Officially The Worst Defense in NFL History

[LelouchBritannia]

Do we keep Evero? 

[Hoenheim]

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.

[LinvilleGorge]

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

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??

[Chief Keek]

Definitely not, Evero should be done this offseason. Also time to switch back to a 4-3 and get rid of the undersized guys on the front 7.

The effort has not been there 

[LinvilleGorge]

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

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.

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?
