The Good and the Bad...

frankeefrank · 09-07-2014, 04:32 PM

Haven't got a chance to re-watch yet, but at first glance...
While it always sucks to start 0-1, I am very excited about this season.
Good:
We have so many weapons on offense.
We scored 34 points on the road.
Mark Ingram. (good for him)
We have a very good running game.
Lofton looked pretty good.
When we blitzed it was disruptive.

Bad:
The defense is scary bad.
No pressure what so ever.
Poor tackling.
Sean Payton. (that's a big ego)
Wasn't Carmichael supposed to call plays?
Benching our run game in the first half.

This team reminds me of the 2011 squad. Awesome on offense, pours on defense. We went 13-3 that year. So I am not panicking at all.
ps. f the Falcons

Colston had 5 catches for 100 + receiving yards. His fumble was costly however he was anything but horrible.

He had 2 drops in the 4th quarter and fell over on an easy 3rd down conversion when he was wide open, his yardage came off the busted coverage which he nearly took the distance - then Brees threw a pick

I hope our defense gets fixed, looked like spags D

Colston fell after his feet got tangled with the defender's.

Good-Offense, all of it
Bad- pass rush, coverages, tackling, turnovers, fan over-reactions

You will not win in the playoffs without a D. This whole season, even if we go 13-3 again, will just not win in the playoffs if we don't get our D fixed.

Not that I want our D to stay this porous, but the 2009 25th ranked Super Bowl winning defense would disagree with you.

That's a little deception there. Our D scored 9 TDs that year and had the most turn-overs, and if you can re-call it was our D that got us in the Superbowl (porter pick against MIN) and our D that won us the Superbowl (porter picking Manning).

Its not deceptive and while I can hit a moving target, it is a little more difficult, but I can still hit it.

They were still the 25th ranked defense in yards and 20th in points allowed in 2009. Russell Wilson put up 310 yards and 3 TD passes on them. Our defense of 2009 was opportunistic, not lock down.

You were happy with last seasons defense weren't you? 24th in turn overs.

What is your focus? Yards, points, turnovers...

I do believe we forced a turnover yesterday.. no? The original statement was that we couldnt win in the playoffs with out a defense. Yes we can.
