We have given up a league leading 4 passes of 40 yards or more, and 11 of 20 or more (13th worst). Opposing QBs have a combined 110.8 passer rating throwing on our D.

Chicago loves the deep ball, and I hope we are prepared for the long bombs. At the end of the day the only stat that matters is the points on scoreboard. Here's hoping we stop the bleeding this Sunday and pull the upset...

although I really don't like this stat, it does not surprise me all that much.

The type of defense that McDermott is and will run is always susceptible to givinbg up big plays. Teams can use your agressive style against you. Combine this style with guys that are just learning the new scheme, and it is a recipe for giving up the big plays.

I think you will see significant improvement in this area as the season wears on.

It's not the deep ball that is the problem. The ones that end up as long passes are short/medium throws when Pugh is off checking stock quotes or whatever he does when he's not in position.

Correct, we are not getting hit for long bombs down the sideline..broken coverages and poor tackling has been our D's biggest problem so far this year.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
