From Bad To Worse

The matchup couldn’t have been better. You’re 0-1 heading into your home opener. You gave up 45 points last week and are hosting a team that didn’t score an offensive touchdown and has nearly zero weapons. Just what the doctor ordered. Then you proceed to give up 35 points. Simply pathetic and embarrassing. Even more embarrassing than that was the look of the defensive unit as the camera panned the bench. Just sitting there, no anger, no nothing. Strahan shaking his head, that even looked fake.

The good? There wasn’t much. Manning played and did a good job, as did the offensive line. And Derrick Ward continues to prove he is a legit NFL back. Not a starter mind you, but a real good number two. Gibril Wilson, who I am not a big fan of, looks to be the only player on defense hustling and making plays. Coughlin keeping his cool. Second week in a row I was impressed that he didn’t blow a gasket. Hell, I threw my remote twice.

The bad. Dumb penalties by Toomer and Shockey (although the Shockey one shouldn’t have been called) that cost the team potential TD’s. Missed 34 yard FG. I said I was worried about the snaps from center and this is now two weeks in a row a mishap has occurred.

The f**cking ugly. The entire defense. How can this unit be this bad? Even with a new system, this was the Packers who have nothing, I mean nothing on offense. They have three rookies on the OL and we couldn’t get a sniff of Favre even when blitzing. Mitchell looks horrible on his drops. Even Pierce looks lost. Webster is playing like this a Sunday intramural league. Butler is always in the picture…..after a completion!! I have the same feeling I had over the last eight games last year. Even if we get a lead late, the other team will simply go down the field and score.

I’ll give it two more weeks (quarter of the season) before I start calling for lineup changes.
