It is.

It is not, however, the metric they use to determine top overall defense. That's based on yards.

Pretty sure of you check the rankings for points given up, you'll find we're ranked somewhat lower than second.

The unit itself doesn’t suck.  You are correct there.  However, situationally they are vulnerable to a power attack, virtually nullifying the most potent aspects of the system.  Pass rush and coverage.

If you can’t stop the run, you won’t see many passes.  Hence the inflated pass d statistics.

Its flawed therefore ineffective or as previously stated, they suck.

My point is the fact that our defense has done as well as they have given the fact that our offense gives the opposition the ball back over and over and over should not be over looked.  This teams woes are not on that side of the ball.  How can you watch these games and not see that?

You are correct but people have knee jerk reaction to anything positive  because we want the team burned to the ground for sucking so bad. They definitely do not look like a top defense to me….but they are light years ahead of our offense which is about as bad as it gets.

That's right...that's why we are the 19th ranked defense in the NFL

Where the fug do these fools come from saying we are the 2nd ranked defense...its been a long time since week 3 you fools.

If you are out here blaming or smacking the defense just stop and think for a second.  They are # 2 in the NFL and our offense is almost dead last.  What they have been able to do this season in reality is a fuging miracle considering our turnovers, inability to complete a forward pass and losing the best player on the team....again.

They have good overall numbers but situationally they are terrible. How many 3rd and longs have we given up. How many three and outs. Tampa has 60% of their offense out today and they have 250 yards in the first half and almost 100 in the ground. Absolutely the defense is terrible due to  a crappy scheme even though our personnel might be pretty good. You clearly see but don't understand.

Don't base your judgment of any NFL unit on a statistical ranking.

Anything other than stats is just an opinion and is probably flawed.   That being said, its clear the team (with one or two exceptions) has given up and is already thinking about the offseason.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
