That is the amazing thing about this past weekend's game: the defense really make a HUGE hump with some minor health improvements. With some of the good news we are now hearing, as well as the week after after that, I think its fair to assume we could see this defense really hit their stride in the 2nd half of the season.
That is not to say that I am happy with this team from Saturday. The offense and the FG unit have serious issues to work out. Both players and coaches share the blame and I would expect we will see a difference going forward.
Finally, I was very happy to see the offensive line stand with Ant. That means they are one cohesive team and will not let his take the fall. Teams go in one of 2 directions after a game like that. I doubt we will see this team implode.
