When was that. At no time would I consider our D successful. More like lesser degrees of lousy. Our D needs serious work that has been apparent for the entire season.

Our Buffalo package picked up when Conner stepped in during the AZ game. He seemed to pick up the run pretty well, while TD was able to play both from his side of the field. However, when TD went down in the GB game, it was only a matter of time before we got blown up in every way both in the rush and the pass. We simply had no answer for Finley.

When our safeties cheated, we got burned deep. When they didn't, Finley and and the RBs had their way with the middle of the field regarding passing routes. The middle of the line actually held up decently during that stint.

I think a lot of the reason that Connor and the other LBs blow some assignments is because they're forced to do too much to make up for a lack of support up front. With a line that generates some push into the backfield and ate up a lot of the blocks, I think our LBs would look a lot better. Right now every single defensive player is being blocked on a lot of plays, there simply nothing that they can do.

Maybe both the DTs and the LBers are inexperienced and playing badly. In terms of what needs to improve, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

People want to say it's the line or the backers or the safeties or the corners.....but in reality there is room for improvement everywhere.

Suh was the exception, certainly not the rule. It's very rare to see rookie DT's come in and play well. In fact, it can take 3-4 years before a DT really hits his stride. It's just not a position that young players come in and make an impact at very often.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
