I agree Defense played a poor game yesterday but thankfully when the team needed a stop to get the ball back into the offenses hands the defense stood up and made a big stop before reaching the 2 min warning.

You obviously haven't looked at what any of those quarterbacks have done this season, including Kitna.

Romo has 10 games with at least one interception. So does Anderson. Palmer and Brees have nine games with at least one interception. Manning and Roethlisberger have eight. Kitna? Only seven. So this is the SIXTH time that he has gone without an interception in a game. That's MORE than Manning, Roethlisberger, Palmer and Brees, and TWICE as many as Romo and Anderson.

John Kitna has 15 TDs and 13 interceptions.

Romo has played 13 games this year, and has 14 interceptions. 5 of those interceptions came against the Buffalo Bills. That makes 9 interceptions in 12 games. Plus he's close to leading the league in yards and has plenty of TDs, around 35, clearly compensating for his 1 interception he tends to force into coverage early in the game. Manning has 13 interceptions, and 6 of them came in one game, making it 5 interceptions. He also has 27 TDs.

The guy didn't even have Roy Williams, and they controlled TOP and sustained drives on 3rd. But yeah, our defense held them to above their season average in terms of 3rd down, so Ktna was performing close to his season average per your statistics. this despite the fact that they were above their average in terms of 3rd and long, meaning John Kitna was way more effective than his season average.

Ellis was upset about the run defense, not the pass defense.

And this based on your communication with Greg Ellis? No, Greg Ellis was complaining about their play period...
