I still don't get all the Dennis Allen love. He was stacked with talent and failed.

I wouldn't really say DA failed, losing players like Kikaha, PJ Williams, Breaux, Ellerbe and Rankins would kill any defense.

However his 2nd half adjustments are incredibly good.

For the last 7 weeks now, how many teams scored TD's on us in the second half?

2....two teams out of seven - detroit and Denver.

After the RR era I think a lot of us had the bar set a little low for DA.

Stacked with talent?

close your eyes and dream what this season would ave been like with Rob in charge.

It would not be

24th in YPG
20th in pts/g

that is huge difference

rob would probably have us setting more records. all the wrong records.

Agreed!
I think DA has done a good job so far and I think the D will be be even better under him next year.

It's fairly obvious that there are several people on here that think we have more talent than we actually do. I think we are moving in the right direction. Injuries have been a nuisance, but I feel that if we stay healthy next year we make the playoffs quite easily. Young guys have improved quite a bit.

To say that people are just making excuses by pointing out our injuries problems to me is just a denial of the facts. We had some pretty serious injury problems. We get a few guys back on defense, then our offensive line gets torn to shred by injuries.
