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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
