You were happy with last seasons defense weren't you? 24th in turn overs.

What is your focus? Yards, points, turnovers...

I do believe we forced a turnover yesterday.. no? The original statement was that we couldnt win in the playoffs with out a defense. Yes we can.

Not saying the 09 defense was better, just a turn-over machine and that helped us win.

2010 and 2013 defenses were far better than 09'.

If I had my choice for the defensive focus it would not relate to turnovers. Lock them down and make them earn every inch, turnovers will come.

If we signed Greer how long do you think it would be before he would he was put in a game?

Defense = sucked
Offense = Hopeful

We will be signing a CB this week.

Harper and Jenkins covered better

With or without a flux capacitor ?

If we score TDs instead of FGs, there is not even a discussion. And of course, Drew's bonehead INT. Defense obviously needs work. No way we compete with Seattle right now.

The Good: Call me crazy, but I was more impressed with our offense today than at any point last year. Think this years offense could be better than the 2011 squad. Cooks really adds something to our team.

The Bad: The defense was horrible, theres no easy way around that. It's just one game though. The defense started slow last year too before kicking it into gear. It'll come around, just give it time... when it does, we'll be hard to beat.

Even if we won this game I would be just as concerned. The loss doesn't matter to me, it's how we lost that has many of us concerned.

Wow, okay. I guess we're supposed to score a TD on every possession. Because that has happened, to any team, ever...

Why do we even carry a kicker on our roster?

News flash: We scored 34 points. On the road. The offense was NOT the problem, today. I'll give you the turnovers, but having to settle for a FG every now and then is just a fact of life.
