    Carolina is #1 in rushing offense, so that is how they have been winning games on O. This is the match up that we would need to win.

    NFL run D rankings:

    week 1 - Jags (7th)
    week 2 - Texans (27th)
    week 3 - NO (25th)
    week 4 - TB (15th)
    week 5 - SEA (9th)
    week 6 - Phi (21st)
    week 7 - Colts (23rd)
    week 8 - GB (28th)

    average run D ranking - 20.6

    Titans run D ranking - 17th

    basically, if we want to win this game, we have to shut down the run. Its not so much about "sacking" Cam, its about not letting him pickup 1st downs with his legs.

    His passing hasn't been all that great this year. He is only completing 53.7% of his passes right now. And his QBR is a 50.7

    We need to sell out to stop the run in this game. Don't let Cam run. Force him to beat us with his arm (since he has been struggling with that all year)

    Orakpo began his career as a 4-3 end and fits that position perfectly. 3-4 or 4-3 doesn't matter the differences are subtle and there is hardly any god player in one system that has not been a good player in the other.

    Not angry just frustrated with retarded fans who think up reasons to want us to lose. Even if Sean Payton was fired(He won't be) we would not necessarily get him since other teams will try to get him.

    When Murlarkey was coaching in Buffalo they started out 0-4. Then they went on a 9-2 run. So the guy has faced adversity and knows how to turn things around. It gives you some hope that he can do the same and get this team to finish strong.

    The only reason I said that is because Orakpo said one of the main reasons he came here is because he fit the 3-4, OLB position in the LeBeau defense so well.

    I mainly like him because he does the obvious thing. Unlike Whiz he knows when to scrap something and when to press it. Whiz abandoned a play after 2 or 3 calls successful or not, Mularkey/Michael seem to know just when to move on and when to come back to something..

    I also am happy to see Mulakey/Michael (IDK who to credit for this) dont let Joe Looney be much of a factor in the run game, we only ran behind him twice, under Whiz we allowed such weaknesses like Poutasi to get exploited nearly a dozen times.. The new combo of MM and JM is wise to either run right or wide left... Whiz was handicapping us, people where right, anyone would have been better than Whiz..

    In your haste of hatred, you missed my point. I WANT us to win games. I QUESTION if going to the playoffs would actually benefit the franchise in the long term (arguably the more important of timelines), and I FEAR what wins for Malurkey will do to our FO's decision making.

    That's all man. Now go back to punching your keyboard because anonymous people on the internetz are getting under your fragile skin.

    But ya know, Roll Tide 'Bama!

    FiveThirtyEight says we have a 19% chance of winning this week, but they also said we had a 17% chance last week, so what do they know lol
