The defense is decimated

I can't remember a season in which more  starters on defense are on IR or just coming up lame. The offense will have to score 30 a game to have a chance against better teams, and we all know that isn't happening.

 One or two wins is the most I am expecting. Just don't lose 17 straight. I don't see them winning much more then that with the shape of the defense.

Very sad state of affairs. Really can't get much worse.

There wasn't much there in the first place. There was 1 upgrade at safety and they chose to switch the D scheme with so little depth and known player health issues. The last 5 games last year 1 the opponets scored less then 20 points, Saints divisional slap fest, so its not like that unit needing more help wasn't a known thing they mostly ignored or failed to address.

More bad news, the O won't be scoring 30 very often. And it can get worse, it this BS again next year which just seems cruel at this point in this season. 

The good news is that a player or two may establish themselves as decent if they get enough playing time in that mess. Maybe I guess.

It really is wild how many players we’re missing on that side of the ball.

One of the worst parts about it is our defensive line has been healthy all season, yet we are 31st against the run. Our run defense is just awful.

I have yet to understand why teams pass on us.  Make us stop the run first.

Yup. At least we’re 9th against the pass (idk how.) Broncos are 32nd against the run and 30th against the pass. Giving up 440 yards a game.

Really makes me frown thinking about how they have 2 wins with that historically bad defense and we have 0.

    • Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.
    • Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....
    • Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
