Can enough be said in praise of this guy? He calls aggressive D all game long and it's been paying off huge.

Yeah he has a great defense and he's not afraid to let them play like a great defense all game long. I think having more pass rushers contributes to staying aggressive late, but whatever, props to the guy.

The guys have to feel good about the shutout. You know they wanted it.

Loving Quinn. Been loving him since like week three. Also, without a ferocious defense today, it could have been a very different game.
We got five interceptions and finished the game with 23 points. Our offense was putrid today and it has me concerned...

Held another team to less that 200 total gross years, and only 25 yards rushing for the entire game!!!

Bradley did a good job but Quinn is a better fit for Pete's style of play.

No. Soft. Zone.

Definitely did not see much zone coverage in this one. The pass rush was relentless all game long, and we were sending the linebackers on blitzes quite frequently.

Yes on 3rd downs and at the ends of games I no longer sit there with a sick feeling of dread lodged in the pit of my stomach the entire time. I don't miss that at all.

I'll join that cheer. The D never took it's foot off the pedal today.

I've always felt there is no need to go to a soft zone defense if you have an elite defense; that the whole philosophy behind going to soft zone was for average or poor defenses. I'll be curious to see if this trend continues, or if it was a fluke/one-time thing.
