I didn't get either reference, but I'm an old fart anyway.
Back to topic: maybe the thread's title should be re-named The Worst Pass-Rush in the History of the World, because except for one beautiful night in PitsDirt, that's what we have. I still have no fu#%ing idea why Shawn Crable was waived less than a week after playing over 40 snaps vs. the Squealers. After 2 years of waiting for his chicken legs to finally get healthy, then he gets sh!tcanned? And just for a fortnight of Putrid Woods, and now the never-was Eric Moore? WTF? Pass-Rusher MUST be a major, major priority during the off-season.
And Dynasty's point is correct: allowing 400 yds of offense, incl. 130 on the ground, then expecting (hoping) to be bailed-out by an INT or two, at the same time expecting (hoping) that your offense doesn't turn the ball over AT ALL, is a fool's errand in the POs.
What we should all be hoping for instead is that the current trend of allowing only 10 points in the last 90 mins. of football continues. This might be the last tough road game of the season, so we should have a better idea of the current state of the defense, and of its prospects going forward, at around 8pm Sunday night.
