Pass defense has me worried...

[mheisig]

Ok, I am NOT a pessimist who can only find the bad stuff of the game - hell I've been so elated since yesterday I don't know what to do with mysef. I couldn't be more proud of this team.

The one major thing that concerns me is our pass defense. It's the big reason we lost to Tampa Bay last time, giving up huge plays to Galloway, and it was a nightmare all yesterday. We gave up 264 yards and 2 TDs (yes we had 2 INTs) to MIKE MCMAHON and KOY DETMER.

264 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs really isn't all that bad - pretty typical NFL passing. But we did this while playing against mostly Mike McMahon and a bunch of Eagles backup receivers. This should have been an absolute smother D against an offense of such low caliber.

We came out with the win, just like we have the previous 4 weeks, and that's the important thing. Stats don't matter much as long as you win.

I just gotta say it worries me - this rash of injuries to our DBs is leaving second-rate WRs wide open deep down the field.

Someone please convince me it's not as bad as I worry and we'll do fine against Tampa Bay. Please?
