15th Ranked Defense

I am honestly enjoying watching our defense. Take away the Giants game and the 4th quarter of the Falcons game I have been extremely impressed. They are young, fast, and getting better. If we can get the proper coaching and another top 10 pick, we are on our way to having a very solid D. I love our DE threesome of CJ, Hardy, and Alexander. We need a few DT's. Davis, Anderson, Kuechly, and hopefully a healthy Beason can be built around. Then hopefully Gamble comes back strong along with an improving Norman. With the right GM and Coaching, our D isn't far.

They are definitely getting better. I wonder how much of that has to do with Rivera's more hands on approach with the D from last year? With keuchly taking up the beasting in the middle, we've done nothing but improve and I see them getting even better as the season goes on.

What sucks is that at the end of last season and all off season..I said if we had a middle of pack defense with this offense we were playoff bound. WOW facepalm I couldnt of been more wrong.

It is awesome to not see our D ranked 28or 29th as usual.

i still credit that prediction. you didn't know chud was going to go all bat poo crazy on us. no one can predict that. he finally stops doing it in the chi game, and we were in it until the last 3 seconds [and that's with giving chi the ball at the 45-50 yard line every time].

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
