[QUOTE="JTiceman, post: 1009927, member: 18034"] Major factors in the difference between winners and losers in the NFL: -[B]Aggressive Defense.[/B] Cannot allow large cushion to any WR in today's game. An average QB reads that and can hit the easy target for a nice gain (or TD in the case of the Raider game where our DB was on the goalline and reacted to the WR far away once the ball was thrown.....too late, TD was made before the play started).
