Not sure why my 'We got lucky' post was construed by so many as being negative.
To put it into context.
While most were berating the collapse against the Texans, my opinion was that we just didn't get the breaks in that game which we did against the Eagles.
Still think the Texans game was by far our best performance so far.
You should have included that context earlier.

It time to give Haslett some credit, I was dogging him...but last week, he adjusted to a bunch of 4 man fronts....this week...he did the same with selective blitzing again....it worked again...I am so glad he has adjusted...I really thought his apparant heavy commitment to the 3-4 and radical blitzing was completly inflexible the first 3 weeks. Wow...great to see Chris Wilson, Alexander, Philip Daniels all playing their appropriate roles...I think Haslett is starting to understand the talents of his individual role players...and that is a MASSIVE development.

I agree. I was one that was critical of Haslett and what our defense was doing. But some of the criticism was deserved. He was really slow at benching Carter when he looked awful all preseason. I want to see more of Wilson at Left OLB. He is a great player. Daniels made a couple of big plays today.
Our nickle package continues to give up big plays and is very weak at stopping the run. Some changes need to made in that lineup.
