Atlanta Gets Blown Out (Zimmers Defense)

[NewEraCowboy]

Not our problem anymore

The classic "bend until you break" defense.

There will be 6 teams that regret not taking Peterson. People who said Calvin Johnson was the best player in the draft will be laughed at.

Ouch!! lol

 

[Frozen700]

lol zimmer is a loser

His defense is going to be on the field alot, because that atlanta offense is putrid.

Maybe Atlanta fans should start a GROZ chapter.

Actually Zimmer's defense only allowed 302 yards and 10 points. Minnesota's other 14 points came off of Harrington's 2 interceptions that were returned for touchdowns.

I'm no fan of Zimmer but not exactly his fault.

How dare you introduce facts into a ridiculous thread!

 

[dargonking999]

14 points came off the Def

7 of the other points came from a single play, that was just horrid play by the players, no one even touched the guy.

so in reality they gave up 3 points and about 250 yards.

That's on 50 plays. They gave up an average of 6 yards per play. Minnesota only had 8 drives.

You're not going to run up much yardage when you're leading the entire game.

Yes and they were able to grind it away because they got the lead early (Harrington's first INT) and Atlanta's Offense posed no threat to them whatsoever.

Once again, I'm no fan of Zimmer but his defense was not the reason they lost today.

For a team that's just griding it away and running clock off, they sure did get a lot of yardage.

The first of many teams that Adrian Peterson will run through.

 

[dbair1967]

Zimmer defense today...no sacks (against a deer in the headlights QB who had no clue)...one fluke turnover (int off a ball that bounced 20-30 yds downfield) and gave up about 140 yds rushing when they knew thats all the other team could do

classic Zimmer

Not really. 300 yards ain't a hell of a lot to write home about, even if you are grinding the clock.

Uhh...ok. His team had horrible field position all day, because they couldn't stop a team that was intent on running it down their throat when they had the lead.

.....and yet if Harrington and the Offense play even a decent game (by NFL Standards), the field position battle is a non-issue and Atlanta might actually make a run at winning the game instead of settling for one mere 45 yard field goal.

You're right. They sucked at both offense and defense. That's why it was 24-3 against a non-playoff team.
