The first 8 games:

Total yards: 2355 Pass 1556 Rush 799 3rd% 36.9

The last 7 games:

Total yards: 2550 Pass 1487 Rush 1063 3rd% 41.5

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. And the defense is not finishing well. I can't believe that the defense will be the downfall of this team. Now we have to go into New Orleans, the #1 offense in the league. I hope something changes quickly. Because right now I don't have a good feeling about how this great season will end. Convince me I just have a bad case of indigestion...:confused:

Defensive stats are a bit weird to follow. Look at Tampa right now, their defense has suddenly collapsed. I think our defensive issues stem from bad decision-making and the many missed INTs, as well as a lack of pass rushing from time to time. But overall I still think we can shut down anyone in any given game.

we should be fine next week. passing teams right now scare me less. yes the secondary sucks at times, but we are getting run over game in game out. take out todays performance and its still 700+ in 6 games, not good at all. luckily the saints dont run well, as payton is pass hapy. if its a ballanced attack, we may have seen this team on the road here out.

I have to admit that Brees going against the likes of Lucas and Godfrey right now makes me nervous.

I still can't figure out what's happened to Lucas.

It has less to do with Lucas and more to do with lack of pass rush. He was never a great CB.

I agree that stats don't tell the whole story. But the change from the first 8 games to the last 7 make me a little nervous going into NO and then into the playoffs.

Here are the stats from the first game, when our defense was playing better,

New Orleans ty343 p228 r115 fd17 41.7%

and now their offense is playing a lot better than it was then.

      Draft Taylen Green

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
