The last 2 weeks, we would have been beaten by any of the NFC teams that we'll see in the play-offs, esp Arizona, Philly, & Minn. Our Defense looks as bad or worse as last year. More like 2007 honestly. And it's NOT just do to injuries. There is no pass rush and everyone is missing tackles.

I have concerns we're going to give the Cowboys their first December win of the season at this rate. GW soft game plans may be due to his confidence in our current personal, but regardless, it's getting us killed.

Sure, maybe when I our corners get back things will be different, but putting all your faith in that is a lil short-sighted to me. Those guys have been out for a while, how effective will they be when they get back? Especially if they come back for week 17, then are off a week, then have to play at a play-off level. There needs to be a re-sharpening across the board on defense or we're going to be one and done in the play-offs, 16-0 or not.

WHO-DAT!

Well I do not think you can say that considering the Giants went up n down the field on Philly, and yes I think our O is better. The vikes got stomped by Cards, and we will see how they play tonight. The fact is we can not win with the D playing the way it is, I agree, but I do want to remind everyone that A- 3 guys are missing, and B. we were on the road. Playing on the road is hard, but I do agree with the fact that our defense has to play better. With Porter and Greer- I think our D will play much better, much better. Matter of fact remember the year Indy won the SB- their D came out of no where and played lights out. Not saying we will do the same, but I think you could see our D play like that in the playoffs if we are healthy.

You are right though Pyscho- our d will have to improve, but I think it does when we get Porter, Greer, and fuj back. Plus it might take those guys a game to get their sea legs back, but then once they do- they might be better off because they will be fresh.

Opinions?

That's my other concern. If their fist game back is a playoff game, or even the last game of the season then they sit, then they play...just doesn't lend well to them being sharp.

If we come out flat in the play-offs there's no, "We'll fix it for next week."
