NFL sends out memo to teams...defenses give up a lot of points this weekend

**Real Deal Steel** · 10-25-2010, 11:22 PM

After Goodall sent out his orders around the league, if you look, the teams that play a physical brand of defense..ALL GAVE UP A BUNCH OF POINTS ON SUNDAY!

We gave up way to many points to a weak Dolphins team. And Harrison has said he was out their thinking instead of reacting.

Look ath the Ravens..all those points to the Bills???

Look at the Bengals....the Falcons are a decent team but 39 points?? Sorry but it's more the a coincidence that three physical defensive teams all gave up more points then usual.

And I bet the Jets give up quite a few to the Packers this coming Sunday. Don't get me wrong, the Packers should be in the 20's in this game. But if we see the Packers put up 35 plus on the Jets, then it is clear to me that this is the clear effect of Goodall's bull$hit mandate.

I also saw a few replays where it was blatantly clear the defender let up instead of giving the big hit....
The one I remember was a Ratbird player.

Sad but true...

Yeah, they just said on MNF not too long ago, that this week was the highest scoring week since like '83.

Not a coincidence to me.

BUT Romo and Favre are hurt so we are gonna need some more rules. How about a Halo around the QB. To penetrate the halo you must notify the QB and then count to 20 in a Mississippi style. If you do not follow the rules you will be suspended for a minimum of 4 games. Also the Defense will now play with 8 players and the offense will play with 17 players, this is to make games more competitive and we at the NFL feel that scoring will not increase much. We have also made the field 70 yards long, this will make the game more exciting. In addition once a running back has broken through the initial defensive line he is not to be touched. This will make the game more exciting and we do not feel it hurts the integrity of the game. All plays will now be reviewed at least twice so we can make sure everything is fair.

okay, what's up with such bad defenses this season, were giving up 299 yards a game and we are 4TH :OOOOOOO.

I know the league is evolving into passing offense, and you usually get more yards per pass than rush, so is the great defenses over?

I bet in 2 years the #1 ranked defnse will at least be 280 yards per game.... and 4.5 yards per play.... compare that to the steelers 2008 defense of 230 yards per game and 3.9 yards per play.

Will we not see another 230 yards per game effort by the Steelers again? I know that was a legendary defense but still it hurts to see Colt McCoy to throw 280 yards on us

I prefer seeing much less yardage than points....

I'd like to see much less of everything--yardage and points. I have been trying to figure it out as well as I was unimpressed with out pass D even more than I was last week. The only thing I can figure is that either my expectations are too high (entirely possible) or 28 other teams defenses are a lot worse than I gave them credit.
