the VG board football thread

The emotional vomiting after losing this game will be substantial as everyone blames everything.

I blame 2 things

1) Terrible run blocking offensive line..so we have the best guards in the NFL but can't run up the middle? Is Kruetz and our tackles that horrible? Or are our guards over-rated?

2) our defense cannot generate turnovers. We are terrible at it. Right now we take all these risks with our blitz packages, yet we can't generate turnovers. Might as well never blitz when we are on the road.

Rough football weekend..sigh

i think kreutz may very well be that bad. he's constantly manhandled. charlie brown is too overzealous. the defense is flat. players look to be out of position or lacking any kind of field vision or both (i'm looking at you shanle, nice 65 yard td), and our secondary seems to be getting burned..a lot. the fact that we are giving up turnovers instead of creating them is a really big deal. there is so much potential and talent on the team that it frustrates and disappoints just that much more when we look this bad.

If you turn the ball over 4 times, create no pass rush, give up big plays to no name players, the refs can eject Brees for being hit late and you still can't lay any blame on them. What a horrendous showing from the entire team.

it pains me to have to agree with this.
