IN the what we’ve(or I’ve) been saying all year column:
Bates sucks; Ruud was targeted in Bates’ system as the only one to stop; Rah is over matched as Head coach yet maybe not as what he was hired for: Def coordinator; with Freeman there’s at least: HOPE; with a little bit of money spent for depth and competitiveness we could be a .500 team for now; and last but not least: does Derrick Ward cringe when he picks up his paycheck on Mondays? (if Alex Rodriguez makes $44,000 an at bat, Ward must be making about $70,000 a yard)

Raheem isn’t ruined. I agree with you that he will be a good DC Louie, but he’s not a beaten man. Not at all.
I personally loved watching the defense, and while I think we’d have definitely lost against the Saints last week, we’d have given them a whole lot more trouble than they got, which was none.
We showed good progress. It hurts to lose like that, but we are definitely better with Raheem’s D.

Morris will be a good DC. Today pretty much proved that. They should have kept to that plan because he’s not ready to be a HC. Too bad the Glazers ruined him by pushing him prematurely into that role.

Wait a couple weeks down the road, when teams are able to put together a gameplan considering Raheem’s play-calling tendencies on defense, then make a decision.

Are you serious? This had to be one of the most beat-up and injured teams we have faced all year. We have a new DC that the Falcons don’t know anything about to prepare for and to top it all off, they were playing from behind early in the game. Chris Redman, dude..

The only nice thing I saw, was Ruud got into the backfield for the first time all year and some other TFL’s. But this was against 3rd string linemen!

I said it before, put the team that showed up today, against the Saints last week and you get the same result.

Take off the rose-colored glasses, Joe. They don’t do you any justice.

I will always contend that fireing Chucky was mistake #1 to this downhill slide.
