re: Convince me that Spanuolo will do better next year.

Players fault:

If Williams blitzed to hide the players insufficiencies as suggested, then Spags is a bad DC for just letting bad players play in a bad scheme. No matter what he's trying to do. He should know the players are bad and work around it.

Offenses fault:

Our offense has been in a rut the past few weeks. But what's the excuse for Jamal Charles, RGIII, Carolina, Turner and every other running back and QB slashing this defense all year? In the last game I will say Manning had a really good game and made some great passes that weren't on the DBs. But we dropped a bunch of balls and still missed a lot of tackles and couldn't get off the field. 45 points is inexcusable!

Refs fault:

C'mon man.

Goddell's fault:

I'll actually buy this a little. No Payton to help Spags and direct everyone is probably not helping Spags or the players.




I'm not totally biased against Spags and I hope it gets fixed and yes, we need some 'real' talent upgrades on defense. And there has been some improvement, but we aren't good. We give up too many yards, too many points, can't tackle, can't pressure the QB, can't cover and can't take advantage of turnover opportunities to save our lives. It's a bad defense! Plain and simple.
