Don't forget that 1/2 the game without Steve Jackson.

Rookie QB in 3rd start as well

Clearly there is only one solution....


Bring back Sherm Lewis to call plays on defense!

Well, since Green Bay's defense has given up 75 points in their last three games, I can only assume we all have the Bears tonight?

i do...Cutler looking pretty damn fine

[GTripp0012]

I actually have the Bears too. Sorry for crapping all over the point I was trying to make, which is that defensive points against doesn't say much about a defense without looking at victory margins.

Bears were impressive on the road at Dallas last week. Especially the way they held on late. Green Bay consistency the last couple years reminds me alot of Dallas...great one week, god aweful the next.

Green Bay got off to a rough start last year while transitioning to the 3-4 and ended up alright by the end of the year. Gotta give things time.

I don't disagree, but what concerns me so much today is that they didn't play with any heart at all. I just felt like I witnessed a meltdown without any player shoing a sense of urgency to get things back on track. No one -- not even London Fletcher -- seemed to step up and put pressure on themselves or others to get things going (true on offense as well). How many times did we have the Rams at 3rd and long, and then they'd convert? How many 3 and outs did we have in the second half? The whole second half was just a mess. And our guys looked gassed.

On offense, we now know how important Trent Williams is to our fortunes -- Stephon Heyer was simply terrible. And our D didn't react well at all. I cannot be the only one to notice that when Bradford switched to a two-step drop and getting the ball our really fast (which he did for much of the second half), our DBs remained in soft coverage, and so they were getting 6-7 yards a pop.

It wasn't just Heyer though. Brown was awful. Did they do their homework on this guy? Cause it didn't look like New Orleans was trying very hard to re sign him.

I agree; there was blame to go around. One 3rd down conversion?! Heyer did have, if I counted correctly, 3 holding penalties which killed drives. It felt like more.

If this team can bounce back next week, it will show some character -- character that was entirely absent this week -- things could get back on track. Obviously, the offensive struggles leave the D on the field far too long. And yesterday, they looked exhausted. We're dead last in the league in just about every defensive category now, and that's a pretty dramatic fall off.

I was at the game, 10 rows up from the field. The Rams outplayed and outcoached the Redskins. From field level, it was very obvious how the Rams were attacking the Skins. Where were the adjustments? They sealed off the inside linebackers and ran right at the outside linebackers with success. Even when Steven Jackson went down, they kept doing the same thing and the Skins could not stop it. I don't know what the Rams third down conversion percentage was, but it had to be high. When Bradford did pass, it was quick three step drops, in front of the cornerbacks and safeties, nullifying the linebacker blitzes. Where were the adjustments? ... Oh, I said that before. Coaching is all about adjustments. I didn't see many.

That's about what I was thinking. The blitzing really backfired. In Haslett's defense he probably thought that Bradford couldn't make those reads quick enough, but he did.

[skinsfaninok]

D Hall basically said Bradford owned us, and he continues to make excuse after excuse.

[aceinthehouse]

If Haslet is smart,he will have L.Landry spy Vick the whole game...

Not only is he the fastest guy on defense,but he plays up in the box and used for blitzes...

You would THINK..that Haslet will use him to spy Vick the whole game and roll to whatever side Vick is on and play a Zone type of Spy...to prevent the Vick scrambles and long runs...

Which probably means he'll have Landry one-on-one with D.Jackson in man-to-man coverage..lol
