People, stop blaming the offense, blame the DEFENSE


Mr ocho nueve

Well, as almost every other thread has stated, "Jake needs to go, Fox needs to go, Davidson needs to go!!!!"

REally, Turg needs to go. I dont see how you can put ALL the blame on the offense for the meltdown, even though much of it is deserved. When you have a defense that had been lacking ever since our bye week earlier in the season, its really apparent that the defense is the problem. Have you noticed that before the bye we were in the top 5 overall defense? Now i dont even keep up with that stat, because I know we have fallen dramatically.

But that leads me to another question, "How the heck did we end up 12-4?" O yea, i almost forgot, we have the Mr. Comeback on our team (delhomme), and the best RB duo in the league. We all know that Jake to Smith is one of the best, if not the best, connection in the league. Sure the offense didnt do sh*t last night, but please, please dont put ALL the blame on them.

ONE MORE TIME - "FIRE THAT BUM TURG BEFORE I GO COMMANDO ON HIM"

They are just as bad too. However, last night the defense DID make a few stops and the offense just sucked. If the offense could have put some points up or at least ran some time down, the defense wouldn't have had to stay on the field for 80% of the game time. They got tired, simple as that.

Hmmmm....... How many games did the Offense WIN us this season compared to the defense???

BIG DIFFERENCE

as bad as the first half was the defense responded and showed up in the 2nd half. if we had scored on beasons int then its 27-14, then after another stop delhomme throws a pick inside the 20. scoring there would have made it 30-21 with about 13 to go in the 4th. you never know what could have happened but opportunities were certainly there in the 2nd half created by the defense.

Look, before you go all Mr. Super Fan postal on the board, we were talking about THIS game, you know, the one from last night?

This thread was actually talking about more of ppl wanting Jake, Fox, and Davidson to get out of carolina, but yes, last nights game is just as important, lets not get over our heads now, stay cool:cool:

I hate that the offense forgot to cover larry fitzgerald

Delhomme turned the ball over SIX times. Five of them were completely on him. Those turnovers spotted the Cards 23 points. Any time we'd try to get anything going, he'd give the ball back. Several times in the red zone, which is a killer.

We can moan all we want about playcalling and the Defense, but Delhomme broke the teams back before halftime. If you really expect a defense to hold the Cards under 12 points when the offense gives the ball away that many times, I don't know what to tell you.

With that performance, we could have played Detroit last night and gotten thumped by 20.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
