I knew they were executing at a high level on 3rd down but damn this is impressive.

No doubt.   I remember having teams in 3rd and long and knowing it didn't matter, they were likely going to give up the 1st down.

That was miserable.  Then again, I remember when we had Moss and Culpepper and we were in third and long and it didn't really matter. We were probably going to get it.

I don't care who you are, this is impressive.  My impression is that the D has gotten gradually better as the season has gone on.  Is that possible?

I think so, other than the Carolina game perhaps.  I think everyone is buying into the unselfish team concept and Zimmer's game plans.

Waynes had definitely gotten better over the season and I don't think anyone has dropped off.
