Examples?

1st half last night. I believe it was a 3rd and about 8. Tramon comes up and grabs the receiver for about a 3 yards gain. Only he doesn't tackle, just kind of twirls him backwards. Receiver doesn't fall down and instead heads back downfield picking up the 1st down. Giants proceed to score on the drive.

I am at work and can't review the game, but I am 90% sure of that play, the timing and the result. 3rd down and a chance to get off the field. Instead, a wussy attempt to throw someone down instead of wrapping and driving them down. Hell, don't drive, just fall down with them!

As the #1 CB, I think they give him less help... so when he makes a mistake the offense player is able to do more with it. I think it would be the same with any other DB... if left one on one and they make a mistake it's gonna go a bit further than a play with two DBs covering.

Question is could another CB do better one on one? ... I don't know the answer... but I can say I think House and Shields were making more mistakes against non #1 WRs, than Williams has against #1 WRs (not counting Calvin Johnson where he's just a beast). I don't remember Hayward making many mistakes though I'm sure he's had some as all players do.

This thread, along with the majority of the posts that I have read the last 24 hours, have given me the most face palming of my young life.

That one play where he had, I think it was Nicks, in the backfield.. that made me crunge But it's not only on him NO one tackled last night. It was a pitiful performance. They can play a whole lot better than this. I'm not gonna blame this on the injured players either.. We didn't play tough or energized at all. All I have to say is.... we're not done. Teams are in a lot worse shape than us. We just went on a 5 game winning streak for gods sake. Theres better teams this year more so than last year. This playoff race is gonna be a tight one. This division will come down to week 15 at the bears. If we go 12-4 we'll win the division, If we go 11-5 we will get a wildcard. I'm afraid 10-6 won't cut it this year. I just have a feeling. Anything can happen.

First, the lack of defensive help when Tramon dragged (randle?) Back 5 yards was deplorable. Say what you will about his tackling skills on that play but to have no Packer w/in 5 yards after the 2-3 seconds Williams held him up shows how embarrassingly apathetic this team was last night.

Secondly, GCB, who cares if this team can win the division? Vs. The 49ers and now twice in 10 months vs. The Giants the Packers have shown they have zero answer for an athletic front 4 and corners willing to press at the line. Furthermore, save for the Texans game, the 5 game win streak is a false sense of security. This team narrowly beat the Jags, Lions, and Cards during that stretch.

No wonder we always play well indoors.
