they cant make a frickin tackle. see it every game. 5 defenderers around the guy, but they just stand there as the guy with the ball takes a sidestep and waltzes past the lot of em. most of these guys are mentally slower than an arthritic donkey on weed. half the time they just run straight past the guy with the ball! drives me feckin crackers watching it.
then theres the ones who dive and basically grab the guys shoe. not surprisingly more often than not he shakes it off. why the hell ya do that for?? stand up and tackle him properly ffs.
then prime example in the dallas game, about a million 3rd downs oakland threw into perfect coverage. but then the db just covers the receiver...never looks for the ball...then tackles him once hes caught it! look for the feckin ball you bloody ejits! the first time all night a db actually looked for the ball, carr intercepted it. what is the point in being all over a receiver if you just let him catch the ball??

it's not a defensive game anymore, any sort of hit is flagged, so tough to be a defender in today's NFL
Oakland were 7/13 on 3rd Down and only the Eagles give up more YPG than the Cowboys, so it wasn't a bad job really, SB.
I sometimes wonder get if the NFL is trying to catch up with the conditioning, size, speed, hitting of the players and that feeds into the rise of football as a passing game.

Because that's how the NFL wants it, they want college football scores because the ADHD generation has no patience for a real game of football, like the one played last night in Baltimore.
I still believe that come the playoffs, defense wins. Look at Manning's playoff record, the Colts didn't have defense, the season when they did show up with a defense that was playing out of their minds, they won the SB.
And I also think that the tide is turning a little bit, and these high powered offenses aren't as effective as they once were, I'm sure the numbers won't back me up. But I don't see any teams marching up and down the field all day and scoring at will as was the case a couple of years ago.

Pretty sure that even that year the Colts were getting run all over until safety Bob Sanders returned for the play offs and they looked a different defence altogether.
True dat, DD. Seattle at 4/1 tells a story.
Although Neil the kicker made the point last night that the Packers won the Super Bowl with a mediocre D.

Offense wins games - Defense wins Championships.
I hate those NBA scoring type games. Give me a 9-6 defensive battle any day of the week.

Q. If a defence stacks the box against an Elite RB, who is most likely to benefit, Tight End or Wide Receiver?
I'd sat WR as the TE is likely to be in pass blocking on passing plays and play action plays, if the defense goes 8 in the box.
