Rumor????

I'd believe it.  Andy knows this is the biggest chance he has at winning his first SB since McNabb was in his prime and Jim Johnson was still roaming the sidelines.

Loyalty to werthers doesn't get you Lombardi's

I can sure believe it.  Todays defense was not a Sutton product.

Yes they played well and play better at home. Lets not forget...it was the FAIDERS.

The run defense still was. Let's not get it twisted. Opportunistic, however I think players were positioned better overall.

They had 81 yards rushing in the first half and finished with what? 108 total? I know they were behind but they did not abandon the run and we seem to di better overall. Still need to clean up the missed tackles though and it can get better

I can see it being true, especially with the fact Lucas and Ward played a lot

From a schematic perspective this game seemed no different from any other.  We saw plays from guys like Ragland and Sorensen, both of which have been whipping boys this year.  We did seem much better at the safety position without Parker as well.  That said, let’s be honest here, the raiders are bad, and offensively today they played worse than bad.  Dirty Dan’s pick 6 is a play that’s barely acceptable from an offensive standpoint in week 1 and beyond ridiculous in the final week.  They had receivers quitting on routes, miscommunications galore and a bundle of turnovers.  To say this game was some magic result of Sutton being stripped of duties is a stretch to say the least.  I don’t think Sutton is good, but I think people hold such contempt for him that they’re looking for anything that can valid the contempt.  To say the performance against a bad raiders team is some kind of a barometer is insanity imo.

Hopefully playoff teams will employ the seldom used Jared Cook strategy of giving up on their routes waaaaay too early against us.

let’s hope the rumour is true. anything to help because there’s only two games left before super bowl and if want to get there this d needs to step up. 

i also hope reid runs the ball more. i hate seeing our d out there so damn much

Sorry guys .....it was the Raiders. They suck on offense.

If theres any truth to the rumor it would be a further sign that Reid is losing trust in Werthers.

Mmmm yes, more time to suck back on my hard candies.  Hmmm, I wouldn't rush anymore than 3.

I'm not sure I saw that much of a scheme difference.  The most frustrating parts of this defense - playing 10 yards off WRs and bad run defense - were still present.

However, our defense overall is a completely different thing at home vs. on the road.  Just look at points allowed - 18.3 per game at home vs. 34.3 per game on the road.  And that 18.3 drops to 16.5 if you take away the half-quarter collapse against the Chargers.  Far more turnovers at home.  Some of this is quality of competition but some of it is not.  I think we have a chance to do damage at home.

I also like what I'm seeing from Ward.  For only his second game of significant action, when he's not asked to play off he sticks with guys and has his head on a swivel.  I think he can develop into a piece (2nd or 3rd CB) for sure.
