2nd) Leftwich did well, but has not played any other significant time at ALL this season to compare...

3rd) Orlovsky' numbers were break even...60% comp/88 QBR - 58.4% comp/80.3 overall .. definitely NOT much worse against others like YOUR ignorant statement was...

YOU failed to mention Romo, who we played just FOUR games ago who had a 72.4 QBR and 2 Ints in the game. Matter of fact... he had his 2nd & 4th worst QBRs against us (out of 11 games)...

I can keep going...

How about McNabb? 196 yds, 58.6% comp, 0 TDs, 79.1 QBR vs Skins - 60.9% comp,86.7 QBR overall...

or Eli Manning?? 54.3% & 61.8% comp, 61.1 & 88.5 QBRs vs Skins - 60.3% comp, 86.4 overall...

So that leaves ONE QB this ENTIRE 14 GAME SEASON who had a remotely BETTER day than usual.. Ryan Fitzpatrick with an amazing 55% comp and one London Fletcher or Mike Green CATCH away from a QBR in the 60's...

I mean... obviously you WANTED me to call you out on being TOTALLY incorrect by carrying this on... right?

What impresses me most about our defense is we have no pass rush to speak of. Plus how many INT's have we dropped?? If these guys could just catch the ball!!! Also Cinn had most of their yardage on the first few drives. After that Blache adjusted and shut them down. That's what I really like about him and that's a sign of good coaching. He makes adjustments and he's been doing it all year long.

As long as guys are in position to make plays then I can't blame Blache. Rarely have I seen guys out of position this year. When we get beat it's cause the other guy was better. I can accept that. I remember in 06 guys were all over the place, out of position and what not. It seemed Williams was trying to be too cute. Blache seems to keep it more simple.

What happened on that last drive when the Bengals held the ball for something like 8-9 minutes? The Skins have been burned in the 4th quarter a bunch this year, for whatever reason in crunch time they falter. I'm not saying it's all on Blache, but there's just something there that makes you wonder why they can't close teams out in the 4th.

From what I've seen our guys are just getting ran over in those situations. The coaches can't go out there and tackle can they? They can't make guys get off blocks can they? Who on our front line is good enough to make a stop or a sack when we have to have it? No one.

No but he can make adjustments as you say. I'm just not convinced the players are entirely to blame.

I'd say that our D faltered in the first 1/4 thes week and not in the fourth.

I have posted this many a times, but for as good as our D is, they have been horrible every 1st quarter. They usually picked up as the game went along, but as our offensive struggles have risen, they have, of late, faltered in the 4th quarter too. 2nd and 3rd quarters, the D has been stellar.

He's got a good point, they controlled the clock for over 7 minutes in the 4th quarter on one drive.
