Quit Whining About The Defense, They've Been Bad For A While


Recommended Posts

we put up 37 on a bad New Orleans defense and 56 on a team prone to blowouts in the Bucs

aside from those two games, we're averaging 18 ppg. Even WITH those two games, we're only averaging 27 ppg, which, when your defense is as bad as ours, simply is not enough.

Naw, I will stick to what matters. The Oline and defense. Not wasting my time on the little stuff.

Yeah, bro, the OL sucks and the defense is, for all practical purposes, defenseless, but look at all the dropped passes. Overall, as a team, these guys are playing like they're lost in space. Yeah, I know, we need to priortize the salvage operation. tongue.png

Fixing the oline and the defense sounds so easy, but so hard for this regime to accomplish. I would love to see a great football mind do magic with this team. I know it can be done.

What I saw against the Bears was more than just the Oline and defense.

It was attitude, effort and heart. More specifically the lack of it.

If anyone has any question on whether or not the Falcons are soft... this game is the definitive answer.

And the scary part is it's not just the back-ups or lower roster guys. It's Roddy and Julio... our 'star WRs.'

What makes it worse is they were at home. I was promised by the optimistic crowd that they were a different beast at home. I was lied to

Overpaying for an under achieving offense. 3 points at the half? 3....AT HOME. sadwave.001.gif

Good point, can't argue with you at all. Just when I think I have it down which is worse between the offense and defense, the other comes out the next week and makes me change my mind. They both put on quite a suckfest this week.

Have we forgot have terrible Dirk was? When you run the ball only 13 times the entire game, you are asking for a loss. I don't care if most of your passes are successful. Eventually, the defense will stop you. We were down by no more than 13 the entire game. Plenty of time on the clock. A predictable offense will lose every game.

Can't believe I am saying this but Mularkey > Koetter.

Hard to get into a rhythm on offense when your sitting on the sideline all the time, because the D cannot get off the field.

It's a double-edged sword....with the offense going 3 and out so much....they force a terrible defense right back on the field...LOL...when you score 3 pts in 1 half, you've set your defense up for failure after failure...etc.
