Hats off to the defense.

Just a really fun group to watch. 
 

Gruiger-Hill stepped up. Luvu is the man. Woods/Bell is looking like a nice combo. And we consistently made Carr’s day miserable with the pass rush. Hell even Henderson was a play away from having an acceptable performance. 
 

Just the group as a whole played with such passion, laid it on the line, and they made this a game. 
 

Offense…get your poo together. Just do something. Be slightly below average instead of historically bad so we can know what winning games feels like.

Mmm I wouldn’t go that far. They did have some good red zone stands. But we let Hill run all over us. You know it’s coming, how do you not game plan for it.

Caveat being maybe Shaq was the game plan for hill.

The defense is fun to watch.

They get after it, kind of get worn down in the 4th quarter due to the offense ineptness but Evero has that side of the ball humming.

They were worn out. Offense could sustain drives.

Our pass D and pass rush looks good, surprisingly. Burned a few times over the top, but given the CB injuries and our offense going 3 and out like 6 out of 8 drives or whatever, bound to happen.

The run D looks as suspect as ever. We don't have a true NT and the OLBs are light/not good run defenders, so maybe should've expected that. But through 2 weeks, the run D ranks 29th in EPA/play.

Was an impressive showing. Evero wouldn't know what to do if he actually had a competent offense to pair his defenses with. Same story every year.

Even though we lost, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching the defense. Winning is cool but it doesn't have to be everything.

We've faced Atlanta who had the #3 rushing attack last season and have gotten even better.

Bijan ran for a 170 plus yards against Green Bay alone. 

Tyson Hill I don't care what anyone says is Cam-lite in those short yardage situations with his ability to pass and size when he gets moving. 

If we could sustain some drives and not allow teams to just pound on us for 4th quarters and actually put pressure on them to score some points, our defense and pash rush would look even better.
