The Offense Sucks but....

[chknwing]

Good googly moogly, The defense is giving up almost 30 pts per game.  Did they pack it in already?  The entire Defensive staff is full of great coaching minds.  The players seem out of position on many occasions.  I dont know what it is but everything is so vanilla, the DB's are stuck in the mud, and no one can tackle.  Giving up 144 yards rushing a game.  I expected more than just turnstyles for a defensive front.

I feel like injuries are more to blame on defense. Losing Shaq really hurt and the secondary is in tatters due to injury.

Our starting most experienced MLB is out, starting safety is out,  and both starting CBs are out. 

Also those early turnovers didn't help lol 

Also Detroit just has a good offense in general 

Early turnovers fuged them mostly Detroit basically put the game away early scoring off bryces ints and sanders fumble.

Yeah injuries and offensive turnovers.

We saw in the preseason how void of backup talent we are here.  Those  guys playing significant time just kills our chances of being competitive

The injuries on defense have made things more difficult. Today we had 3 turnovers all of them resulted points for the Lions since they happened on our side of the field. And, our weak offense can’t sustain drives which results with in the defense being on the field too long. I think Evero’s defense would look a lot better if they had a competent offense on the other side of the ball.

Our team just lacks talent at positions to be honest. We keep thinking that our team is solid, obviously we're biased as a fanbase. But when you really look at this team, we don't have any difference makers. Guys that we were hoping to develop and contribute haven't. YGM, Chinn, are about the only players but they would be role players on a better team. This is why Fitt needs to go.

If any of yall remember school... having a bunch of red marks on your paper usually means you failed 

Fitterer, hurney 2.0, and rhule were collosal bumfugs in the draft

And that's not even considering that 2023 draft might be the worst of all time especially if we end up giving Chicago Caleb Williams while Bryce is Medicore at best

I saw this exact pic earlier too. 2021 really had a chance to be special, 4 picks in top 100 and the only player that has contributed is BC, very sad drafting.

A lot of injuries on D. A lot of turnovers and just ineffectiveness on offense putting more pressure on the D. It's all just a recipe for disaster. 0-5 ain't a fluke. We've earned it.

Healthy, this team was seven win team at best, that would also include a decent quarterback, which is sitting the bench. With injuries We are most certainly a zero to one win team.

Three turnovers. It was 14-7 and we had the ball.  After the defense made a 4th down stop I believe. Two straight turnovers.  Not two drives, 2 fuging plays and its 28-7 because of our offense. That's after Bryce already gifted them 7.  Keep the defenses name out ya mouth.
