For the most part, we shut down the best offense in the league and an offense with a myriad of weapons.  Davis essentially nullified DT, Butler nullified Welker, other than his trip, Toler took care of Decker.  Landy was like a bullet, rushing in from the secondary.  And Bethea was his usual, consistent, reliable self.

How many yards did they end up giving up? and they allowed 33 points. They played clutch, but Davis was the one with the good game only. imo

Butler kept Welker locked down most of the game, he did most of his damage when Butler was out of the game hurt.  Butler and Davis both played a heck of a game.

2 players a secondary do not make unfortunately. I agree, they both were outstanding. I'm wondering at what point does Toler get put as the nickel. Or will we keep it the same for consistency.

Secondary has held up well through seven games.  Rivers got them pretty good and Peyton Manning is going to get some yards even if you have the three greatest cornerbacks of all time back there.  I do agree that Toler is weak link and we saw that early Manning went right after him but then he got hurt.  Vaughn and Gordy did a great job filling in for him because you didn't hear from their guy that much.  Bethea had a rough start but came on.  Landry was Landry.  All and all I thought the secondary held up well.  Some of those catches and passes were what makes Manning maybe the greatest QB in the history of the NFL and why Tom Brady probably swears every time he sees Welker play.  They get paid too.

Butler vs. Davis was the key to the game,.,..he got away with a little holding but Seattle does,too

..He's a lot better than I even hoped

We seem last night what a pass rush does for a secondary. We have Davis who is a great addition and Landry is a great player and we all know what Bethea brings now we have to figure out does Butler fill the bill for a solid option at the other corner spot and Toler, what is this guys role for the team, he clearly is being picked on and not meeting the challenge on most tests but he has talent. Is it best used in the slot and can our coaches find it?

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.

      But you haven't learned the narrative this forum has been trying to tell you.   Frank Reich pounded his fists for Wentz, Ryan, Pryor, and all of the WRs that busted.   OTOH, Pagano never pounded his fist for TJ Green, or Bjoern Werner, or Trent Richardson, or that little small school cornerback that got canned before the season even started.     You see, the GM is only responsible for the bad players when it helps support the previous statements that the GM is bad, and the HC is responsible for the bad players when it helps support previous statement's that the GM is a genius.   You should know this by now and be falling in line accordingly.
