Gunther's "effectiveness" in 2005... 25th ranked defense and 30th ranked pass defense. Al Saunders in 2005... #1 ranked offense That's why there tends to be more positive feelings towards Al Saunders, genius. |

yeah, those 90's defenses really sucked. I know he had DT and NSmith, but we have talent here too. I want to see what happens when Grandpa isn't screwing everything up, and the focus of the team isn't totally on the offense.

It may be a little different then taking over a D that already had quality players like DT, James Hasty, and the others. Gun took over a rock bottom D this time around so perhaps his chances of improving in back to back years is a little better. What were the rankings of the D in Guns good years? High enough I wager that improving it would have been pretty tough to do. I don't really remember but wasn't one of those Ds the #1 ranked D in the league? Since we were 25th in 2005 I have a hunch that Gun will see his second straight year of defensive improvement. PhilFree ![]()

I'll un-spin your argument now... New England... No Corey Dillon or Kevin Faulk Denver... Chiefs defense was shredded most of the game. I wouldn't call a 31-27 game a great defensive effort Dallas... defense was ripped apart by a crappy offense (and I don't care what Dallas' statistical rank is, see what their offense did against Washington and in the final game against a horrible Lambs defense) NY Giants... Tiki Barber toyed with the Chiefs defense San Diego... only legit good defensive effort in your list of teams Cincy... played Kitna most of the game |

Cinci quit in that game after Kitna came in. They quit the next week to against Pitt. (By the way, Marvin Lewis is supposed to be a genius. Cinci's D is horrible and they win with O. Marvin Lewis = overrated.) |

And id bet ANYONE watching those games had ZERO confidence that a Gunther Cunningham defense would or COULD step up.

I think the New England and Denver games were among our better D efforts. New England didn't have a running game, no, but this is the same team that won two Super Bowl titles without a running game, and it was really their only blemish in a streak where they were killing everybody.
And Denver's a damn good offensive team. I seem to have way more respect for Denver than most people that follow the NFL though. I think that's why Gonzo picked them to win yesterday, he's actually played against them. That team is like two plays from being a 15-1 team... and they have shredded people all year. But that 2nd game, Shanahan had to pull every trick play in the book to beat us, and he still couldn't do it. We made all the key plays and stopped them in the 4th quarter, and beat them down physically. |

Gun should be embarrassed to be in the presence of Al Saunders.

How many top 10 offenses did we play vs. IND?
Do you think they would have been so highly ranked if we switched schedules?
