It may not happen quickly, but it's the only way to go about things. Have to focus on the defense. Continuing to try to fix this o line should be a secondary focus, but there isn't much else to do as far as working on the offense.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) Theres no fix to the D that wont take years. Either go all out offense and just get into scoreboard wars or enjoy a few years in the cellar. I like Trestman a lot, like a lot a lot, so I'd like to see them stay competitive so he keeps his job. Making the defense average doesn't need to take long at all. Young players improve, bring in a big name vet or two, draft a good player or two, fill in with solid cheap vets. A few strategic acquisitions is all you need for an offense this good. You have to have some money for it, though

Both interior d-linemen have been very bad, but especially the non-Wootton position. If you can get Ratliff on the field with Wottoon, you're looking at two players that will at least be worth blocking

I hate this team. Should note that fair refereeing might have yielded us a win here though

I'm ready for Ratliff

This game is the embodiment of why you might need to let Cutler go. The offense with McCown and all this talent will score enough, but no offense can score enough to deal with this defense

That one is more understandable IMO because live it looked like an obvious helmet leading to the other player's helmet/neck area

Now we're finally even for the touchdown the refs stole from us

When I saw it live it looked like he clearly led with his head

Helmet to helmet hit, has to be

Roughing the passer

Had to even things out eventually

This has the makings of a close loss

We have the worst offensive lineman in football with no shoe on and we run right to his side

I'm sure they'll pick this one up

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 02:49 PM) come on guys he grabbed his jersey on the shoulder, that wasn't a horsecollar. That play was a horescollar against Zack Bowman last week

Hope everyone enjoys a big dose of Michael Bush

I don't want to live in this world anymore

Forte's leg looked f***ed up NO HORSECOLLAR TACKLE f*** YOU

This is so f***ing bad. Missing one call is one thing, even on an important play. Consistently missing calls to our peril is making it so difficult to watch

Show me a replay you cowards!

This game has to be fixed. For f***'s sake

We talk a lot about our pass rush, but our run defense is a far bigger problem

That's good analysis there as Rosario is the one who dicked that play up
