If our defense doesn't really ramp up the pressure and put QB's on the ground, guys like Freeman, Rodgers and Rivers will eat our secondary alive. Actually, ditto Hasselbeck, who lit up 'Zona yesterday and who has been tough on us in the past. So, that's four games we could lose...we might win half of them, but that's best case scenario.

Our offense is on the right track...but the penalties have to go, or we'll continue to try and rally to win games. Playing against the four teams mentioned above, falling behind can be deadly. If we can get ahead of those teams, our guys have to learn how to put them away...which means the mistakes have to be minimized. Singletary's still shown little to no ability to make adjustments...something you have to do against the better teams.

On ST's, if Nedney misses some time, that could also be a factor. He's been pretty much money with his kicks. Ginn's a punk...is content to fair catch punts and takes every opportunity to run out of bounds when he does return them.

BL...while I think most of us are encouraged with 3 wins out of the last four games, it's also true we have a number of tough games ahead of us. We're no shoe-in to win the NFC West...for sure. We have an opportunity...it remains to be seen if our guys really take advantage of it.
