Not ready to panic yet either, the Giants loss last year was far worse. I think we’ll have a better time of it versus GB next week. The D still played ok overall, but the drop off at safety with Chris Harris out was very evident.

Does Martz allow audibles? Also Khalil Bell looked like a speed bump when he was trying to block people.

Jamarcus Russell and Chris Williams looked like Fred Miller and Qasim Mitchell. Or maybe they just looked like another bad group of offensive linemen. Horrible!
Not ready to panic. Felt the same way after the Giants game last year and they were able to turn the ship around.

Glad you had a great time down there!!

And therein lay the debacle Mike. Agree with you, they were within 3 points in the third quarter. Now I’m even MORE frustrated.

It wasn’t a debacle in any sense of the word. It was clearly a failure of the offensive line. I don’t care what QB is playing. If he gets six sacks and hit as much as Cutler did on Sunday, there is no chance of succeeding.

The math is simple, Cutler gets hit over and over again he is going to get tense. He is going to force throws and make mistakes because he feels unprotected. That is NOT his fault. Every QB needs to feel confident in the pocket.

We were playing a competitive game until the middle of the 3rd. After the turnover, the defense spent far too much time on the field and the score reflected as much. We need Mike Tice to pull his head out of his ass and get that line in ORDER.
