....is a problem. That is all. Great win though......

Yep we were getting toasted, props to the coaching for the halftime adjustments , 3rd down was better in the second half.

Maybe a little but, Eli plays the Cowboys tough so normal "stats" get thrown out the window.

the defense has been elmer's glue all year....
we need to address it next year... but continue to play hard and create turnovers this year...
they are who they are..

It helps when the OL gets to hold...just saying.

I would check Mincey's face mask for pieces of the left tackles fingers.

You know one of the big differences between this years team and last years team was I thought we did a good job of getting off the field on 3rd downs and converting on 3rd downs. These last couple of games though......neither has been true.

We get blitzed on almost every 3rd and long with a great OL. Why dont we blitz on 3rd and long especially when their OL was patchwork?

I think its not part of Marinelli's scheme basically.

I hate playing Eli... He always gets rid of the ball and looks so much more efficient against Dallas than he does anyone else.


He's a true Cowboy killer. Kind of pathetic how these teams try so hard against Dallas but can't get up to play against other teams.

Poor pass rush will do that to ya.
