Tretter got overpowered a lot in this game. He's not nearly as strong as Linsley and he will always struggle with power players, which is the majority of the defensive tackles he's likely to face. He does seem to move well, though.

The Cobb dropped passes has be baffled. Does he need glasses or something? He usually is dependable.

If our D plays like it did Sunday, we have a chance to go deep into the playoffs.
If they revert to the prvious 3 games, then we are dead in the water.

Also true.
But our D held Adrian Peterson to 45 yards. That was pretty outstanding, and I didn't expect that. I thought he'd run all over our guys.
He ran over defenses all this year, and our guys stopped him in his tracks and didn't let their QB beat us.

Clay Mathews is great, Ha Ha is having a good season, Shields is a good cover corner, and Randall is becoming a decent starter already. That's a talented defense. Probably not top of the league, but there's no reason they shouldn't end the season in the top 10-15 scoring defenses, if not better. There's no excuse for giving up 500+ yards in a game. That's mostly on the coaches, imo. There are enough "good" players available to Dom Capers to consistently field a "good" defense.

Having four offensive drives that didn't even eat up 90 seconds didn't help the Packers defense against the Chargers. Add a 3 and out that took 2 minutes and 10 seconds and yeah, your defense is going to get roasted.

5 Punts and a safety really helps the Broncos.

The 9 punts didn't help at all against the Lions either and the could have still won the game if Mason Crosby bangs it through.

When the offense moves the chains and eats some clock, the defense doesn't look like Swiss cheese.

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.
