[QUOTE="gopkrs, post: 1050934, member: 9942"] I agree with what you say about the lions. Not sure I agree about our D. The line was still playing tough at the end of the game. Our problem imho was that their receivers were just too open. We were not able to cover them tight which we will have to do. We were giving them 7 and 8 yards and then they could do what they wanted to get a first down. Nobody was really taking backs out of the backfield. We were just watching them and then going to get them after the catch. But that was after a decent gain. At some point we are going to have to realize that against good teams; the bend don't break idea (and waiting for them to make a mistake) is just not good enough. But I can't say enough about how well the D line is playing the run. We have a lot of intensity there. And the linebackers are doing good in coming up for support. Now we should realize that the LBs also have to look at backs and slots going out for short passes. Not easy but I think necessary. I would think the time to do that is when they can determine it's play action. Backing up to cover an area seems to be leaving a hole earlier and they still don't really seem to be able to back up enough to be effective anyway. So play tight and have some confidence in the DBs. Starters or not. As far as peaking. I agree that this last game was not our super bowl. But we probably need to start playing like super bowl winners starting with beating the seahawks. Being young or being hurt in the secondary isn't a good enough excuse for letting the other team march down the field. We have improved immensely for not letting them churn up yards on the ground. Now we have to play the underneath pass tighter too. By the LBs looking for open receivers short when they see it's play action. Not just backing up. GoPackGo! [/QUOTE]
