Of course it didn't matter. It didn't matter because the offense scored a grand total of 3 points afterwards on countless 3 and outs, not to mention, turning the ball over 3 times.

And no, I am not going to count that meaningless 0-seconds left TD, because had it mattered, I am sure the Eagles D would've stopped it.

But ***** and moan all you want about the defense. All I know is, scoring 10 points a game in go-time and turning the ball over 3 times is not going to win a lot of games.

While I don't think it's RR's fault that the D isn't delivering... I don't see any harm in shaking things up by replacing him with somebody else outside of the organization.

I'd love to see them replace some of the positional coaches as well, and whoever would come in should have complete freedom to choose his assistants.


If anything it would serve as getting a jump start on next year and give more time to implement a new defensive scheme while the offense struggles on the other side of the ball anyways.

Yes, it's a team game. 519 yards doesn't lie. The defense was bad from the start, as was the offense. I don't know how this could be considered an improving unit in anyone's eyes.

I look at all the players individually, thats where there is improvement. I'm just waiting for it all to click.

On to the Atlanta game !

The Defense is clearly not buying into RR and what he is selling. What's different this season is the Offense can't put up the big points to overcome it.

This defense is worse than the offense...our o line is terrible but it's no excuse for this defense...if you told me 4 years ago that we can have Brandon Browner, Keenan Lewis and Jarius Byrd all on the field at the same time I'd be calling top 5 defense...it's a reason Dallas let him go and we were just in denial

WillSaints81

Was our defense ranked in the top 5 in 09? Look this is something I hated to do. But that defense around Peyton.........half of it was good before he even got there. Brady? Yeah pats were a good run defense for years, and they only needed to work on the secondary. Here's the thing, you can't expect a defense to stay good when you let go so many contributors. I'm sorry but that's just how it is.

This sucks to say but are you willing to risk Drew Brees health to be a top five defense in two years? I'm not.

You are spot on IMO burningmetal. The defense has shown some improvement with the exception of a couple slackers. Take Brandon Browner and all of his killer penalties and missed tackles out of the equation, how much better would this defense look?

IMO the offense is gone and done. When Mccown started, we slimmed it down and it worked. Last week it seemed we were pretty much doing the same thing but with Drew. Now this game they didn't.

When your Offense is struggling and your O line is acting like a turnstile at a little wayne concert, where is the adjustment? Where are the quick strike plays? IMO the blame is on the coaching. Im with Danno with, its time to blow this **** up. Payton has no answers, he looks defeated, he is no longer motivated. His assistants are washed up and just collecting a paycheck. If The upper Brass can get the right personnel in here, we have the players to make this work.
