Our season rests on the shoulders of Lou freaking Young. Man do I pray this whole practice squad thing and battling Funchess all year has him ready to at least become serviceable.

[PhillyB]

this is the worst thing to happen since keuchly going down in week one.

What's worse?  These guys:

• 29 Drayton Florence CB
• 42 Colin Jones FS
• 38 Robert Lester SS
• 27 Quintin Mikell SS
• 21 Mike Mitchell FS
• 41 Captain Munnerlyn CB
• 24 Josh Norman CB
• 22 Josh Thomas CB
• 23 Melvin White CB

 

Or what we have on the roster now?  Mind you, Greg Hardy was on the 2013 team as well.  

And that team could actually rush the passer on a consistent basis.  

[Jmac]

Tillman hasn't been healthy for a few years now with one thing or another, should have expected it. Every team has a weakness and this is ours at this time. The best teams find ways to fight through it and win. Just be glad that we aren't in panic mode like the Bengals are......that's a playoff killer.

Call Drayton and see what he's doing.

That's kind of what I was thinking, you lose Hardy, but Josh Norman is now JNo. Luke is light years better in coverage. add Shaq, KK and Star on DL. I think we're at least as good overall with what we have. This is going to be a don't let them get behind you scheme, I'd guess. I remember in 2013, we'd give up yards, but once we got you on the short field in the red zone we were able to play our game and not allow points.

Our defense is much more mature too, I think McDermott will have to dial it back a notch in essence.  

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

we need to buckle down, dig deep, and pray that bruce arians and carson palmer are arrested for something.

they are going to rip this secondary a new asshole if we meet in january

[Arroz con Panther]

I feel as if people are going to start freaking out a little bit.  Yea, we lost Bene and we've been playing without Tillman, but this team is 13-0.  You're going to tell me that the team is worried?  I don't think so.  The guys stepping up now have been playing against undefeated starters all year long in practice.  They have the same mentality that the starters have.  Let's not forget that we also have Kurt playing lights out, a linebacker core that is probably the best in the league, and a pretty damn good defensive line.  Oh, and we still have Norman covering the other team's number 1.  

We're going to be fine.

Yup, people need to chill out, all this really means on the field in any given week is that someone new lines up opposite J-no. The rest of the defence is exactly the same.

you can say what you want about depth, but we have 6 games left to play this season. We need one corner to fill in behind a good line and with a great coverage linebacker and safety to support for this 6 games.
