Positive Note - Schedule

[BourbonBalz]

Yea, our defense looked pretty bad last night. However, looking at our schedule, maybe it's not as bad as it seems. We don't play many teams this year with powerful, dynamic offenses. The next two weeks we've got Miami and Chicago. Neither are offensive powerhouses. The week after that we've got St. Louis. They've got a good offense, but not much defense. Washington's offense sucks; Philly's offense is good but not great. Green Bay has a poor offense; Minnesota has a below average passing attack; Buffalo's offense sucks; the Jet's offense is average; etc. New England and the Giants in N.Y. are the only offenses I see us having a lot of trouble with. We should be able to match St. Louis since they most likely won't be able to stop us, especially at home.

The bottom line is, we should be able to outscore most of these teams, some with ease. If we get Newman back (God I hope so) and Ellis is able to contribute somewhat, we should be fine. The Ferguson injury is extremely troublesome, but we've just got to make some adjustments.

I'm not worried about Miami. Sorry, but Trent Green just doesnt scare anyone anymore.

Rex grossman will make enough mistakes on his own to counter any bad defensive lapses we may have, and our offense may just be good enough to score on that defense

The things is.... the way the defense gives up the big play so fast and so easy... we wont have to play offensive jugganauts or great QB's to be exposed. The most average QB is gonna have great success against us if we dont get this fixed or atleast improved. WR's are just gonna go deep and score on us. Gotta fix it, Mr. Fix it!!

And.... while I believe we can score often.. there will be times when its just not there.... the defense will be very important then... then what?

The Giants are the best offense we will see until St Louis, by a longshot.

Miami has Chris Chambers and Trent Green.

I watched the Bears/SD game yesterday and I know his stats don't show it, but Grossman didn't look that bad. The Chargers D looked light years ahead of ours and Grossman made some nice throws. Against our D I'm guessing he'll look like Steve Young since Eli looked like Montana. Plus, I'm praying that we have things straightened out before Brady and Moss because we all know Moss kills us.

Thank you for this run down, I don't know other teams and was wondering how all this was going down. Are they better than we are etc.???

Orlando Pace got injured late in the first half, and the Rams only scored 3 points in the second half.

Pace was all they had on that line, and he could be out for the season.
