Sparano lost me with the third paragraph saying,
"There was very little real pressure"refering to the Atlanta defense against Pennington.

Pennington passed for 33 attempts
4 sacks
13 hurries
6 knockdowns

23 out of 33 plays were real pressure OVER 70%

and there was very little real pressure

MY GOD...NOW I KNOW ONE OF THE PROBLEMS

In the case of the atlanta game, anyone who thinks we lost because we turned the ball over 4 times, is just giving the team an excuse for playing badly. Their defense forced those turnovers and deserved them. That team beat us strait up.

I like Sparano but I stopped wasting my time reading his pressers or interviews.....

He never really says anything but the obvious

They sure did out hit us. We use the mantra: out-hit, out hustle, and out-focus for our team where I coach. It's not often where you do those things and still lose.

Atlanta defiantely out hit us in a big way.

On DE Phillip Merling's performance) - "Yeah, it's what we talked about, I mean, he played 30 plays. I told you guys when he plays those kind of plays – it's not always the prettiest plays with Phil - but his byline is always good. He was really active yesterday, made a lot of plays, got around the football a bunch, hit the quarterback two, three times. You know, got a sack, and I think those are the kind of things, when you put a player out there for 30 plays like that, that's what you expect. Somebody asked me last week about his growth, and that's what I see. I see more - when this guy goes in the football game, he's becoming more and more consistent with the amount of plays that he makes."

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Well i agree we got beat all over but the 4 turnovers killed us.

While they played good D and created those turnovers if we were more vigilant mentally protecting the ball (which ya do against constant pressure) maybe they dont happen. The turnovers themselves were not the only problem the issue is that we allowed them to create turnovers which does make us lose and show the world we played badly.
