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?

    • That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems. 
    • I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.     
    • I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
