Dennis deserved every bit of criticism he was getting the 1st 6 games of the season.

Bookmark this page for late January where it matters most.

Agreed, the criticism was deserved and now he is earning the praise.

They are in a performance related environment, if you don't perform you are going to get questioned.

I wanted him gone early in the season, however he turned it around and now I feel better about him and our D. Opinions are allowed to change, surprising to some I know lol

The mistakes and penalties seem to be going down as the season has progressed. There's definitely been improvement. I'm happy with most of what he in doing. He seemed a little blitz happy vs Atlanta and making me a little nervous, but I can't argue with the results!

The lack of an off-season has quite a bit to do with that. Offensive numbers across the league were through the roof the first six or seven weeks of the season.

I'm not sure who it was but one of you even responded by saying hold the phone, give it some time. This defense is becoming more and more fun to watch...I love it!

Happy to eat crow and say I sure like how our defense looks now, despite my calling for DAs head on a platter!

I'm sure Jerry would gift wrap Nolan and send him back to us.

I wasn’t too worried about our D, they usually start slow. I had this formula worked out based on the shortened offseason and they started playing well exactly when I suspected they would. It’s become like clockwork the last few years, they just take time to all get on the same page.

Our pass protection seems to have gotten better over night. That doesn’t just happen, changes were made.

Dennis Allen owns the poor play the first half of the season and the penalties just as much as he owns the reduction in penalties and the drastic improvements that we have seen to his secondary game plan.

No need to eat crow.

Personally, I am waiting to see what happens against KC. KC should shed a light on how the defensive secondary will preform in the post season.
