Officially The Worst Defense in NFL History


Recommended Posts

I fuging hope not. Injuries are bad but the defense has been historically incompetent. You cant just assume we won't have key defensive injuries next year.

Some of it is talent, but at some point, if you're getting dog walked defensively every game. It comes down to coaching when you're players are constantly playing 20 yards off their man and not tackling . You don't have to be talented to do fundamental things correctly on defense.

Injuries are a cop out.

we had Everyone healthy week 1

and the Saints scored on every possession not punting until the 4th quarter when they pulled the starters

 

this defense is just booty cheeks

I want us to keep Evero, I feel like we gave him a horrible foundation, and then it became full of injuries. Along with a historically bad offense that couldn't keep them off the field at one point...

But lately something about the fact that it's the worst in HISTORY makes me feel like the coach has to take some accountability. In franchise history cool...but NFL HISTORY??

We're light on talent and heavy on injuries but the dude just hasn't impressed me. At all.

Listening to a podcast and a point they brought up is that if the team is literally historically bad you can't keep Evero. There have been bad defense and beat up defenses and defensive coordinators made it work. Heck the 2009 Saints won a Super Bowl with a terrible defense, ranked 25th. Lions are beat up to heck and making it work, helps having an unstoppable offense.

On the season, yeah. But imagine being the Falcons. You're playing for your playoff lives and two weeks in a row you lose in OT without your offense having a possession. That is ROUGH. LOL

Good. I saw the empty red seats, and that team was playing for their playoff lives. Send it to Canada like their NHL team.

Tell that to our players.

How the fug did Robinson beat 3 players round the edge for their final TD?

    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks. 
    • I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
