E. T. Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Need to include 2015 too if we're talking about history under Quinn. We had a huge collapse after a great start to that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I certainly hope so. In both 2016 and 2017, the defense played the first half of the season at about the same level its playing now. In both 2016 and 2017, the defense played the second half of the season at a much much higher level.....average in 2016, Top ~10 in 2017. It'd be nice to see this group bump up a bit even toward a bit below average. Playing the rest of the season at a level commensurate with a defensive DVOA rank of ~20 or so would make this team a viable playoff contender.

I agree. But also we didn't have the kind of adversity we have now. Hope you're right brother, I'll remain hopeful but it's a tough tough stretch.

Kaptain Krazy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Remaining home games: DAL, BAL, ARZ Gotta win all three. No excuses. Remaining road games: WAS, CLE, GB, NO, CAR, TB Anything better than 3-3 would be great and likely enough to make the playoffs. But until i see this Offense score points on the road anything close to how it has at home, I'm skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmodel66 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) The OP is correct, but it might be next year, when we get our players off of IR. Edited November 2, 2018 by Tmodel66 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I’m not a fan of going by other players and past years. Too many variables. I do love the optimism. I hope you’re right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me interpret: when Ryan isn't playing lights out, MVP style ball, we lose. See Pitt and Philly. And sometimes even when he is, we lose. See Cinco and NO. He hasn't played as lights out on the road. There. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our OL isn't blocking, Ryan can't play lights out, MVP style ball. When the other team has a good DL, our OL isn't blocking. The Redskins have a good DL. So when we play the Redskins .... they are a 2.5 point favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not as in depth about it in the football realm but it’s based off of the Parentho principle where the 20% percent affects the 80%. But basically the 20% in this case is Dan Quinn. He is the constant in a 2nd half ascent from the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
