Yeah-ST really needed alot of work and the other coaches were working heavily on it, but I DOUBT this was the reason we weren't prepared for this game.
What was our excuse for not being adequately prepared for the Giants playoff game? Or the Skins game a couple of weeks ago? Or the AZ game last week?

The offensive stats for the Giants didn't tell the whole story. Yeah, we held them to "merely" 220 total yards, but there were 2 TD drives in the game where their RBs and lower string receivers were making critical plays.(the one before the half and the go-ahead one) All in all, it felt like the D didn't have a good game. Plus Eli missed a wide open Burress early in the game, which would have made it 14-0.

Oh I agree this defense is playing far below the level to what it should play...
I also have never been a friend of a 3-4 defense but if we are going to play it than you need to have a better DE NT DE combo than we have because none of these guys (including Rat) are demanding much of a double team and running a one gap system they need to put more pressure on the QB and they can't do it

WE were not prepared for sure.
Don't know the reason.

Tough to say David, I guess you could say that any game we won...but that would be too simple...I think in each and every game we played this year one aspect of the game (offense, defense, special teams) was not clicking like it should... but than again, that, is not giving any credit to the teams we play and that would be a mistake.
Do I think we need a coaching change... yes I do but that doesn't necessarily mean firing Wade... but he does need to change what he is doing because it isn't working.
but as far as this one game goes it maybe that too many assistants were concentrating on special team and not the opponent....just a thought

Whats up Zaxor ---I think this whole team is mentally weak --and remember back to the summer when we said say no to Flo. These are suppose to be the best in the NFL ---how can they not be prepared even if the whole week is spent on special teams

Hey! Bob... I think the mentally weak part is probably pretty accurate... and I think we can agree we should have had some sorta alternate plan for Flo as he has shown time and again how inconsistent his performances can be ...and as far as the players being prepared I think that is what Jerry was mad at...these little boys have to be walked through and held by the hand or they just don't do what is neccessary and that is perhaps why they are mentally weak.

Heh-Cleveland helped us out with a bunch of dropped passes and a fumbled exchange by Derek Anderson on their opening possession when they were threatening. Who knows? It could have been a different game otherwise.
IF we played Green Bay now, we would probably lose, why? B/c Rodgers is a young QB who was due a bad game early in the year.
Otherwise, we really haven't played well all year.
