Not everyone has a stellar QB in the Manning, Brees, Warner (on his good bi-polar days of playing) Favre or Rothlisberger. . .but when we play those QBs they will ALWAYS tear us a new one and we have to rely on scoring 40+ points to win those games and as we saw last night it still wasn't enough.If we can fix the 3-4 defense and adjust to the spread offenses. . .then we will be a scary team that people will assume they'll lose too.  I think we got close to that in the 2nd half of the season but with Minnesota and Pitt exposing our weakness, all we could hope for against any of the NFC playoff teams is that their QB has an off night. I personally don't like hoping for that, I like having confidence that we can stop them more than they stop us.</blockquote>
