Stop Freaking Out People

Guys relax and move on to Arizona. We lost a heart breaker no doubt but put away the lynch mob

Good things...

1) Our defense is playing awesome and for the 3rd straight time shut down the #1 rated offense.
2) I was pleased with MB and TT running the ball we have some good depth at RB. But this team is seriously missing JJ right now. Defenses are not giving our offense any respect at all with him not in there.
3) Tucker and Allen played good together

Bad things...

1) Penalties are killing us.
2) Our offensive line is struggling. Al Johnson had another short snap. When Gurode comes in we do better running the ball. Rivera is playing very mediocre and I am wondering if part of Pettiti's struggle was compensating for Rivera getting owned? I noticed they were really trying to trick Pettiti with stunts in stuff. Honestly I thought he really stepped it up in the second half. I look forward to watching the game several times to know for sure. Right side of the line is having lots of problems but it is to be expected they have not played together very much.
3) The reason we are losing is because of our offensive line guys everything this team can be depends on that. Every loss we have the line has played poorly and Bledsoe has people in his face. I think getting JuJo back will help our line out because teams will respect us a little more.

The Bad: We have only been playing in Heart Breakers or Heart Stoppers. As Parcells stated, you'll win some of those and lose some. At this rate we'll finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs. (maybe one more win due to the Philly game) but even with 9 wins, it's no guarantee.

There are a bunch of things to take from this game.

The defense is young (except DT) and they keep us in EVERY game. We shut everyone down, it doesn't matter.

The RBs are young and playing well. We have two young QBs, one can be the future. We have two young tackles and probably want a stud tackle to add. Rogers is still on the team, on IR, maybe he comes back with a fire under his ***. Flozell might come back with an attitude and a goal.

Peterman, Gurode, Johnson, Noll are all young, only can get better with time. Rivera/Allen gives us time to find young talent to take over.

Crayton/Copper are solid, need a new threat at WR in 1-2 years.

The problem with why we lose is simple in my mind. Parcells gets a lead, he likes to run run run to kill the clock.

The defense gets a 3 and out, we run 3 downs or 2 then pass, punt. The defense is back out. It doesn't matter what team you are, who you have, what you do, you get tired. Our defense is getting tired and that's all there is to it.

They were beat with Washington, NY Giants, and yesterday.

The offense just stalls out and plays not to lose, but should play to seal the deal.

It happens. We need a stronger OL to protect Drew, we have the WRs for him, 2 good TEs, and 3 young RBs. Do we have that game breaker RB? I don't know, JJ isn't the same running forward. He's playing not to lose yards, rather than trying to change the game. Who knows

I'm just excited for the future.
