, not 11. Point being injuries are not an excuse at this level, it's a reality.

Oh, 3-0 in the conference looks pretty damn good from where I sit!

3-1, we fell to those pesky rams who looked really good today

3-1 we lost to St. Louis remember?

I think everybody realizes we have things to improve on, and we still aren't quite consistent, but this team made plays when it counted and refused to give up. You can't quite measure that, and no doubt this is a game we would've lost last season. We're obviously not there yet but we have seen flashes, and the fact that we made just enough plays to come back and win this game helps bigtime.

[NYCskinfan82]

I know this has been said before but I think it needs to be said again, I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.

HTTR.

[GusFrerotte]

Amen to that. We like to hit!

[skinsfan69]

A win is a win and this team is finding ways to win. The offense is terrible, no running game, the line stunk today, McNabb missed a ton of open guys..yet the defense stepped up and held down Green Bay. I think losing Finley killed them. Clay Matthews getting hurt REALLY helped.

Lions trounced the Rams.

We're alright, but we're not world beaters by any stretch.

[Ruhskins]

I will take the W, we are now 3-2 (3-1 in the NFC; 2-0 in the NFC East). Defense came through and shut me up. I wish the offense would play two halves instead of just one.
