Prevent Mode: Dear Ron Rivera...

Honestly they have been blitzing the poo out of teams the last two weeks....we aren't all that great at it but it has worked pretty well on occasion.

It honestly does look like they are getting tired even when we win the ToP battle...doods need to run more.

When I say "Prevent Mode" I'm not talking about the defensive side of the ball. When your whole approach to offense changes from what's working just because you're ahead, you stop pounding. 

Dude.....we didn't play any semblance of "prevent" today.

none what so ever.

We changed our approach because they changed their approach.  It would have been dumb to not do so.  We started blitzing more because our defensive line started having trouble getting to Rogers.  We were being extremely aggressive, perhaps to much so.   We were playing with more db's, but you  have to do that when the offense is throwing on virtually every down.

Yea, I wouldn't say we went into prevent mode. In fact, I don't think we did really.

What happened, was because of our defense's inability to stop the Packers...not even making the Packers have long drives and burn clock/TOs, or offense was suddenly put in a position that if felt it NEEDED to score or at least move the ball.

That is not our team. We were BUILT on defense. It is up to that UNIT to not put our offense in bad spots where they feel as though they HAVE to score because you can't get off the field.

Given our lack of talent on offense...that is asking way too much of them. Our "elite" defense should be able to hold 23 point 4th quarter leads without the offense feeling threatened.

...Just seems when we have to put our foot on someones neck we let up at the most inopportune time..A missed first down here and there at the wrong time swings sht to the wrong side of town..we thumped their azz and it was a nail biter..drives me crazy. hell of a win on a short week..

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
