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..

    • He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line 
    • The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.
    • Even if he had just a two week window of incredible play, it would open up people eyes to what the offense would look like with a different QB than what we've been fielding for the last couple years. No one is saying White should or could be a long term solution, just a different perspective on what the offense could look like, and if it hypothetically did happen it would put major pressure on the situation that they've been half-assing
