Chill out

We did a decent job in the middle, against the run, on defense
I don’t know what happened to the outside linebackers, nonexistent

they looked lost play in, play out. We were allowing them too many yards running imo. Either we need a complete overhaul on the back 7 or the coaching is that bad.

I hear you. BUT we are skeptical due to the culture. While the players come and go, the coaches come and go over the last 31 years, the 1 constant seems to be the Joneses and the afore mentioned culture of no discipline. The mustard came off the hotdog last night. Arm tackles, showboating, blatant fouls, blown coverages repeatedly, and looked not ready to play the opponent. I saw this coming and even as a fan I knew we had to approach this game seriously. We didn't, so we got what we deserved. I was embarrassed.

No culture of discipline, agreed. Penalties and mistakes always fall on preparation and repetition. I'd been the theme...for years.

There are no “wake up calls” with these guys. Not as long as JJ “Sleepwalker in chief” or his family own this team. Expect no meaningful changes until this family sells the team…..which I am not expecting in this lifetime.

All the glory is 30+ years in the past. I hate to serve up a whole ugly dish of reality, but there are many on here who STILL fall for Jones P.T. Barnum act. Not me.

Jerry and the front office are not out there on the field trying to execute the plays.

Yes they are responsible for coaches and players. But theses are not the 1988 and 1989 players either.
Though they looked like it for game 1.

Get that, game 1. Lets give it 3 or 4 more games.
Otherwise stay stuck in your 30 years mantra.

We got our butts handed to us in / on a toilet bowl platter.

The loss could be a wake up call in a way.
The key is how do they handle it moving forward.

I knew the season would start off rough in my predictions on record. I think I said 1-3 to begin. Maybe 1-4. I still think we make the playoffs as a wildcard but we are a work in progress as we saw last night. We have a long way to go. Could even lose the next 2 games.

I have no freaking idea at this point, we blame the coach last season, we going to blame this season, everybody I guess

The good, the bad, and the real ugly

How many times have we seen piss poor linebacking? How many times have we seen nobody within 10 yards of the rb out in the flat WIDE OPEN UNCOVERED? Until we cover it, I expect teams to do it to us. Doest seem to matter who the d coord is or what scheme we run does it? We must be a low IQ defense. Clearly, we need a linebacker or 2. Winters is ok against the run but is awful in coverage. Overshown is hot mess. A lost pup. Id trade for the Miami Linebacker or just rotate some practice squad guys in. Lets see Barron.

I can see a win over Washington, but a loos against Baltimore.
Maybe even a loss against Houston, deepening what Stroud shows up, against our bad looking defense.
