PeytonMannings Forehead Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm all for looking for positives, but I've never been one of those guys who believed that yards don't matter. There is something for being 5th in the league in points given up, but there's only so complimentary you can be to a defense that's in the bottom half of the league in passing and rushing defense. That means teams were moving the ball on you at will.I want a defense that smother's teams, demorilizes them, chokes 'em out. I want the other team's QB walking off the field with his head down knowing he can't run or pass on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2000 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I felt like the defense was overrated all season and would be exploited in the Playoffs. I thought it would be Rodgers doing it though. We held teams to field goals all season and forced some TOs in the Redzone. I thought a guy like Rodgers would exploit that and get touchdowns out of it.I didn't expect 2 rookies basically to do it, but we just put too much emphasis on the read option, and our LBs got killed in coverage. At some point say if they want to run for 10 yrds fine, but stop them from getting 25 every play. We just gave up chunks of yards to the Niners and Seahawks.

dudouble Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We were a decent defense in the regular season. Caused alot of turnovers. In the postseason we caused 2 and turned it over 4 times. Our defense in the playoffs looked like the saints defense during the regular season. Guys were wide open all game. Horrible play by the defense overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice5303 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That points allowed is pretty much based on turnovers and sacks, and when you don't get many in the playoffs, you won't do goodSo basically we did terrible in sacks...AGAIN, and depended way too much on turnovers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just gave up chunks of yards to the Niners and Seahawks.If you dont respect the read option you end up looking like the Pack did the week before...If you told me going in that Kaep would have the total yards he had and one TD i would feel pretty good about our chances to win that game...frankly we played 2 teams that were more talented than us this season in the playoffs and we beat one of them and gave the other all they could handle...another draft and a free agent at some point and we will be in good shape moving forward...the playoff win and championship game appearence will help us in the free agent market I hope.
