Yeah, after a little while to digest things I realize I'm overreacting to a couple of bad plays by our defense. I'm still steamed giving up a first when you have them deep in their own territory on a 3rd and 12. It seems like we just do that kind of thing too often but all in all the D stepped up repeatedly today.

Rookie QB backed up against his own end zone on a 3rd and 12. What should the defense do? Play soft coverage and only bring 4 pass rushers, of course. Just ask Bill Davis!

VERY frustrating that we have a weapon like Grahm who continually gives us field position advantages and then the D let's them off the hook. If this gets corrected then we will win an extra 2 to 3 games a year.

Maybe not. They saw enough today to know they have to worry a little bit about those pesky Rams. Bradford is only going to get better. Granted he got to open up against a pretty weak Cards defense but still, he showed signs of greatness.

Until we hire a real defensive coordinator and a strong O-Line coach no one's going to have to worry about us very much. This team is really ripping me up but at least we can still make fun of 49ers fans. BTW, can you just catch Bi-Polar Disorder?

The Hags can have legitimate hope every season, right up until Hass goes down to injury.
