Indeed it was the announcers were debating if it was or was not as Keon goes flying thru the field of vision on the replay...

Bingo

I would love to see a 4Q statement game against the Pats... 60 minutes both sides of the ball... a game where I dont have this constants stress LOL... but one that puts the Pats on notice that they are not that good... I suspect I wont be getting my wish though... it is my plight to fret and freak out during games...

and If I know you ... with perfect form too !! LOL

Thats it lol... yeah, I was fine with this contract for this money... I was balking at 15mm... i wouldnt balk anymore at 15mm we got a good deal... just sayin.. lol

The miss on 3rd down when the saftey layed out Coleman flat 10 yards down the field was insane to me.

Love the addition of Shakir and Shaq also Dorian Williams and Strong looked poor to me.

a lot of the same thoughts... I did think about getting Bishop in there... Hawes again was a revelation, Kincaid excellent TD... wondering why Brady isnt game planning him more... I like the take on Vandermark and Rousseau, Babich to me is the Kevyn Adams of his job...

Its funny you mention this as I was watching KC Balt and GB Dallas... I actually thought... these defenses look as bad as ours... is this just the new NFL?

Did you see that... like its seems like a requirement for these guys to be jacked.

Ok who are your 3 up and down UP Cameron Johnson - Gutsy for this guy to come out in a knee brace and hold for the FG.. respect to him Cook - I hearby formally apologize for being torn about if we should sign him... I was wrong... this kid makes up for very average WR core and is a threat to break it at anytime.. can you imagine if we were a down field team with a deep threat what this kid might do Walker - he showed flashes in the prior 3 games... he seem to do that more consistently, fingers crossed... I could see how this kid with some experience could become a menace.. Down Rousseau - No more Groot for me until he shows up... he did make 1 tackle... but he seems all but invisible... I get bone bruise, I get setting the edge.. but for what we resigned him for we need way more... way more... he has always been streaky, but to be invisible especially on a Defense that has key injuries and is borderline really bad this guy needs to be a leader... I have not seen this to date Team Tackling - be better... do this against teams looking to make the playoffs it will be the difference in games... highly disappointing, prevents us from getting off the field in 3rd and long... If I am honest the defense in general seems unfocused and honestly lackadaisical ... there is no fired up thing LT "lets go out there like a bunch a crazed dogs" No leader getting frustrated or in peoples faces... concerning to me... hope we get better... but with Babich I really have little hope of that... Officiating - Is it me or literally did they seem like they had an agenda, I dont like to blame officiating but to me this game was a fail... maybe I am over reacting, but that is what I saw.

Totally agree, but I think what makes it worse (and this may be misguided) is that if McD thought he would be any help he would be in there over even Solomon or Epinesa with a clear pec issue for the Saints game... that kinda tells me that he just isnt ready to contribute.. I hope that changes, but who knows...

I think they bring Robbins back... for better or worse if our guy is out... I havent heard a report... but props for him sucking it up with a brace on and holding for the FG...

so I readily admit I am not focused on the LB play... I tend to look to the DL and see what is going on... I will say this.. to date outside of Deone Walker a couple of times and of course Taylor Rapp when it comes to his own team mates... Shaq is the only one I see that lays the wood down and makes you want to avoid him...

Yeah I dont really care if Deone is 3 tech, Rocktek, technotonic or help desk tech... he needs to be out there as far as I am concerned... he wont be perfect but in 4 short games he looks like our best pick of the draft edging out Hawes...

So, I am torn here... maybe our definition of bust is different... like when I say bust it is definitive... they are a bust, lost cause, get em out... but in the end I am with you... highly touted 3rd rd pick not even being able to dress for a game with the below average performance of our defense and even worse pass rush (although yesterdays seemed a bit better) is really disappointing... I had hoped for more.

Seriously

Babich must go if McD refuses then McD must go if Beane refuses then Beane must go.. But Babich gotta go he is the Kevyn Adams of D coaches

I think there is plenty of reason to think they dont get to the bye undefeated. The defense

He is an embarrassment bottom line he needs to be fired today. If McD won't fire him then fire McD his unit is horrific the regression of Rousseau is nothing short of epic... the angles and tackling are an abomination almost no one disrupts and they get gashed on the ground on a weekly basis and this is after playing only 1 team with any hope of making the playoffs

100% no nickname he is a woeful passenger still counting his money

It clearly effected their ability to call a game they were biased and attrocious

Defense is an embarrassment Babich is abhorrent

I agree for the most part... I think from my perspective... beat the Saints... thats all that matters... the rest will be what it will be... so for the stuff we cannot control has been good to us... maybe that will continue, maybe that wont... so I am left with Beat the Saints.. thats it. Honestly, you got what you get in Epinessa, I dont think you will be seeing the 2nd coming of Jerry Hughes out of him... he is an average DE that is very inconsistent.. you can count on him for several big splash plays a season with breaks of not even being noticed... I would love to see if someone else has a higher ceiling.
