Out of boredom I decided to check up on some stats to see where we're at in ints/fumbles. Turns out we're #4 with 30 total, 19 picks and 11 forced fumbles. Not bad at all, VERY impressed with the defense this year.

..UNFORTUNATELY, we're also #4 in giveaways with 31 lol :[

Yeah, I assumed we were pretty high in takeaways. At first I didn't like the way the defense was playing, but Meeks has definitely turned it around as of late. I guess it just had to do with players getting acclimated to the new system. Also, I noticed a huge boost in the defense when Chris Harris returned.

we were #1 in turnovers, but we havn't had many since moore got the starting job

If not for Jake's INT's, we'd easily be atleast the #5 playoff seed. Who knows, we may have beat N.O. with a compotent QB that Fox wasn't calling plays around and still have a shot at NFC South.

which is why this team could easily be good next season

I want Fox gone but please keep Meeks. We all wondered what he would do when he came to a team would spend for Defensive talent and he has done wonders to the terrible D we had grown accustomed to. I don't know if he would be a good HC but he is one hell of a D coordinator and is vastly underrated in this league. Just my .02

he wouldn't likely stay with a new staff. Of course plenty of people want some super-aggressive D we don't have the horses for, but Meeks has shown that good defense doesn't necessarily mean sending 8 every down.

We'd need the help at DT to take that next step, but that's really about all.

Ron Meeks + Torrell Troup (UCF)= Top 6 or 7 D

Yup, we would have at least 3 to 4 more wins, if Jake had just stopped forcing the ball the SS. Moore proved this past week, spread the ball around just enough and Smith will be open when it matters.

At first i was disappointed with Meeks and some of the play calling from him, but now I realize that it wasn't on him it was on the players adjusting to his system. I mean hell he is making James Anderson and our young backups in Munnerlyn and Martin look like they've been playing for years. Meeks needs to focus on our CB's a little more tho, it'll be nice to see them make a few picks here and there. Gamble had one against the Pats but I dont remember the last time Marshall had a pick.

Gamble has 4 picks, Marshall has 3, Chris has 2, Godfrey has 1, Sherrod has 3.

He's doing damn good.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By CRA · Posted

      Geno fits Canales and fits the O.  It’s why Geno worked in Seattle and not Oakland.  He is a deep ball passer.  NFL is about fit.  Geno would beat Bryce out in 2 weeks in a real camp battle.  Which ain’t Geno praise.  It’s just recognition Geno is a round peg and that is what we are lacking

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      Awesome idea.  Let's make Cincinnati an offer.  I'm 100% sure they are ready to give up on Burrow. That is if you can keep him on the field.  He's been available how many games over that past 3 seasons? Getting Burrow is about as realistic as finding the allusive Rainbow Unicorn.  Do you realize that Young was responsible for 19 of the 40 yards on that final drive? Rico had 21 yards. Both of those completions were for first downs.  That's what game winning drives require.  It doesn't require the QB to throw the ball each and every down.  You do know this? It's clear that you won't give credit where credit is due.   While Bryce isn't your typical "Franchise QB" he's running the gameplan our coaching staff designs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Bryce sucks because you say so.

      Playoffs?!

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      This team is built to win, which I said at the start of the season. I'm not saying we are a super bowl contender, but it's a playoff roster.  The big handcuff is at the QB position.  If Bryce Young cannot start playing at a professional level we are going to continue struggling and stealing wins instead of punching people in the mouth like we should.  The reality is we should be sitting at 2 losses and have blown several teams out, including Green Bay, but having absolutely NOTHING in the passing game is holding us back badly.  Point being, in this current scenario our best hope is that we barely make the playoffs and get absolutely obliterated in the first round.
