Confirmed: Don't EVER have to send Mark Ingram between the tackles again until we get someone between the tackles who can open a hole for him to run through. Isn't it pathetic when a guy as explosive as Ingram fizzles trying to climb a wall of offensive and defensive linemen? One step around the end and he could be one-on-one with a linebacker or defensive end.

Confirmed: Meachem is an offensive tool to be utilized.

Confirmed: Casillas is going to be a really good defensive asset with some experience.

Confirmed: Giving 10 yards of cushion to receivers when the ball is on our 12 will cost a touchdown 89.9% of the time.

Confirmed: Taunting when behind leaves alot to be desired and only will take away from any respect you have earned with your fan base.j

Confirmed: A lefty-kicker cannot split the uprights unless he aims at or near the upright to the right.

Confirmed: Turning your back and scrambling backward... Well, even Drew can't pull that one off with sprinting defensive linemen in pursuit.

Confirmed: GW aint all that against a good offense.

I think Casallis had a good game. He surprised me, to tell you the truth.

I gotta mention Charleston also.

I think I severely underestimated how much we'd miss Will Smith.

There wasn't one defensive player I'd say played well last night, not one.

Not Vilma, not Jenkins, not Greer, not Harper, not Porter... No one.

Defense was pretty much awful - didn't look like any of them should be named to the ProBowl...

As bad as our defense played, it took 42 points for the Packers to win.

I don't see many teams on our schedule that can do that.

I would say the Colts, but not without Manning
