Defense did a good job stopping them though. This defense right now is a bend and TRY not to break. If our offense can step it up and start driving down the field we can win this. Not that we will lose but this drive right here is key.

I understand that, but when a player is having so much success doing it, other teams are going to key in on it, especially as the season continues. They need to start working in some play action. But that is what is wrong with this team. They have success early in the season with something and they stick with it. And as the season goes on what they do is picked up, and Huff doesn't adjust in game.

Topic says it all. He looks downright stupid.

You can only use Jacobs so much as a short yardage before you need to start switching it up. Case in point this last run. PLAY ACTION

Well I don't know if I would call it a strength as much as it is the better of 2 evils. But I agree, I'd rather give up 2 deep balls than constantly give up 5-10 yards that leaves our defense on the field for a long time, wearing them out. Get after Garrard and hopefully he will give us some ints like he gave the Texans.

Agreed. If they can stop the run, great. If TL doesn't back off of the blitzing in the second half, all they really need to do is take a blocker out of action and open a blitzing lane. The loss of Mike, Tuck, and Osi is a MAJOR loss don't get me wrong, and of course the "fix" to it does open up weaknesses elsewhere, but we can still get a good pass rush so long as TL is willing to do it.

My #1 concern is the offensive line. The defense seems able to hold its own IF the offense could get something going. I don't care how "bad" Eli has been playing lately. Some of that blame certainly falls on his shoulders, but when he has plays called that put him 7 steps back with an Oline that isn't holding up I can't blame him for not stepping up in his throws. What is he supposed to step up into, his guard/centers backside?

And that is a good point, the FAG4 could very well have been the person/s attacking the board. They obviously live such a pathetic life to begin with, you really aren't decending to a new low crashing a board.

Between the fair-weather fandom, the asinine comments, and the total lack of control combined with the crappy new format, GMB is dead to me.

The old adage "Trying to shove square blocks into round holes" comes to mind often when watching the Gmen play.

A pair of girls I saw at a club few years back. Better resolution and you would really need to loosen your pants.

That was his neck, hence the additional 1 inch of muscle that makes him a better player than Pierce, if you listen to a certain someone.

The sad thing is the beginning of the season no problems, lots of other teams had injury issues and I was always greatful thinking "Wow glad that isn't us." Amazing what a couple weeks can do.

What Eli started Peyton will continue, followed by Eli finishing the deal.

Exactly. It is an exaggeration but it hits close to the truth.

Don't worry, when Carbo says something the exact opposite is true 99% of the time.

Yeah that Ruegamer comment threw me off, I thought ANOTHER key Gman was down on IR for a moment.

Yeah what I meant was a good slant. Keep that up and the CB will eventually come close to the LOS. When he does send speedy Carter or (hopefully speedy) Moss burning past them. Make the defense respect the short game to exploit the long game. I remember one game this season where the GIants came out and threw almost entirely a short passing game to start off, and the offense pretty much dominated all game. I don't know why but Huffie is obsessed with taking deep shots early and often, even if there is a 20mph wind that is gusting to 50mph. As far as changing the gameplan with Pettigout out, we didn't in the Bears game. That is a combination of two things as far as I am concerned. Huff can't make in-game adjustments, and he can't be creative with his playcalling and call the plays that work best for the personnel available.

What happened to Snee?

Woh I didn't even realize I said screen. I meant short passes, not screens.

Me too. Money is great.

I'm not understanding, do you mean we as posters don't have a choice, or Huffie has to call them because of the injuries?

We need more quick screens. Enough of this 7-step drop stuff when our Oline can't even hold the pocket most of the time.

Guy Whimper is a raw project. No chance he goes in. Whitfield deserves one shot at being the clear starter before they start changing up the players on the Oline. These past two games he came in on were cold starts. Oh and Seubert is NOT a tackle, he is a guard. Diehl is the one who would move over to LT and Seubert would take his spot if Whitfield can't handle it.
