Wow.....not even touched. Hey but they stopped them in the first quarter and with the help of half time held them to 3 in the 2nd.

Which is 18 points they didn't give up.

Wait, the first half doesn't matter. That's why we lost to the Redskins and Rams (in week 17) this year. All those first half stops don't count if you give up points in the second half.

We're gonna have to play two deep safeties pretty much the whole game. The two guys I'm most concerned about are Sproles and Graham. Have to bring the pressure and force some 3rd & longs.

Unreal.

Of course forcing a punt is a GREAT strategy, but it's hardly viable.

And those stops happened. Detroit didn't score off them. That's not the defense's fault.

But to imply they don't matter. . . since they haven't gotten stops lately, aren't those stops very important? I'd rather be down 3 than 17.

Look dude....I've been traveling all week so I'm not in the mood to debate. I know it's your passion in life, but it's not mine.

Per the definition (having a reasonable chance of succeeding), stopping a team from getting a first down is a viable strategy but it's not always successful. It's more probable to stop a team than force a turnover, in my opinion.

The point about "lately" relates to the fact you can't rely on turnovers. You have to stop your opponent other ways. It's great they got turnovers, but they haven't stopped them any other way....hell they've dropped at least two other ints so they can't even rely on that at this point.

The only thing I blame Detroit's D for is missing tackles, dropping INTs, and giving Brees all day to throw.

So I can avoid another reply. You're right, you're always right.

So it's not viable to get turnovers every time, but forcing a 3 and out every time is (not allow a first down)?
