That defense gave up more plays > 20 yards than are allowed to get any sort of "credit".

Greg Williams schemes you say? Greg Williams great defense you say?

Marshawn Lynch I say.....

Look, that streak last season had zippo to do with the defense. Our offense was pretty-much flawless at times and we outscored teams most of the time.

Had our offense played up to their abilities last Sunday it would have been a totally different game.

And losing Meachum had zero to do with it because he's not blocking on the line. Drew had defenders in his face and the o-line played poorly at best.

What I saw Sunday didn't have anything to do with Gregg Williams as his defense was weak at best. If anything, our secondary was having a hangover from last season (looking the same or a little worse) where they looked the same and the run defense looked improved.

Again, if anyone is going to point fingers, point them at that o-line that looked sorry and sad last Sunday. Drew throwing that INT didn't help either.

PS where is Jabari Greer? Again, he's out and coverage in the secondary is weak.

As ugly as Sunday was, on both sides of the ball,
1 or 2 plays turning out differently, and it could have been just another UGLY win.
The mental mistakes were brutal. If we clean that up we'll be fine.
Keeping the entire team focused for all 4 quarters was Sean Payton's job.
He did it VERY well. His absence is showing in the discipline department.
I hope these other guys (Kromer, Spags, Carmichael, ...) can get a handle on
all the loose ends that keep getting snagged.

I'm not worried just yet from what ive seen in the preseason our defense wasnt perfect (yet again without Greer). The skins game wouldve been different if you throw in Greer, a vet among the other corners. I wonder why Hicks didnt play and why don't they start Martez dammit. But all in all that game and every game here on is something to learn from whether good or bad.

Let us win the SB this year.. that'll calm people down for sure!

PASS:Griffin III 19-26, 320 yds, 2 tds (Rookie)
RUSH:Morris 28 car, 96 yds, 2 tds (Rookie)
REC:Garcon 4 rec, 109 yds, 1 td


Offensive line was pretty bad, oh wait these stats are against the defense.
We made 2 rookies look like there ready for the HOF.Offense probably didn't have there best game but defense was a lot worse, not to mention Redskins has a pretty stout defense and we still scored 32 pts on a day when they weren't at there best.

This was just the first game hopefully they can get it straightened out and everyone can be happy again.

I honestly thought our Defense stopped the run better than I have seen them in a while.

3.4 ypc for Morris is not stellar.
