uffda udfa, I don't understand you at all. You could present your ideas in a short, clear, simple manner , yet you tend to draft half a novel that is hard to follow, upsets some members, and bores to tears many others.

The whole forum idea is to express your ideas without pissing people off. Making new friends, not trying to make a record number of enemies. My own post do not always meet with universal approval, but I try not to personally attack another member.

Being the rattling pebble in the hubcap gets old very quick.

[cheers]

But again this season, name a team in the NFC that doesn't have a hole in it?

Dallas is as close to complete as there gets, but relying completely on untested players at key roles on offense. There defense is giving up just 20 yards less a game... not a dominate defense at all.

Atlanta goes as Ryan goes, much like Favre, he can be unpredictable. Might go for 3 or 4 TD's or go down in a blaze of 3, 4, 5 maybe 6 interceptions. But guess what, their defense is near the bottom as well.

Seattle's defense looks like a shell of itself minus Thomas... offense has been leaned upon more late in the season with very mixed results.

Giants offense is anemic.

The Lions are what they are... average at best on both sides of the ball. Consistent. Beatable.

Basically.... welcome to the new NFL... it is an offensive game where any defense can be torched at any given time. Not saying we are not behind, but we certainly are in the mix this postseason.

I expect more out of the Green Bay defense... but until they make changes in philosophy, I expect a passive defense that lives by the turnover or gets scored upon consistently.

We consistently will have to out run them on offense, which makes the times Mike McCarthy goes into his passive play calling maddening. We should be a peddle down until the final seconds team at the moment... or be in a coin flip at the end like we have seen a number of times.

That is about my only complaint with the offense over the past 5 or 6 years... keep the foot on the gas.

10-6 is about right for a team that relies upon their offense, that at times is very one dimensional. They have to be lights out most games to win.

I am not a Dom hater, but I am one that thinks it is time for a change in vision there. Year after year, one cannot point only on the personnel for the lack of consistency out of the defense.

Yesterday, we couldn't play lights out on offense to keep with them. Defense is what it has been.. passive and living on the turnover.

They took passive to a new level yesterday.. letting guys run free often.

Peppers and Clay are about done. At least in terms of providing a consistent and feared pass rush component. I think they really need to go out and get a couple of guys that can get after the QB FIRST and then look at what to do about the back end because a stout pass rush is going to help those guys. Besides, they have invested in Randall and Rollins who, for whatever the reasons are, went backwards this year but are too young, talented, and invested in, to give up on.
Yes they need to be more aggressive and that starts with aggressively acquiring pass rushing talent even if it is at the expense of moving on from Clay and Peppers but their best days have come and gone. Clay may still have a little in the tank but not at the salary he's at now. If he doesn't come off that, and it wouldn't surprise me if he won't, I would wish him the best.
