Prevent defense thread

playing prevent defense allowed Luck to drive 86 yards in 3:40 and 57 yards in 2:14. i get dropping the safeties back to avoid getting burnt but with Luck's inaccuracy and our inability to get a pass rush in the final 7 minutes of the game, we really should have continued playing as we had before, where we limited Luck to only 50 yards through most of the game.

Man y'all are some whiny fools.  Did everyone jus forget the bogus ass hold that prevented us from milking the clock?  We don't get the hold we run the clock out.  Also where did you see a prevent defense did we watch the same game? Jus because we are in zone coverage doesn't mean prevent.  We are a zone team, and it relies on pressure from the dline. When there is pressure the zone defense thrives when there is none, it can be picked apart.  When Sean D realized the dline was gassed he sent blitzes and they affected luck just enough.  A win is win stop fuggin whining we are 7-0 for god sake and just won against a better than their record colts team.

Shulaball when there's 2:30 left in the game. Colts have 2 time outs and the 2 minute warning.  Time to play not to lose. Run up the middle, run up the middle, throw, punt.  Ef Mike Shula's conservative ass and his "prevent loss offense".

It worked perfectly minus a phantom flag.

 

Hell, so did the defense for that matter.  It took a blatant offensive pass interference handing them a TD and a clear incomplete pass called a catch on 4th down and then upheld under review to drag that game into OT.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
