A blessing in disguise

[theebs]

Yes...I think they should be better at home...but that Bucs defense has certainly been salty over the last three games. Brees looked horrible.

thats cause he is a turnover waiting to happen and always has been......

anyway, Tampa has played well. Its going to be a challenge but having to deal with zeke and then this passing game is like nothing they have played. Beating kc is their best win but they do not challenge you like Dallas offense will.

The issue that can swing the game is turnovers. Dak needs to get it together because he has turned into a guy who gives the ball up pretty easily all of a sudden. That will get us beat and him not doing that is why he is playing.

I like our renewed focus next Sunday night against Tampa. I have already turned the Gnats page.

Cheers to that!

Let em be, we swept them in 07, if anyone should remain humble it should be them.

How did that regular season sweep work out for us, and them?

GREAT POINT

 

[Gameover]

I have been fighting this notion all second half of the season. Why? Because I like Ws... But I firmly believe we needed something like this to force kick everyone back in gear. That includes Linehan, Dak, and DEZ.

We were getting a little too full of ourselves and a game like that is just the medicine to help reestablish that focus in practice.

I have really been fighting this thought but I believe there's a lot of legs to it. Last night may be the game that propels us further than we think we will go into the playoffs.

I just didn't think we could win 18 straight games. All that full of ourselves is hogwash.

The future is now and it is bright.

Yeah. I hear you. But it was starting to happen. Guys can do whatever they want on their own time but even I have to say poppin bottles and making it rain before you've really do anything is a bit premature. Also, the real indicator for me was Lucky Whitehead. Fringe player....getting a big head. It was time for a reset.

A Super Bowl win is the goal. Even Jimmy lost a couple of games each year on the way to a championship.

I competely agree, Bleu. This is what the team needed.

And no, the past weeks didn't do this. The past two weeks, if anything, showed the team that "subbar play" (if you wanna call it that, Zoners... for me, the past two games we played great, but I digress) could still land a win.

Now they finally saw that subpar play results in a loss. Dez, Dak, Coaches (not Rob, he is a certified stud and has been all season). We have to go back to the drawing board and learn learn learn from this atrocious game.

And we will.

We needed to get punched in the mouth (so to speak -- with a loss -- more than the Giants almost equally lousy play) since we began such a dominant run.

Miss me with this "blueprint" malarkey, too, Zoners. The blueprint to beat Dak has been out since college. If Dez doesn't doesn't fumble, we keep driving and probably at least tie the game up.

GREAT OP Bleu, my dude. Lots of cray cray threads in the Zone this AM

We needed to get punched in the mouth--just like that Roo

What did Whitehead do? I avoid coverage

 

[Tenkamenin]

I hate being swept by this team. Their fans are obnoxious right now.

Don't be surprised if we see them again in the post-season, however I expect us to whip them soundly.

Violates team rules. Missed a meeting.

The irony would be welcomed if we can reverse the results of the 2007 season on the Giants this time.

The last loss this team had, we went 11 straight.

Are you sounding dumb on purpose? Dez fell on a first down play, INT. Dez stopped running on a play where Dak threw it, but I'll give you that INT, he shouldn't have thrown it.

I don't get it either but I have a tremendous amount of respect for theebs. I'm sure he has his reasons for this line of thought.

Same as some believing I have tunnel vision because I expect more out of Dez than the disappearing act he logged last night.

I agree sets us down back to reality. In the long run we will be thankful that we had a game like this. Pressure is less because media thinks we now have no chance, I would rather be the underdog.

Eerly similar to early December 07 game against eagles in which we lost 10-6

Team really never recovered

This is not 07
