The D was beasting today. I'll defer to BA's judgement, he knows, but for me the most comfortable game of the year was today. It was domination. I saw some things today scheme-wise that impressed me a lot. I'm really hopeful Bettcher has been keeping schemes like today in his back pocket, because I was incredibly impressed with the domination.
I don't even care about GB's lack of offensive line or lack of receivers, not one bit, they're a playoff team regardless and we stomped them.
I think it's about time we gave Bettcher his due. Horton's D had a learning curve of several games, really more like half a year. There were times Bowles D was ridiculed, people called him Bowels on here. Bettcher hasn't had any of those issues, and he's working with less talent in the front 7 by far. At some point we have to acknowledge he's talented as a D coordinator and that BA knows how to choose guys and promote from within the guys he chooses.
(Wife said something to me today which made me think, when on TV they were talking about all the old fossils BA brought in. I was making jokes and she said, "He brought them in to move the franchise forward, to teach all the young guys (coordinators) he has, so that we'll be good for a long time, even after he leaves." I paraphrase, but that was the gist of it)
