Regardless of last season, our current defense looks like hot garbage for a second week in a row. They can't stop anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All part of the process and meticulous plan, I'm sure. Meanwhile, demand for space in the Patrick Mahomes fear bunker is off the charts.

I'd also actually specify that we were 11th in takeaways, and that number drops quite a bit if you get rid of the meaningless ones in games we lost by a lot or when we were up by 2 scores or more. Sometimes, you win games against the Falcons because your defense makes big plays, and that can be said for every NFL team in history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we can re-litigate last season at some other point. During this game, I'd prefer to focus on something we agree on: how bad our current defense is.

Randall Flagg Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 That was a tacky call, that penalty shouldn't be a 10 yard one. Allen has been bad. Glad they got it back with the flag though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the season in which they clinched a playoff spot with 3 wins in 4 December games, yah. There's a "-est team in NFL history" for five hundred different stats through two months any given season. And again, There were literally 5 interceptions in garbage time that puffed that up, and had no impact on winning or losing. When you remove those, they were literally a regular old football team winning games in regular ways.

inkman Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just no reason to kick a FG here. Loser mentality. They should just fire McBean after the game and cut Allen.

Coach has money on the first TD of the season being a Peterman strike, we won't be seeing them go for TDs until Allen gets hurt next quarter 1 minute ago, inkman said: Just no reason to kick a FG here.

I'll look it up when I can Well it wouldn't surprise me if the offense was only 22nd, it wasn't good. I'd be curious about the defense's points per game being skewed by that three week stretch (that hurt them accordingly, all losses, it's not as if they undeservedly had those games credit towards the playoffs) where they allowed like 150 points.

When your defense is locking down the opposing offense, you win with field goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole point was they weren't a good team. I've been using hyperbole to make my point but I'll stand but what I said last season, at no point during the last 18 games, has this team resembled anything close to good. 1 minute ago, Randall Flagg said: Is this a bad time to point out that I think McDermott is the one of the most safe coaches in the NFL right now?

Randall Flagg Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Edmunds is not immune to struggles this week. Everyone else is trash today. Vikings and Packers up next ? I think our d-line is as bad as our o-line and weapons. If they want to stay at 1 and take Bosa, I won't be mad at all, considering there are supposed to be lots of OL later on. 1 minute ago, inkman said: My whole point was they weren't a good team.

Which isn't helping my chronic depression. I guess I just think they were a 6-10 win team, like many others, and for once out of 20 years, they finally got the standings luck that every other team in that group received 4 different times during that stretch. No more, no less than that. THIS team, however...this reminds me of that 2011 or 2010 season, whatever it was, that took 8 weeks for the first win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
