However, 4th and goal, 6 inches from a TD and they call a play to pitch it 5 yards behind the LOS to try and run that final 6 inches? C'mon everyone on the defense knew who was getting the ball yet our offensive coaches (incluing the head coach) decided to still pitch the ball back 5 yards. That's a coaching problem IMO.
I really think was has happened is that N.O. laid out the blueprint to beat this defense and we can't counter this late in the season. I remember Belichick and Wiess doing this to the Steelers on the opening week of 2003. They never recovered and finished 6-10. And they were considered to be a top defense.Woods;1257369 said:Our defense is exhausting to watch.
What has happened the last 3-4 weeks?
We just can't seem to stop ANYONE.
Whether it's Vick, E. Manning, etc. etc.
It's amazing that Romo has the success he has when our defense is exuding no confidence.

We need some pressure on the QB, be more aggressive, probably need to replace James, and pull another scheme out of the bag if Zimmer has one.
On offense they need to pass until Philly backs off the pressure. They need to be made to play honest. And you aren't going to sweep past this defense near the goal line with 7-8 men on the LOS.
Good Grief!
