What if I told you that our defense would never be any good , but we could still win a few rings if we ran the ball more often to help them ?

Does it matter how we win or that we win ?

No, you said the 1st two losses were equal in blame.

So if you want our top 3 offense do some things differently to keep our terrible defense off the field...

That statement there is proof that the two aren't even remotely equally at fault.

Our defense is the MAIN problem, plain and simple.

No, we wouldn't.

Which of the following statements makes more sense...


If we had the best offense in the history of the NFL and were scoring 40 points every game we'd be 4-0

OR...

If we had just a decent defense that could actually stop the other team every once in a while we'd be 4-0.

Through the first two losses this season, didn't we have the highest scoring offense in the league?
And it's the offense's inability to get a first down that made us lose?
Nope still siding on bad defense.

= Defense is the problem

What you say is true , however not as true as the notion that one or two more carries would've header those field goals impossible.

That's like Tyson boxing with Ali's jab. He's too damn short for that. You have to work with what you got , which still at the end of the day can be just as good if not better.

No our defense hasn't played well , but we haven't tried to keep them off the field at all. That matters.

instead of trying to establish the run lets be aggressive with the pass and work in the run off that

we make ourselves too predictable

and stop running in a new package every play

fast pace bam bam down the field when we need it
And my man Drew is always good for a pick in away games.
