Do people expect a defense to be good

When the offense turns the ball over 3 times?

Talk all the sh*t you want about our defense, but we're not going to hold every team to 14 points. The defense put us in a great position to win late in the 3rd quarter when they forced a Falcons punt while up 17-14. We then put up one of the worst offensive series all game, punted them the ball and put them in great field position(on the CAR 49). The defense then forced a FG which tied the game, and our offense once again goes stale. That essentially ended the game.

Our interior line is poo. Our linebackers are poo. Our secondary is questionable(putting it nicely) at best. That doesn't excuse the offense for consistently coming up short in big situations.

we turned the ball over a poo load of times last year and our defense was a million times better in every way imaginable

PS. the last turnover was in garbage time with 0 seconds left, and the 1st one, there was pretty much no time left on the clock in the 1st half

I know I will change my post. Point still stands the offense is coming up short often.

I know our defense is absolutely horrible but our offense needs to step up. Most of it falls on the coaching. This post was by no means a slight to Cam.

says the cam nuthugger

cam can do no wrong is that right? cam had nothing to do with the failure of this team today? :rolleyes:

Please don't compare me to that troglodyte that is footballisasport.

I'm actually pretty level headed in debating about Cam.

First turnover didn't hurt the defense any and the third was irrelevant. The second one hurt, but I would say all the three and outs after we got to 17 points hurt more than anything else the offense did.

The first turnover cost us at the very least 3 points, likely 7. Momentum is a wonderful thing and a defense playing with a lead makes everything easier.

Just saying.

Tom Brady and Drew Brees throw picks all the time and you dont see them with one win. Just saying...

I would agree with you, IF our defense didn't prove you wrong every week and play like fuging swiss cheese when we have the lead....

Never said the defense wasn't partially at fault. I'm saying the offense consistently fails in big situations. You can't argue that.

We're simply not a good football team. I know it sucks to say that, but it's true. I'm hopeful that will change with a good offseason, but as for now we're probably looking at 3-13/4-12.

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
