That was one of the things I loved about the '15 D. We'd get off the field and then by golly there'd be a god damn Flag and I'd be cursing Browner before I even knew who the flag was on, lol

F*** IT. No sense in even watching who we pick up in the draft let alone watch the damn games.

Seriously Will, if I went through life thinking like you all the time I would jump off a skyscraper.

Try to find some optimism in your post bro.

Give up, B_dub. Old Will(insert team name)81 appears to live off negativity.

YOU MUST WIN the TURNOVER BATTLE and BE GREAT or DIE TRYING....
This may be hard to believe but... I can't take out team being a bunch of puzzies.

Will, I know one thing. I'd rather have the ball in Brees' hands regardless. I honestly don't care how the D give the ball back, as long as they do.

Turnovers come with pressure, we have been adding to our front 7 all offseason, but if the D gets off the field on 3rd down consistently, I'd be ecstatic.

Last year, thanks to Davison, Rankins and Fairley, we finally didn't get destroyed by the run consistently badly for the first time in many years. That was a step forward. If we can just get better edge rushing along with one safety to be "our Harrison Smith" to help create additional havok, along with solid coverage and assignment football, then the defense will have arrived.

And don't get me started on the bone-headed move this FO is about to make. Butler is not a damn need.

How can I be optimistic when we didn't go all out for a big game-changing player. We could have gotten two. This FO has made it seem like we were several pieces away.

Byrd was viewed as a game changer, we spent 56 mil on him and got burned for 3 years.

Like it or not, we do better with the low cost signings, have done for years.

That was one player. Byrd was also injury prone and we knew that! those were just bad signings. You don't quit just because of that. I wanted us to get the league's attention this offseason, we didn't. People still think we're gonna suck outside of this fanbase.
