Atlanta Gets Blown Out (Zimmers Defense)

[Roughneck]

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

Eh, I'll say "sucked" at one end and "mediocre at best" at the other.

Wow... I hope Atlanta doesnt challenge the Browns for first pick

They'll be picking Brohm if they do.

John Abraham, welcome to the black hole! The defensive scheme where pass rushers disappear.

He'll be missing the rest of the season with an injury soon enough anyway.

Harrington will be benched soon.

That Schaub trade is looking ludicre.

On a related note I'm so glad I picked up Adrian Petersen in my fantasy league this year.

Peterson slid because of health concerns. No one has ever questioned his talent. His upright running style and injury problems are the only thing that might hold him back.

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.

I would not be suprised if Atlanta's D is statistically ahead of ours at the end of the season, even if their defensive players weren't personally selected by a football god like Bill Parcells and as such are far less talented.

Big props to the voice of reason. I thought Peterson was the 2nd best player to Detroit's WR only due to the injury questions. Frankly without the injury questions, I like him better than the guy NO took 1st overall last season.

For posters to totally disregard Peterson's presence in the game or the good performance of Atlanta's D for the sole reason that they want an excuse to continue to smear Zimmer for Parcell's lame schemes is just pathetic. IMO.

looks like atlanta's defense wore down late. They held Jacksonville to 3 points through 3 periods and then gave up 10 in the final quarter. Shame Atlanta doesn't have an offense as good as ours.
