I predicted this going into the game. A blind man could see that coming from a mile away. What I didn't see coming was how bad this defense could truly be scheme wise. It needs a complete overhaul. Sadly we also need another RB and a couple more WR's as well.

Scheme of the D is great. Talent is abysmal.

Yeah, but Evans and Irving were better than anything we had today. We definitely need to draft and develop better. Been like that for years though

Irving was one of the pups, though.  I think they had two young Divsion II WRs out there today.  People here are quick to point out Coker went to Holly Cross and that our WR corps is so crappy having to ask a D-2 guy to step in the lineup.  The Bucs have a couple of D-2 guys at WR and don't need to make any excuses for their passing game.

Really? I mean, I fully expected this defense to be completely eviscerated today without Horn and not having a run game on the other side to minimize their time on the field.

The soft zone allowed 2 no name players to look like pro bowl players out there. They left Evans wide open on 3rd down time after time. Evero is done here.

Theilen would be a #3 on most other teams. No shot at him, but if he's our best weapon on offense that tells you how bad Bryce has it trying to carry this offense.

That's why he's always open, he's a #3 quality WR?.  Thielen's main limitation is if Bryce can hit him. Only 67 players have more receptions. He's not a #3.  He's honestly a #2, although our #1,  and the fact that Bryce relies on him so much shows how valuable he is.  Thielen happens not to suck because he wasn't drafted and 'developed' here.  If so, he probably would be a #3,  if in the League at all.  Thank you Vikings for showing us what a WR should look like.

I'm at the point in which it's really hard to discern whether it's the scheme or our players that's causing the bigger issue. Either way, it's probably best for both parties to go our separate ways and go full reset on our defense.

    • It is simply a team that is unable to beat the teams they should beat. If they do that, no convoluted tiebreaker needed, and a justifiable winning record.  Team was 8-10 on the year and showed progress. But let’s not get carried away and throw a parade because of some fluke tiebreaker result.  We finished 1-3 coming out of a bye and 3 of those were ‘must win’ games. Only Seattle was not a must win. So we finished 1-2 in must win games and backed into the playoffs due to a fluke.  Generally speaking most teams drop a couple they shouldn’t and win a couple they shouldn’t. And that is what happened with our 2 wins over playoff teams. We stole a couple.    it was good that we did that, but a true good team does not get swept by the Saints, with a QB making only his second start in that first game.     That is what losing teams do. I have seen enough losing teams to know that.    Aside from that, I understand the thought that we have arrived and now we should expect to win every week. But I don’t really agree that we are there yet. I understand the FO and coaching staff need to take that posture around the players, but I am worried if they really believe that and start making moves based off of thinking our window is open NOW. .   I think one more season of acting as if we are building and the window is yet to open, would serve us better.  You know, afraid we are gonna start doing ‘win now’ moves and undermine the build.    We are really set up to take a step back now, with this harder schedule, with the unexpected Icky injury, and still with a lot of holes.     
    • Unless it’s cheap. He is only 2 years from 100 point season and plays 200 feet. 
    • I mean, if you could tell before he ever took a snap... ammiright?  Reality, my friend, shows a massive history of the best QBs taking time to come up to speed. Those that didn't are very, very rare. Manning, Rogers, Manning, Young, Montana, Stabler, Bradshaw, Staubach, Favre ... the list of those that took a few years to either get off the bench or make it on the field just goes on and on. The list of those thrown into the fire and just getting burned up is even longer. There's no magic crystal ball. There's just good coaching, patience and a helluva lot of luck in these picks.
