NFT: The oline pass blocked very well.....

?

and eli hit everything he could have given the circumstances. still lost the game and it was kindof a must win game looking at the rest of the schedule. our defense cant feel good about letting a guy march down the field who hasnt played in 4 years.

on that side of the ball, albeit against an AZ defense minus a couple leaders on defense (i.e. Darnell Dockett) that might be pretty bad this year. Encouraging nonetheless.

I'm sick of moral victories. We need to win some actual games here or else its going to be last year all over again. We have to play smarter...

they pass blocked "very" well. They were okay at best, albeit against a depleted defense.

I agree. The pass pro was as solid as you could have reasonably expected. I was pleasantly surprised. A few blown blocks here and there but far less than I anticipated.

The run blocking was not quite as good and needs to be better, though.

This team just has to stop freaking turning the ball over and having special teams miscues. It was the theme last year and it's back again this year.

If you told me we'd get through all 60 minutes this Sunday without turning it over vs. Houston, I would tell you right now that we'd win. Unfortunately, I still can't trust this team to protect the rock.

The offense is only going to get better and better as long as they maintain their confidence during these more touch-and-feel times.

My big worry right now is Jon Beason. Even if he does come back quickly, this looks like something that can linger all year and impact his play significantly. We saw what kind of difference maker he can be (and we need) last year.

Losing Thurmond sucks big time, but "fortunately," he is a just a nickel corner in a deep secondary. If there's a lose we can over come, it's him. This isn't to say it's not a big deal. It is. I'm just saying our secondary is our deepest unit.

I agree the offensive line blocked well, and I think they will run block better against less ferocious DTs. They actually run blocked quite well in the Jets preseason game and I'm expecting to see more of that moving forward.

I think we really need to see what Beckham can do ASAP. His presence alone should open things up as I don't think teams are very worried about Jernigan.

Onward.

Probably just bad habit. Sorry nate.

idc - im not one of those - i just thought it might get more hits on the other side. Seems to have been found tho...

screaming at my TV when Richburg just walked away from the fumble like that play was done while the ball is rolling around on the ground.
