At some point I would think things would have to return to the mean, so to speak. The answers are plain to see, they just need to execute it. I think they will, or at least well enough to make a run. My brain says 12-5. My heart says they win out as Patrick and the boys get it together this week and look like themselves again. |

12-5 sounds about right. They should take care of everyone left. If everything is settled going into the last game against the Donks and they don't have the bye sewed up then I could see Andy resting a few guys. That would be the Donks Super Bowl and a chance for them to break their losing streak against the "B" team.

The turnaround by this defense has been rather stark and amazing. NOBODY could have seen that coming, especially considering the historically bad play they were producing the first month of the year. But I'll absolutely take it.

It's like Spags always forgets for the first 4-6 weeks of the season that his defenses are always way better when he decides to bring pressure for some odd reason.

He's also installing new packages on a week-to-week basis. The defensive playbook now is much larger than at the beginning of the season. They've talked about it on the last couple of broadcasts.

The biggest reason was health.
Health + changing the roles of Sorensen and Jones made a massive difference. The following players had to get healthy: Jones Gay Ward Fenton Those are out top line performers right now. Adding Ingram put them over the top. Mike Hughes and Daniel Sorensen starting was too much for the pass defense to overcome with no pass rush early in the season. Once those guys were benched and they found the pass rush, everything else clicked into place.

I hope Andy threw his cold meatball sub at the person that thought that Jones at end would be a plus for this defense. |

They were always going to look much improved against the likes of WFT, Teddy Bridgewater, NYG... and of course were also fortunate to not face Rodgers or the Cowboys offense at full strength. Of course, if some of the best offenses get their shit together for the playoffs, the defensive numbers will adjust again (I wouldn't think as poorly as early season, of course) and the sky will be falling once again. |

You could say we lost to the Ravens almost completely because Jones played end.
We would ****thump those ratbirds right now.

I would also add Thornhill to the list.
He's looked like more like his old self the last 3 or 4 weeks. |

I think my favorite this year has been the fire Spags crew like dude just forgot how to coach after the last 2 years. Of course the fire Andy crew got back into the swing of things as well. You guys know who you are. |
