Ill reply to both you and Danno at the same time.

Either get rid of GW or the "not fit for purpose" players..

Either way our present Defense and GW style are not a good fit.

I think GW's main problem is that his style of blitzing defense requires fast violent players all along the front 7. We don't have any yet.

Galette, Romeus, Wilson, and Vilma fit that style of play, but Smith, Rogers, Franklin, Shanle, Dunbar do not.

I agree with this. That’s why Galette, Romeus and Wilson needs to be on the field. I like what I’ve seen in Galette and Wilson

YES the defense lapsed in the end but it’s not entirely the defense fault. When you have 6 turnovers and we’re still down less than a touchdown, I like my chances and as we saw. What disturbs me about Gregg’s defenses is that he always goes soft at the wrong time and since he likes the pressure defense just go straight 46, we all know Harper is a liability in coverage so it was no adjustment there with a corner not Jenkins because Vernon was they're only option

The d played good for most of the game. It's the coaching who gets the blame on the last drive. Gw HAS to go. Time for a change, we only will have this offense for a few more yrs. After that we will have to rebuild it as well. Change our d Now! Please.

Ok I just remembered another reason he needs to
go.

Anyone remember Smith around end for a TD last night?

Now think about another QB around opposite end for a TD ?

How about Stafford around end exposing a weakness just LAST WEEK!

This is the way I feel about it too. GW ego got in the way in the end.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Saints DC Gregg Williams is "expected" to join Jeff Fisher's staff in St. Louis.

Schefter rarely passes along pure speculation, so the odds appear high Williams has indeed coached his final game for the Saints. Schefter reports former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo and Dolphins DC Mike Nolan are both possible replacements in New Orleans.

Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter

If this is true, no need to wait. We have to put the full court press on Spags and Del Rio... let's not give the other teams an upper hand.

I'm willing to bet this though, with the personnel the Rams currently have on defense, I would not be surprised to see him be very successful over there.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

I think the defense needs a fresh start. I came to the decision last night whilst eating a large burrito.

I'm not saying yesterday was his fault. Personally, I'm not blitzing a soul on those last two drives, but I understand why we did. Our inability to get pressure with 4 is, in my opinion, probably the biggest weakness on our team. Yes, even bigger than Shanle.

The "D" has become static. We need some kind of change. We aren't going to spend big money on "D" if we plan to keep the offense relatively intact. I do think we have some players already on the defensive roster who are ready to take bigger roles, but I also think a coaching change might be a wise move if for nothing more than method to stir up the gris gris a little bit.

C'mon Man...

Look, the offense was up and down, yes. But they made plays when it was NEEDED.

The defense played great all game, but did NOT make the plays when needed.

Did you hear Bradshaw after the game? Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

I'm sick of blitzing to no results and watching lackluster QB's smoke our defense.
