OUR D.

BoudinSandwich · 10-03-2005, 06:09 PM

Our defense played well. Only 7 points were scored. There was plenty of pressure on the quarterback, in fact, they took the starting quarterback out of the game hoping for some sort-of spark. Yes, they gave up some plays, but they didn't fully break. Much of the game was played on Buffalo's side of the 50 yard-line.

As far as our defense almost losing the Carolina game goes, you can fault our offense just as much for failing to put the game out of reach.

This game I give our Defense a B. Its not quite an A because after all, they played the Bills.
I give our Offense a C. 5 Field Goal attempts is horrible. We should have scored more touchdowns, especially since we recieved the ball around the 50 yard line a couple of times. One drive, we had first and goal from the 2 and were unable to make the touchdown. Thats bad.

If you wanna be optimistic, the defending champs have the same record as us!!! But we play the Packers next week. I always hate how struggling teams somehow put it all together against the Saints. If the Saints could play mistake free football like this week, they could put away games we're suppose to win and maybe upset some teams here and there. But I'm just stating the obvious.

Packers 0-5? Don't count on it. It always seems that momentum switches when teams play the Saints. In fact, I'm suprised Peyton didn't throw his record-breaking touchdown pass against the Saints' defense. The luck of the black and gold.

With that said, I hope the Saints pull this one off. Win one that you're supposed to! Lets do better than .500. Give me a reason to have faith.

I'm having a hard time expressing this, so bear with me. I don't understand how some people here can evaluate Brooks in a vacuum and give him a free pass no matter the circumstance, while at the same time put down the defense no matter the circumstance.

The defense plays well and it's got to be "because their offense sucked". AB plays badly and its "because our defense couldn't stop them".

This week is no different. Brooks plays a great game and we are expected to believe he is exonerated for his HORRIFIC performance in the last two games. The defense plays a good game and we are expected to believe they still suck. What makes Brooks's one-shot deal any more respectable that our defense's one-shot deal?

Answer: No difference.

In all likelihood they both are still not very good. I will say this though, I expect the defense to get better all year. I expect no such thing from Brooks. He's had five years and I see no real difference in his overall play.

Ok If we fumble the opening kickoff we will lose the game... it is as simple as that, thats my theory and as of week 4 im right so i mean as long as we dont fumble the opening kickoff we will be fine.

As for the Defence they did good Darren Howard crushed JP from the blind side that was awesome. Besides the opening drive we shut'em down. Sure there not the best offence ever but were not the best defence ever so to keep them to 7points is pretty good. Deuce is a 3rd 4th quarterback he said it hisself and he is right. Aaron Brooks wow he did great yeah i said it great without Joe Horn playing and Stallworth had a good game.
