Justice Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Whatta game by the D. They were awesome. Great to see Lawyer Milloy back! Now only if Vincent can get healthy. Spikes was a monster. Look at the way he plays against his former division. You can tell that he knows their schemes very well. Schobel was also ballin'. What's that now? % and a half sacks in the last three games? Very impressive. My only hope is the O catches up to the D before the D gets too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Ours is a very talented and poorly coached defense. I cannot explain the multiple third and long conversions against them any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not blaming this loss on the defense. Not at all, but with all this talent, why the conversions on third and long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailog80 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If Jamal Lewis and Todd Heap played I suspect the D stats wouldn't look so rosey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about shutting a team down in the second half: 1st Half: Passing: 10/16 86yards 0TDs Rushing: 72 yards, 1 TD Points: 10 (plus 7 points from Defense) 2nd Half: Passing: 0/3 Rushing: 28 yards 0TD's Points: 3 pts Thats right folks. Boller did not complete 1 pass, and they only rushed for 28 yards in the second half. (How can that be right?) Guess what...we still lost. The defense is NOT the problem. BTW, we had a better 3rd down conversion rate yesterday than the Ravens did. Buff: 5-15--33% Bal: 4-13--31% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
