Nice perspective across the board.

I think people are completely focused on on the first couple of plays when the Giants' D overwhelmed the o-line and JC. Yet they forget that our defense held the Giants to 16 pts. even after being on the field for a lot of time b/c of our offense's 3 and outs. I think we have a lot of work to do, but this was not a blowout whatsoever. I think there's room for growth and if our offense plays as they did at the end of the first half, we could be a much better team.

One thing I remember from Blaches Chicago days is that the defense was frequently described as bend don't break. I think we saw a lot of bending this past Thursday but not a whole lot of breaking. With that said I am scared how lost Zorn looked this past Thursday. I guess I'm getting ready to call for the Chin.
