I think you agree with me more than you realize. Read the rest of my post, we made essentially the same point.


I will say though, that we might recall a certain game against the 49ers in the preseason of 2011 where our defense looked exactly like it did last night, only to come back down to reality during the regular season.

Not trying to piss in the cheerios, just saying we should be *cautiously* optimistic. If they look the same against the Texans...put the champagne on ice because Lombardi # 2 is on the way.

What? we went 13-3 in 2011...our regular season D was ranked in the top 5 for total D in the league.

It was simply a fluke season in that we ended up with the 3rd seed in conference.

One of those losses was the Browns or Rams or both...(due to mass consumption of alcohol on those nights i cant remember if that was the same season) those were losses due to the offensive line...

if your talking about the final drive against the 49ers I can agree they choked in the clutch but also refer to turnovers on the road i think we had 4. to even be in that game much less winning in the 4th was quite the accomplishment.

All I am saying is I will take a top 15 unit with this bunch all day much less a top 5 with Vacarro in coverage to tackle Vernon.
