It was great to get the win but I want our 9-1 Defense to stop giving up.........

1st Downs on 3rd and 18. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to hit the ceiling when watching a defense of a team with the best record in the NFC constantly give up 1st downs on 3rd and 14, 3rd and 18, and 3rd and 12. That really needs to be FIXED before January

3rd Down D has been a problem all year. We play great on first and second down then go into some lame zone defense that leaves the middle of the field open just about every time.

We can't get off the field on 3rd down. Today was the worst. Any distance they needed they seemed to get. What's worse, most times their WR was so wide open I could have hit them.

Wade's defensive philosophy needs to change on 3rd downs....

The coaches have them play off quite a bit to avoid giving up the big play, then tighten up when the team gets in the redzone. Personally, i dont like that style, give up to much easy yardage. I'd rather see them make teams work harder to advance the ball.
