I have noticed this week after the Eagles beat down, talking heads are now questioning our defense.
Supposedly we won’t be able to stop Allen and company. Holding the Eagles to 6 points is not good enough.
I don't think it's that, it's for one it's on the road and weather...
two, I hate to break it to you because I've been saying this all year our defense is not locking teams down, we are not stopping them from driving the football, and being opportunistic, yes they are getting turnovers to stop the bleeding but dude we've had many games where they're being boat raced right down the field they're getting gashed and on many series every game they were lucky in the Philly game to get those balls out... I know they pulled them out but those were long drives we were getting gashed..
we lost three games this year because the defense just isn't what was expected we are opportunistic it is what I call a boom or bust type defense we have to have the turnovers to stop the drives if not they're driving down the field pretty easily.
this is not the New York Giants or the Carolina Panthers this team is built for this weather and Josh Allen's arm can throw I've seen him in windy ridiculous snow..
I mean This is why they are making this basically even that's what the Vegas lines are it's 2 1/2 for us but really, it's supposed to be 3 to them for home, so I'm just calling it even.
it's because of that we've had our issues on the road and now you have to add the weather in it..
I hate to be the guy to point this out but our defense is pretty overrated right now as far as people just remember the big turnovers and the sacks but they forget the games that we lost against San Francisco Arizona in the first Eagles game the defense wasn't stopping them most of the game and then we could look to the Seattle win I mean that is how I see the defense they're inconsistent they need the turnovers to stop drives I know it's part of their game but what happens when we don't get them?? I've been very concerned all year I've been waiting for this team to have a game where they're not supported by turnovers and just play straight up and be able to shut the team down without waiting for them to make a mistake I mean we're having these long drives man I mean I know the defense overall looks good when you add everything together but they are susceptible to getting driven on I mean we just saw it in Seattle I already said this enough with all the games that we lost this year was mostly because of the defense,
IMHO our offense got desperate because our defense wasn't stopping anybody...
