The only good thing about the prevent defense is that it prevents you from winning the game, they gave up way to many garbage yards if it wasn't for Mike Smith being a complete dumb ***, the Falcons might of won this game

GW is not the man he once was. I do not if he is missing the tools he needs BUT the "D" he once had does not exist. He needs to change based on what he has available.

The Clown drive in the last 2 minutes was one of the more pathetic football moments I have ever seen. It reminded me of the Saints of old.

We were LUCKY to have won that game.

You know what else it reminded me of? Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys' "Prevent Defenses" of the late 70's and you know, they were pretty good.

Which is not to excuse anything. It IS pathetic to watch a defense gurgle up yards like that, but it's not new, either.

Roman Harper rated the best defender at +1.3,
Shanle rated the worst defender at -6.3.

With linebackers like ours, that ten yards behind where our linebackers are lined up is called... well... The MONEY zone.

I called both those plays for the offense when I saw the distance between our linebackers and our safeties/DB's.

It was entirely predictable. The exact thing we used to take advantage of, Brees to Meachem, but no longer can we see that for some reason.

Upsetting.
