Think Snow will defend his run D after today?

I mean did literally anyone think Cleveland wouldn’t run all over us?

This would've been the 2nd most rushing yards and the 2nd highest yards per carry that we gave up last year when we had a D built to rush the passer with stopping the run a complete afterthought. We focused on building a defensive roster that could better stop the run and this was the result.

It’s also D playcalling, we continued those cute 5/6 DB formations, Brown was doing nothing and Iannidis looked awful. Like, we should’ve at least tried to employ a 4 man front of our best defenders with 3 LBs at minimum w Chinn in the box. The defense made no sense today.

Seems like I heard there was supposed to be an emphasis on creating turnovers.   Don't remember seeing any of those.  I do think Snow is over his head here.  But I will give the D credit...despite being on the field most of the game...they were playing well enough to win in the 2nd half...just could not overcome the refs.

Not their fault Snow rushed 4 and played zone when it was obvious blitzing worked when they tried it

    • I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread. Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically.  The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter? Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.
    • Yeah, it is wild that we keep clawing back and thriving with all these different lineup combos and players coming and going. Say what you want about how some things have gone over the past few years but our roster construction is exceptional. We really have loaded up on guys in free agency and through the draft that really fit Rod's system. It's gonna come down to the usual things, I think. Can we elevate our play in the playoffs? That's the big thing we have lacked. Eventually we just hit an opponent that can dig deeper and scrap harder than us.  It's funny because we always have these teams we cannot seem to get past in the playoffs(Bruins, Tampa, NYR, Florida) that we eventually outlast and outbuild. I guess possiblu that will be the way we win a Cup in the end. Just outlast and outbuild them all.
    • I wouldn take Nystrom allll day over Reilly. He is a gem. 7th rounder that bought in and is playing great.  The injury’s on D actually got him the playing time he needs. He will be a cane for a long time.
