Yet we couldn't even score 35 on a lion's team who was missing there top WR. Is this a coaching or a players problem? 

I honestly believe it’s more of an execution probably. Look at how man times we whiffed tackles. Had the RB behind the line of scrimmage only to try a weak arm tackle. Those drops from Funchess were big. Killed our momentum. Poor Clark was getting thrown around a few times didn’t help. We just need to be more disciplined. I thought our secondary played solid. That TD was just an amazing catch over Bradbury. Only thing I blame of coaching is not challenging that play on the sideline were Bradbury almost picked it

Teams will adjust and defenses will return, Jax proved it with the Steelers, lost in the end but it was a close low score game.

Actually I think the Steelers have a better chance than these 2 teams, they are more complete. They can explode but can play old school too.

their defense is far better than the Chiefs and Rams— their defenses displayed just how much they suck,.. and that’s a weakness in the playoffs.

Atlanta showed that,.. 28-3. That’s what happens when you’re all offense and get caught in the “new school” world.

Funchess can't drop the ball five times if he's planted on the pine after the second or third one.

Talent and firepower are there for us offensively, OL is ultimately holding us back.

Yeah, the Saints have the best line in football, the Rams are top 5, and the Cheifs arent far behind. An Oline and those weapons, no wonder they're so good. Imagine what Cam would do on the Rams.

This is what the NFL wants, they don't want a 7-6 defensive battle, they want 70-69 air raids. Say what you will about defenses adjusting, but I fully believe the NFL will tilt holding in favor of offense during the game to get what they want.

It would be nice if they could reach a happy medium.  7-6 games are boring, but imo so are games like last night.  I  prefer games with equal elements of great offense and defense.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
