This post is nothing but hot "wind".

So nobody thinks the wind was a significant factor?
That's mostly what this thread is about. I figured it was and most people seem to be completely ignoring it. Yes the D played top notch, but doesn't bad weather tend to turn things to favor D's a bit more?
I'm just trying to be realistic here. Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't need to get all ****ed at me for no reason. If you want to just be oblivious to anything but comments expressing how awesome we are then sorry. I enjoyed those all last night and this afternoon, but I think I've had my fill. It's time to look at how we can improve. Isn't that why we're so good right now? Isn't this exactly what the coaches and players do (ignore the praise and look at how to fix whatever didn't go flawlessly)?
Does every post have to be about how great and unstoppable we are?

Tell me HOW the wind factored into us holding them to 89 TOTAL rushing yards??? and i will admit the wind was the reason we looked good and not actually our Defensive scheme, game planning, or players.
Well, what if the wind was reducing the deep ball as a threat allowing us to put more personnel on the short pass and ultimately making them more one dimensional (predictable).
Never said I was some football genius. I did put a question mark after the thread title I think? I'm just... skeptical that the defense is going to play quite that awesome against most teams. That doesn't mean I don't think they're good enough to take us well into the playoffs (if not all the way).
It's my lot in life... I can only manage to create negative threads apparently
I'm not saying it was all wind, I'm just saying that the wind made both QBs play just a little more conservatively. Of course they were also both pressured and our run D has been (statistically) the best part of our D (that and the interceptions, but most of those were delivered by a rookie and an inexperienced guy).
I'm just saying... I don't feel entitled to a lights out performance by the defense every week. Not yet anyway. As long as they stay good against the run, don't commit stupid mistakes and get a turnover now and then, that's all we should need and I'll be happy. If we start shutting teams out like this every few weeks... well then I'll be ecstatic.
