This defense has allowed 14 scoring drives longer than 60 yards all season.

That totals out to 10.8 points per game
 

 

So more than half the points given up by this defense were drives under 60 yard most of them were drives under 40 yards to be honest. This might be the best defense we have ever had, but the numbers won’t show cause this offense is that pathetic and will continue to put the defense in bad spots.

This defense with just an average or slightly below average offense (Teddy or Cam) would make for a really good team.

Yea it's a nice stack of poo that perfectly compliments and synergizes together. OL,QB,OC

They really do feed off each other they just are eating trash/poo and it circles back to perform very nicely in the wrong direction.

No lol at you

We literally just booed Teddy off the team last year. Tell me what has changed offensively to make you think it would be any different this year?

Right now I’d say they’re well below average. 

This offense isn't even below mediocre it's historically bad and it begins with the qb.

No, they are somewhere between abysmal, completely absent, and non-existent.  Below average would be an improvement.

Teddy is a way better QB than Sam and has been his entire career.  You give Teddy this defense and we have a couple more wins.

Thus Joe must go. 

His play calling has been pretty suspect, but with Sam making the same mistakes over and over, in addition to our turnstile OL, there’s only so much one man can do.

We’ve poured almost all our resources into the defense since Rhule got here and are reaping those results right now, both good and bad.  We need to do that with the offense in the offseason.  I’m willing to give Brady another year with actual, competent offensive linemen and hopefully another QB before throwing him to the wolves

No. But a competent qb would have us a winning record with this defense. If we want to compete for superbowls we need to upgrade the line as best we can and get an elite qb. Cam was an elite qb and could sometimes sneak us into the playoffs with shoddy oline olay and lack of weapons. 
 

the problem here is that many of you invested in Darnold being the guy, even after 3 games. You talked poo to others all off-season and the first three games when people were still wary of what they were seeing. When you were proven wrong that Darnold sucks you lashed out like toddlers blaming anyone else but Darnold himself. No that Darnold has gone full meltdown some of y’all are finally admitting he sucks. But with the caveat that Joe Brady sucks too lol.

I’ve maintained we need to continue to upgrade the line but that a competent qb would have put us in a position to make the playoffs THIS year. Not compete for a championship or anything like that. Darnold is so fuging bad that he has single handedly ruined this season oline issues aside. He’s gonna get Brady fired because rhule will never admit they made a mistake shipping 3 picks for the worst starting qb in the league who has the 7th most pocket time out of 32 starting qbs. He is the absolute bottom of the barrel qb. Like I really think we should just run wildcat the rest of the year and we would have a better chance at winning. He’s that bad.

Bullshit. Scheme over team. His poor concepts, coaching, and play calling are what is giving us 6 points in a game. Not the poorly coached players. I mean hell we knew Sam could be damaged goods yet zero back up plan from Brady. Just let him go out there and sling it around like he's Tom Brady.

Er nope, I was hardly on here off season at all so you got the wrong guy. Offseason I was def hoping it was Gase and would be a Tannehill situation. Lately I had long conversations with kungfoodude actually about how I was 2.7% on Darnold turning it around so....uh...lol

Citation needed homie go ahead the post history is available. 

At this point its settled science. I don't debate about flat earth it doesn't require an opinion. Saying lul Darnold sucks lul Darnold sucks in every thread isn't football talk. There's other poo to look at.

I think Brady is an issue too. Teddy isn't a long term franchise option, but with NO and with DEN he is scoring TDs pretty well. And DEN has a terrible OL too, and imo are weaker at skill positions than we are. Yet the % of TDs he throws dropped quite a bit here relative to NO and DEN. Teddy probably has this team with 2 losses and atop the division...

Just goes to show you that even a good defense will still be a losing effort if the offense can't do anything. Offense is more important in today's NFL. 

Yep. So even their strategy of building a stout defense ultimately backfired.

We've never had a more clueless head coach than Rhule.

Nothing "Average" about this offense. Ranks historically as one of the worst in history up to this point.
