Yeah, that picket line failed on third and long much too often for all of us but injuries were the main problem this year and how much worse it got when McLeod got hurt. It was no coincidence how much the defense got better when Jernigan came back as the pass rush improved immeasurably. As for Schwartz, Brandon Marshall was again on Inside the NFL last night and said that Schwartz was the best DC in the NFL and he hated playing against him because you never knew what he was going to do so I would say that much of his conservative tag goes out the window. There are a lot of things that go on in the defensive backfield that we as fans don't notice. Many times the db in the picture isn't even the player responsible for covering the receiver who caught the ball and somebody else made the mistake. I'm glad that he's here and hope that he stays for a long time!
As for the players, they left it all on the field Sunday as they should have. I know that everyone else agrees with that. If Alshon only didn't make the mistake.......shit happens I guess. Let's face it, if it weren't for a missed fg against Chicago we never would have gone to New Orleans in the first place and if New Orleans kicker made his the game was over right then. We had some good luck there which we all know is needed in a SB run. We were lucky as hell just to make them when Minnesota choked. Then again who knows how much our offense would have been better if our horse Ajayi didn't go down? Despite all of this it still hurts to lose, really hurts. Proud of my team yes but losing still stinks!
