The fans aren't the only ones who have sour grapes. This from Safety John Lynch:
"I don't know if Wade's (ticked) off the Broncos fired him, but it sure looked that way," Broncos safety John Lynch said.
"That's not what they did," Lynch said. "They came out and game- planned us, blitzing every play. They came after us. It's no excuse for the way we played. But I think they might have broken the code of ethics for the preseason."

I wasn't supporting his comments. I think it makes them look like sore losers.
Nope I didn't catch that game. I'll take your word on it.
The Steelers seemed to be going all out on defense as well, last night - I think it's normal to blitz in the preseason.

"code of ethics" is just an excuse for "getting your butt kicked" I guess.Hostile;1595197 said:

What's up Amish? What did you think of your teams performance last night? I didn't get to see the game.

You know... if Lynch tried REALLY hard... he could pin the blame on Ekuban's injury on Phillips too... hmmm...AmishGangsta;1595177 said:

What's up man
You know, last week we looked horrible on offense, yet, somehow our 3rd stringers won the game - to be honest, I was a bit concerned; we looked like we did in last years preseason.
This week, I thought we dominated the game, despite the low score, and losing it in the 4th quarter, it just seemed like it was our night - have you been watching these games in the preseason, to where you can just tell from a physical standpoint which team is manhandling the other? I felt like the Skins were faster and played more physical than Pittsburgh.
We came out and looked polished on offense. Campbell was hot and was leading the Skins first offense down the field to score, just before he took that hit to the knee and left the game -- surprisingly, Collins looked pretty good after taking over, and I think he's going to take the #2 job.
Brunell looked like a clown out there, per his usual - I hope they cut the guy and give Palmer the 3rd spot.
The defense played lights out! Back to the 3 and outs that we've been accustomed to ever since Gregg Williams has coached our defense -- excluding last year.
Rocky Mcintosh has suprised me; he's been a standout - why on earth he didn't play last year is beyond me?!?
I think the Skins can get back to top of the league on defense, if they can stay healthy; i'm not so sure about the offense yet, if we lose Campbell it could get ugly!

Those Steelers are one dirty team. An "accidental" hit on Palmer, now this

Certainly, the whole article should've been posted, but the 'code of ethics' quote still reads the same. Or am I wrong?Bungarian;1595303 said:

Your run defense is much improved (Rocky McIntosh had a helluva game last night), I still see vulnerability in your pass defense... it starts with little pass rush-- still...
Gee, the Cowboys are without one starting WR, and played their other starter sparingly, yet they've been quite productive on offense... they were missing both their starting tackles in the first preseason game, too...
We seem to be about as banged up on offense as y'all are, yet we're just rolling right along offensively, to the tune of nearly 335 yards a game and 27 points per game... as a point of comparison, the Skins are averaging exactly 235 yards per game, nearly 100 yards a game less, and 12 points per game...
No, they didn't... the offense was ineffective most of the night, gaining a total of 226 yards on 59 plays... that ain't even close to "decent"... I don't mean to be insulting, but facts is facts; thus far this preseason, your defense (particularly your run defense) has been quite good, notably improved... this although it's still not generating much in the way of turnovers or pass russ pressure... but your offense has been pretty bad, there's just no gentler way or putting it... we're talking less than 2.5 yards per carry, less than 4 yards per play... as good as your defense has been, you have been outgained by each of your opponents thus far...
As for the OL, the return of Samuels will help, but his absence points up the utter lack of quality depth on your team... you guys will have severe problems every time one of your starters has to leave the field... and that LG problem will be with you all season long; Todd Wade is never going to make a quality guard... it wouldn't surprise me if y'all wound up starting the season with Mike Pucillo at LG...
I hope you understand I'm not just talkin' smack here, I just have to call it like I see it...

Sorry bro, I'm not going to post the whole article on here, I'm not trying to plagiarize and it's a bit tacky - I did give a link however; I think he was joking about Wade being mad because the broncos fired him, I don't think he was joking about the rest, or else why in the world would he say anything at all? He was obviously upset.
That would be like me coming on here and making that statement and saying, oh by the way guys I'm just joking.

Yeah, but the one thing you fail to mention, despite losing our starting QB, our first team offense still came out and scored against the steelers first team defense - that's usually what matters in the preseason; I can't speak much for the second and third stringers, because they didn't seem to do much.

I don't know how you see a vulnerability in our pass defense considering our starters forced two shutouts back to back and only allowed a field goal on the third - I think the Steelers had a total of 2 pass plays completed against our defense -- that were of any significance.
Seems more like wishful thinking here.

Right, they were 9th... do you call that an "offensive juggernaut"?? I call that "mediocre"... and of course, they're under all new management this year, installing a more passing-oriented offense... it would be reasonable to assume they haven't got the thing down cold quite yet...
Bottom line, the Skins have not been tested by a prolific offense yet this preseason, and while they have been quite stout against the run, they have been less than scintillating against the pass... not bad, mind you, but they are giving up just under 195 yards a game passing... and in one of those games, the opponents' starting QB got himself suspended just before the game...
And as I've noted, the two glaring deficiencies for the Skins' defense last year were the inability to sack the quarterback, and an inability to force turnovers... well, after two preseason games, they've got one of each...
For sure, the Skins' defense won't be as bad as last year, it's clear that it's much, much better already at defending the run... but I don't see it as a top 10 defense... maybe middle of the pack...
Now that offense, that looks like it has the potential to be very, very bad... I say that in the full awareness that we haven't seen Portis or Betts unleashed, and that Chris Samuels will be back before too much longer... but I see problems on that offensive line, at LG and especially the depth, and other than Moss, they don't have any WRs who can stretch the field... we've seen a heavy emphasis on throwing the ball underneath this preseason, and I'm solidly convinced the quality of your WRs has forced this approach on them... basically, I see your offense pretty much collapsing if y'all suffer one or two injuries to your starters on the offensive line... I know, no teams really have quality depth in this era of the salary cap, but your backups along the offensive line are dreck... if you have to rely on one or two of them for more than a game or so, your offense is in deep doo-doo...
Now, just to throw you a bone, show you that this isn't just smack talk, I was impressed with Jason's game last night before he got hurt... he was under some pressure, but was still effective... and I wanna know what kind of drugs you guys fed Rocky McIntosh before kickoff, LOL... that dude was crazed out there... if you can get that dosage right each game, he's gonna do good things for you, right up to the time he kills himself making a tackle...

Just wondeirng, but how many offenses do you consider prolific in the league?
The only ones I can think of are Indy, Cincinatti and New Orleans and quite possibly New England this season and maybe Philly if McNabbs recovery is good. Considering that 3 of the 5 most efficient offenses in the league are in the AFC, I guess you'll be left dissapointed in terms of watching the Commanders pitch a TD shutout to them.

Errrrr uhhhh maybe Lynch doesn't know this, but that's what you'll get from a 3-4 D, especially this D. Blitzes on almost every play. Any time you send more than DL, by definition it's a blitz. Every time Ware or Spencer or whoever rushes the passer, it's a blitz. There was nothing fancy, no real attempts to hide who the dog was gonna be. This truly is nothing more than sour grapes.
