I'm not going to throw out numbers and stats nor bitch and moan about the players or coaches or even playcalling. But the D will get it together, this is a tough, proud group of kids. They have been the backbone of this team for years. And now they are stumbling. They will get it together, as will the coaching staff. Different players are being given time, trust them, let them do their jobs, players and coaches. As I stated I have no reason other than a feeling, but they will turn it around. None of these players or coaches are happy with how they are performing. No one wants to be thrown under the bus like the D has been. They will turn it around. Now how about we show up and let them now that we support them.

LETS GO D!!!!!!

The kids are talented, and do have a lot of skill. But, lets call a horse a horse. The defensive scheme is terrible. I dont know how much lapse is due to the move from the 3-4 to the 4-3, but we do know that we have one less speedy linebacker on the field. As for getting it together, these players are already together. They just need a better scheme. I know there are lots of opinions about Coach Mendoza, but a missed play or two in the games so far really made a difference. I believe in these kids, and will hope for improvement for the rest of the season. I'm on the bandwagon for next season anyway?, so as much as it hurts...let's see what Coach Dodge can do for the rest of this year. I know the D will give up some points, but it will be a blast watching Vizza get better each week.

GMG!!!

WOW, that took long. This post was meant as support for the entire defense, including coaches. How about for just a few days we stop bashing and just support. I'm gonna steal the slogan that everyone uses every post season becuase...well I'm just not very creative.

I Believe in the D

say it with me now

H-Town I feel your pain. (Hmmm, I can't even type H-Town without thinking of that really really really bad R&B group from the 90's...but I digress. No, really, they were bad. I mean Color Me Badd kind of bad. We're talking LFO bad. But back to the subject at hand) Med is just callin it like he sees it. The defense is bad. Not H-town bad mind you, but still pretty bad right now. It's like watching your 4 year old play soccer. He/she will probably dribble toward their own goal, maybe even score on it, and just look generally lost out there as 14 kids all chase a ball around the field in a big herd. They're your kid so you still support them telling them "good job" and "nice effort" when they come off the field but it's clearly not the way joga bonita was meant to be played. It doesn't make you a bad parent to realize this, or even to point it out to others. Likewise we're not bad fans for saying the defense is b-a-d bad right now.

You know you had "Knockin' da Boots".... just admit it.

Exactly!!! Thats a classic right there.

I know what he was saying, but I would just like to see everyone or anyone for that matter just come out and say "Yeah our D has been horrific, but they will straighten it out." Whether they believe it or not. I'm just getting tired of all the bashing of the D. No matter the topic thats what it turns to. Just asking for a little optimism here.

Lets Go D!!!

      Attendance

      If Army fans weren't at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army. The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over 28519 attendance.

      Elf blew this one

      I won't lean either way on this one. Agree the defense played a hell of a game. I don't think EM would have tried the onside kick after the FG if he knew the defense would play as it did. If I was told we would give up 14 points to ARMY, I would have metaphorically bet the house we win. But had we shortened a drive or two more giving us the ball one or two more times, maybe we have enough to win. Offense had few penalties this game it seemed. I guess that happens when you only have the ball 15 minutes. You could argue not scoring 7 points on the opening drive, plus an apparent bad call on the goal line in the 2Q, lost the game. That the offense got as close as it did against the 28th ranked pass defense, the 3rd ranked run defense, the 1st ranked scoring defense that’s only giving up 11.25 ppg, and the 5th ranked defense overall is a tribute to both the offense and the defense. We had our shots and blew most of them. GMG

      Parking

      What do you expect them to do if every spot is claimed, either by donors or sales? They can’t make the passes get used, but can you imagine if they oversold that lot and people with valid passes showed up with no spot to park in?

      You are so right about all of this…and when we see any of it change, it’ll be an awesome day. I’ve been waiting since 1990…
