The defense and offensive line are just so laughably bad.

[hepcat]

I can’t think of a team that has given up so much pressure so quickly every single passing play. 
 

And the run defense gives up 10-15 yards per rush. 
 

Not going to win any games with those problems. The season is over and this team better look very different next season.

Aren’t we glad we have a defensive head coach who took over the play calling this year? 

[t96]

Whatever people think about DG, our DL under him was consistently elite in run D and at least average in pass rush, and our OL was solid. Not surprised that when he and his hog molly philosophy left our lines turned to poo.

allen has like 2 seconds to throw with at least 2 massive bodies in his face every play. CMC is being buried at the LOS and the only way he is getting yards is when we line him up wide.

our D is a fuging sieve that can't stop poo reliably.

He trotted out arguably the worst O-line in team history in 2014. Byron Bell and Nate Chandler? Yikes.

OL Is as bad as I have seen. Someone tried to tell me the one with Bell was worse. Really because there are people here that just can't keep from disagreeing with someone.

DL, we are missing some pieces. It is bad and has been bad all year and I really don't get why we went 3-4 I guess it was for pressure.

Part of me thinks we went 3-4 just so Ron could claim he was evolving.  tepper should have fired this GM/Coach combo in the off season.  Ron got one more reprieve and this was the mechanism he came up with to save his ass one more time.   Now his resume will claim 'it takes a year to make the switch' and 'injuries'.

Folks seem to forget that he was still trying to recover from the extreme cap hell we were in at that time, and had no real money to go out and sign any big time OT free agents. So, he did the best he could with the very limited resources at his disposal.

 

Remind me again, who put us in that cap deficit to begin with? Oh yeah, the same guy who traded multiple draft picks to get a guy who can't seem to stay on the field, and when he does, is about on par (or lower) to the guy we picked up in the sixth round that same draft.

[Jus Rob]

This is the real problem to me not coaching our D and Oline! But I blame the coaches for fielding these terrible lines. We had no business being in this game our Defense was helped by over 10 penalties on the saints offense or else we would've been dogged walked 

[LinvilleGorge]

Before we commit to drafting OL in the 1st, let's remember that we only have two DTs under contract for next season and that's Short who hasn't been seen since he got paid and Poe who may have just destroyed his knee. Oh wee mayne.
