Awful, awful game for Wilson.

I think that all of our DBs deserve a big slice of Humble Pie, IMO.

He was equally bad against the run and pass. B. Meriweather looking like an option if this continues. Whole secondary a step slow. I thought cb's played way too soft in coverage. TO and Crayton are big dudes. Neither is a deep threat. Have to get more of a jam on them. We usually have help over the top. So, it's not catastrophic if they get behind you.

Awful, awful thread for drew4008.

Maybe you'd like to give us a rundown? Or at least a full sentence?

MrBigglesWorth · 10-14-2007, 07:18 PM

I think you're nitpicking.

if anything there were two major plays:

the strip of brady for a td

and the kickoff return.

other than that, the defense as a whole had trouble at times.

the pats controlled tim of possession big time

The defense gave up 24 points and didn't have a takeaway until desperation time. And they did that without being handed bad field position by the other units.

That's not a strong result.

After good QB pressure and great overall defensive results the first few drives, the defense seemed to become generally much less effective.

Please elaborate. The defense as a whole had several lapses.

The four missed tackles by Seau, Samuels, Sanders and Green in the end zone on Barber were inexcusable.

Actually it was 20 points given up by the D. Good performance overall I thought. Our DBs tackeld poorly, Samuel is trying to strip too many balls rather then laying a good hit/tackle. Hard to be upset over a 21 point win.

I'm not sure about your math... but I know the offense gave up 7 of the 27 points.

Generally, a defense giving up 17 or less points is considered a good result. Usually a team will win if they give up 17 or less points.

Giving up 20 points to a offense the caliber of Dallas' offense? That's a great result. All the metrics until Romo's brainfart game against Buffalo had Dallas as one of the league's best all-around.
