Is This The Worst Defense in The NFL?

[d_cowboy31]

It's crazy to say after how the were performing earlier in the year but it may be true. At the very least it's got to be one of the biggest collapses in a unit over the course of a season. I don't want to hear about injuries either. If LVE and Anthony Brown being out derails the entire D then you've got major problems.

Pretty funny that some posters earlier in the year were literally comparing this D to the 85 Bears.

Come on now. Predictable overreaction after the game. They were bad, but they also created 4 turnovers and got a clutch stop to end the game

 

[Tio]

We’re missing 40% of the starting unit.

we won man

cmon now

I am not trying to be a downer. Glad we won. It was a fantastic game.


But I am worried about the defense. They just aren’t good enough with the players we are missing to injury.

It’s not the worst but it might be the worst in the playoffs. Hopefully when we get our starters back and healthy they’ll be better but… I’m not sure.

We need to start calling up free agent corners

Yes, hopefully DQ can find the right adjustment.

I mean it's not just based off this game. They've been horrible for the last month. Turnovers are the only thing saving them and you can't rely on turnovers all the time.

I really hope LVE can come back soon. And Micah and others should get some rest before the playoffs start

The announcer said Dorrance Armstrong was playing. Is that true? I thought he was injured.

 

[Cydios]

In spite of being down a bunch of starters they got 4 turnovers.

 

[Preoccupied]

We stayed with the eagles and their second string QB and beat them.
I am taking that for Christmas day with custard and whisky and anything else that hits the dinner table.
I will worry about the D another time too busy celebrating whats has just occured.

Right? I get questioning the team with how sloppy and unfocused they can me, but come on, not the “worst” defense in the league.

 

[Silverz1972]

4 turnovers.

Rush defense good.

Pass rush is not what it was at the beginning of the year.

25 is a player I think.

Here we go, I swear after every game

 

[Taggy12]

Our defense allow 28 points and their allow 40... we got 3 turnover. Worse? Now you are reaching overreacting

 

[RoyalCowboy]

Dude, we just played the 2nd best team in DVOA metrics, with rookies playing on D, LVE and hankins out to neutralize our porous run D, we had a pick 6, scored 40 on these guys and had a pick 6. No, they are not the worst defense, they are just facing a lot of adversity and inexperience as well as made a few mistakes as ALL TEAMS DO every week.

Remember, we only allowed their offense 27 points with a "worse and less experienced" defensive squad. We allowed 26 points in the first game, that's consistency. Chill man.

Are they coming back?

 

[d_cowboy31]

It seems like winning some close games and generating turnovers is blinding people.

Over the last month we are bottom 5 in the league in yards given up, 3rd down defense and points given up.

And that includes games against Minshew, Mills, and Matt Ryan. A lot of delusional fans.
