Thanks for taking an undermanned, untalented (on defense), rag tag bunch and keeping them relevant for all 16 weeks of the season. Many teams were irrelevant by week 6--right Raiders and Chiefs?

I should start a "Let's kick Spider in the balls" thread.

Playing for the division in Week 17 with 7 RBs on IR is an impressive feat... a lot of teams would have collapsed into the cellar after losing half that many.

Yeah the RB situation affected us so much on defense. If we would have had them we only would have lost 51-13.

actually it did , too much passing , not enough grinding out the clock .......

BigBad · 12-29-2008, 02:35 PM

I appreciate Shanahan's ability to draft defense.....anyway Maurice Clarett can get out of jail and play LB?

How many punts did you see Spider? I can recall one maybe two all night (after the game was over). The simple fact is when you don't stop someone everytime they touch the ball you ain't gonna win. tatum looked decent running the ball last night and the defense still did nothing. I know you were just as mad as I was watching that crap last night why do you want to give Shanny a pass today?

Inkana7 · 12-29-2008, 02:37 PM

He did a remarkable job this year despite what some may think. 17 players on IR, people.

Maybe it's because he doesn't feel Shanny is responsible for the defense biting on play action EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Is Shanahan the reason DJ had to fix his glove in the middle of pursuit?

No I admitted half way through the year both of our teams suck. We just suck least.

Thank You Mike we have the exact same conversations about what's wrong with our team every offseason for 10 yrs and counting.

knock it off , seriously , everyone knows you leave a defense to long on the field they wear down , think back to when we had TD , long drives , time consuming , power football in the redzone , you wont get far by passing alot ....

Actually our defense stayed fairly intact and the guys that did come in (Woodyard, Larsen etc) played better than our starters. We weren't undermanned and the lack of talent falls on the coaches who drafted Crowder, Moss, Paymah and everyone else that doesn't measure up. The Patriots had key guys go down this year as well and they embarassed us as well. How can anyone be an apologist after watching that crap last night

I was about to say exactly that. People just don't understand the importance of a running game.

Stop making excuses for the defense last night. They were terrible period. Run game, pass game...doesn't matter they were horrid and Shanny says that evening we are keeping our DC. There were too many pass plays but that doesn't forgive the egg the D layed.
