To be accurate, we did lose the head to head matchup with them, which puts us in last place in the NFC east.
In some ways, criticisms of Tuna should be harsher than those of Gibbs simply because Tuna's been coaching regularly in the league, unlike Gibbs, who's returning from a long hiatus. It appeared right on draft day that Tuna was being cocky about the boys' chances of making the playoffs this year, when he passed on 2 good RBs that he could've drafted. However, they'll have a monster year next year - 2 ist rounders, and rumour has it that Tomlinson is interested in playing for Dallas when his contract with the chargers is up.
What's scary for us is how the packers rolled over them yesterday. Mike Zimmer used half-assed attempts at blitzing Favre, and he made them pay for it. I have no doubt that Greg Williams will do a better job of containing the Packers scoring, but even 21 points may be too much for our offense to overcome. We can only hope and pray that Favre has an off day - a 4 INT performance, which he's been doing a lot of lately. This will be the first real test for our secondary.LT re-signed a mega deal with the Chargers not too long ago, so we won't have to worry about him going to big D anytime soon.

They do have a chance to reload quickly with those picks next year, but with the way they drafted this year...
