Same ****, Different Year

He knew we had a shot at the postseason this year with the weak NFC South.

Offense shi* the bed for the last two months. Meanwhile, even though we have a bunch of toddlers playing defense, they still have kept us in games for the last month and a half. Most points they allowed since beginning of November was 25 points to the Panthers and even that game we had a shot at the end before the offense screwed up and turned it over on our own side of the field and setup an easy field for the Panthers for a field goal.

If you don't count that, the most the defense since November has allowed was 24 points to the Bears. Since the Bears game, the defense has allowed 19, 19, 21, and 17 points. For all the talk of lack of talent on this team, the defense has sure done it's job since November and given us a chance. 

The offense has not and I think Grady is frustrated at that.

You knew what you were signing up for Grady 😂

Grady had to say something but he knows FA's aren't coming until 2023, knowledgeable fans knew not to expect a lot this year. I remember saying, sit back and enjoy the ride, this year means nothing. Next year I expect 10 wins or better and if that brings the playoffs then fine.

I just wish we had their philosophy in the trenches. Philly that is. Theyve always had dudes in treches both sides of the ball.

This is not a shot at Grady, he’s great. 
 

So don’t freak. 
 

But don’t say the offense let the defense down when we allow more points against. This is equal opportunity suck. There’s maybe 9 players on our 53 who could honestly start in the XFL and 2 of them are kickers.  
 

If Grady wants to be mad after game 15 he needs to handle that in the locker room.  A lot of our practice squad and FCS rejects could use a punch in the mouth from our big DT.

I thought he was hurt. There were several plays where he wasn’t on the field. Some of which were third downs. Maybe he was winded. 

Since TQ got hurt, he's been less effective. The lack of talent on D is real. Grady is tired of it. Need two impact guys on the DL and one impact LB.

Do your job, TF. Get this defense right. We're all very tired of the same ish every year like Grady is.

Um....both Philly and Dallas both gave up over 450 yards of Offense....Dallas gave up 34 points and Philly gave up 40........not exactly sure of the point your trying to make

We lost Goldman to retirement and Vincent Taylor to IR on top of TQ. But yeah we need upgrades but we did have better guys here (for their price) at the beginning of the year.

The funny thing is when we say it here we get ridiculed by other posters. Maybe expectations should be above zero :shrug:

Folks around here are real weird about that, huh? 

Praise the players or people in the media for trashing this garbage team but say it without a link to a video and everyone freaks.

Fans can say "wait til next year" because we can be fans for as long as we are alive.

Players, otoh, don't have years to waste. Grady understands that the end of his career is closer than the beginning and his frustration is reasonable. OC for a HC, new regime uses its 1st round picks on receivers and the Offense struggles to reach double digits for the last two months.

I'm just trying to point out flaws we need to improve at and disturbing trends but people still bury their heads in the sand. 

When we win, the coaches are praised for the timely calls, gameplan, playing to players' strengths, etc.

When we lose, it's "wE dIdN't ExEcuTe. LeT's bLAmE tHe pLaYerS".

These things are not mutually exclusive. Both can be reasons for wins and losses. I wish people would wake up and not just say I quit by saying "oh we have a bunch of money this offseason, we'll just sign everybody and be better". Yes, assuming TF signs the right guys, we will improve. But you can't ignore coaching flaws and only blame the talent. Talent deserves lots of blame but lack of 20 points for the last two months is disturbing and coaching is a big part of the problem. 

The Texans nearly beat the Cowboys and Chiefs recently and have scored more points than us the last three weeks and they are attrocious.

Interesting. Both Total Offense, AND Total Defense.... are bottom 5 in the NFL. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/defense

So how can anyone point fingers ?? From game to game take turns, sucking... on Offense the "scapegoat" was Mariota. Blame QB for everything... But who gets benched on Defense, then ? I'd agree with Grady - a Defensive End is our #1 Need in this year's Draft.  🤨  But do ya hear, a few idiots yelling "Draft a QB" after Smith has blinked now and fired the veteran QB ? 🎅
