Why did this defense have success against P.Manning and the 9-0 Colts and then do a complete 180 over the next 4 games?

If 29 GM's not employed by the Saints, Eagles or Cowboys were given a choice of one of those rosters to start the 2007 season, which would they choose?

How do/did the eagles and saints crush us in our own stadium?

How did the Saints and Eagles get so much more production from thier front seven in run defense and pass rush than we did in our games?

Would any of you trade our top 10-11 DL and LB's for those on either the Saints or Eagles?


I'm convinced that we lag these teams in two key areas:

OL and Defensive Coordinator.


I've been one of Parcells biggest supporters. I'm not saying he shouldn't be back.
What I am saying is that this late season collapse is on him!

We had everything in front of us for the taking. We had two games at home against teams with inferior talent. ***H!

Teams finally figured out that our OLine sucked, and you can get to Romo because the receivers would run go routes, fades, and that stupid roll out hit the receiver on the sideline pass.

And other teams finally realized that big plays could be had by simply going deep and none of our secondary would be able to spot the ball in the air or make a play for it.

But honestly, we can't generate a pass rush, and if you can't do that, you can score on any team.

1. We generated pressure against the Colts without having to blitz.
2. We "fake" blitzed a lot with Manning and it seems to rattle him.
3. The offense was able to sustain many long time-killing drives, thus keeping Manning off the field late in the game.
4. A couple fortuitous turnovers, one of which saved a TD.

29 of 32 GMs would take the Saints' roster over Dallas's or Philadelphia's, because Bush, Colston, Evans are 3 rookies playing well, Roman Harper will be back, and there's nothing special about the young players on Dallas or Philadelphia.
