I Blame the Defense More Than Jake

How do you leave Fitzgerald open all day? If the defense could have stopped the Cardinals from scoring, Jake wouldn't have had to throw the ball on every down. And once again this defense played lathargic, which is an indictment of the coaching.

I think Mike Trgovac need to be gone. The defensive game plan was inexcusable.

Panthers also need to draft a QB in the upcoming draft.

Question

Trog & Fox worked together during by week to come up with the defense !

Fox as a HC should have realized either in prep for game or early on that the defense was not getting to Warner

Sure Fox changed it at half time ,but why wait so long ?

Why not in your bye week plan on doubling FITZ

Why not plan on knocking Warner out with the Blitz, and rotating Peppers all over

If this is what a bye week does for Fox

PLEASE don't ever have a bye week again

Richard Marshall has been absolutely lost all season, and that hit its peak last night. Hey, Richard, when you are the only one attempting to switch on the crossing routes, you're doing something wrong.

Also, the 7-10 yard cushion may work on teams that throw the ball down the field, but it does not work against a quick passing team, such as New Orleans and Arizona. The key to disrupting timing routes is to throw off the timing. You can't do that when you are giving such a large cushion.

We knew our secondary sucked.

We knew Jake has good games and bad games.

We should've seen this coming. Sigh....

Some of us saw SOMETHING coming... but nothing like THIS.

I don't think it's the defensive players, I just think they are calling the wrong plays out there.

Our Defense is just too average. I hope next season we can mix this season's offense with the 2002 defense. This year's defense couldn't force Turnovers or get off of the field on 3rd down. The bend don't break scheme only works if you force TOs and FGs. This defense was giving up yards and TDs. If were going to keep Jake then we need to have a dominant defense.

    • I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.   
    • I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen. 
    • I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
