<![CDATA[thoughts at halftime]]>Thoughts at halftime....

First off, I predict Lumbergh will not visit the board once this week.

Why did BQ get only one drive?

BQ looked pretty sharp tonight. Could've thrown his last pass more on the money during his first drive, but Royal also could've caught it.

We still can't stop the run.

We can't get pressure on the QB.

We are fielding a defense of pussies.

DA looks f*cking AWFUL. Nearly intercepted on one play. Easily intercepted on the next. He could try being a real QB and feel some of that pressure coming.

Matt Flynn looks like more of a veteran than DA does.

Our run game looks average, but improved from last year.

Our defense misses shaun rodgers BADLY tonight. (why didn't he play?)

Just sharing a few thoughts....kinda rambling here. Add your $.02 if you'd like

Our defense is terrible. Another year of being on highlight clips for the other team? I cannot believe we gave up a TD to Donald Driver. Pathetic.

Everyone stop making excuses.

Wimbley looked really good, they started shifting the line over towad him.

Yeah, Wimbley did some good things tonight. On the 4th down play ruined by Ivy's hold, Wimbley used his shoulder duck move to get past RT Allen Barbre, then got in Rodgers' face right when he was throwing. Later on, he pushed LT Tony Moll back into Matt Flynn, flushing him out of the pocket.

However, he was stood up twice by TE Donald Lee in the run game, resulting in big gains. If he's going to play on the strongside, he needs to be able to be able to hold his ground against tight ends. Otherwise, we'll get killed in the run game.

It was really bad.

He has to read the blitz coming and do something about it. They are giving the qb that power now with the new regime. If he can't check out of it now, he's going to be throwing more jump balls up.

Dont' forget this was a defense playing the 3-4 for the FIRST TIME in live action tonight. We couldn't rush the ball and we couldn't protect the passer.

Greythan if I was so inclined I would slit someone's job. I mean come the f**k on these guys don't even know where to line up yet, and obviously we don't either - on O or D.

F * * K !

Bad pass. The fact that BE dropped the ball prior doesn't excuse Quinn's poor pass on the next play. That's a ridiculous line of thinking.

Quinn looked pretty sharp otherwise. Nice laser to Cribbs on the facemask play.

DA's play was so short its hard to draw any conclusions. The entire offensive unit was not sharp and the OLine was especially bad. Dont' forget this was a defense playing the 3-4 for the FIRST TIME in live action tonight. We couldn't rush the ball and we couldn't protect the passer. DA's was hit on three throws.

Defense didn't surprise me. Green Bay is pretty loaded on offense and this is the first live action for the defense. Was it encouraging? Nope. Am I ready to declare the defense a loss? Not yet.

Bring on the Bengals!

Who is the 4th team in that division?

It is early - but I was talking early warning for exacty what we saw tonight - no surprises with this stuff.

0 FU**ING POINTS???? Come the "F" on man, not positive plays on D or O ????

F**k this.....I better see more soon, because whatever I saw today - which sadly I expected - is not good enough for the NCAA Big Ten.

Mangini doesnt show much during the preseason, so the fact the DA sat most of the game doesn't tell me much. I think he may be protecting DA and his own hand vs MIN. Hopefully he's protecting the defense too, because they look RAC'esque.

Da was given 2 "drives" the same as quinn. The reason he sat most of the game is because he had a three and out and a pick. The plan was for evenly split reps

the BQ int shouldn't have happened, the pass before was right in BE's hands and he dropped it. then he went back to him, in which case BE was completly manhandled by the DB, BQ probably shouldn't have thrown it to him, but it was just 17 seconds left and 3rd down.

I agree. That is putting a lot of trust into Braylon Edwards to make that play, but he did it last year as well.

Could not get stream to work. Looking forward to seeing the replay of BQ's int so I can make a judgement on it. Pretty sad though when the teams best QB has a 43 QB rating. But as bad as that is it is allot better than 0.0. Plus I am assuming that DA did not move the ball either. It sounds like the team at least moved the ball with BQ.

Only one game though. Can't put too much stock into it unless you are one of the people that said the Browns would not win a game this year.

ya planet orange thats true. DA went 0-2 0 yards and an int.

INT not his fault. Watch the replay's they speak the truth.

I never said it was, but he gets the stat. He did play better going late into the second qtr and I think he has already won the starting job from Anderson. Anderson looked god awful. I thought your defense would be better but so far it's looking very bad. Mangini needs to get that problem fixed or you guys will be hard pressed to win a game this year. It is only the first preseason game though.
