"Fairly Tough Defense?"

[GAWhoDey]

Come on, I refuse to believe that being called "fairly tough" is some great insult that would be a rallying cry for millionaire professional athletes. I'm not buying it, especially since the defense came out looking like they were playing in wet concrete for the first half. If they were so fired up over it, they wouldn't have allowed Geriatric Tom to shred them for the first 30 minutes.

Great adjustments at halftime and they did play great in second half, but I'm just not buying this narrative that Tommy gave them some great bulletin board material that motivated them to play great football, because for half the game, they did not, in fact, play very well.
