:facepalm:

Seriously, we just beat a weak team. They piled up yards but only scored more than 10pts due to a garbage-time gimme TD.

How about we play a few more games before we go all sky-is-falling on the defense?

As I said in my original comment: it’s too soon to be considering a rental DT.

How about we count the games when it happened last year? Or is that off limits too?

It's looking good and i'm really optimistic but I want to see what Kellen does when he has created tendencies and NFL teams adjust.

Linehan always looked good until he had tendencies and then he just kept doing the same things over and over because they had previously worked.

An example.. The 1st down bootleg was great in 2016.. Not so much the 3 years after.
Moore’s scheme is a scheme designed so that it shows no tendencies.

They got lucky with bad playcalling and execution from the Giants more than any great plays that they were making, specifically the defensive line. The got run over and were fortunate that Barkley was taken out of the game - not by them clearly - but by the poor playcalling of his own coach. And then they did nothing in terms of generating pass rush either.

Anyone who wants to step up and tell me that poor run defense + no pass rush = 'a good day', have at it!
35-17 says it was a fantastic day :D:p

Can a team be a super bowl contender after 7 weeks. There is still so much football to play anything can happen

Come on guys, Barkley, stop acting like he some no name RB. I can see teh complaining if the Lions RB ran all over us, or some back up , but stop the complaining over Barkley.

yes, lets not fall for the "advertising of the league"

most teams are SB contenders by than and most are already done. very few strike lightning in a bottle.

If we are 8-1 or 7-2 and we have issues up the gut still I’ll trade for snacks Harrison
What issues up the gut, why do people keep saying this?

On the long run - half of Saquon's yards - everything inside was plugged up and he bounced OUTSIDE. The problem was with the safeties (both were guilty). He had another 11 yards when he bounced outside and ran over A Brown. It's not like the Giants were just pounding through the A and B gaps

I'm giving them at least as couple more days before I'd consider this option.

The big run by the Giants was a problem due to the DE crashing inside and the LB not filling.

Not convinced we have a big problem at DT.
Actually I think it was on X Woods, though Crawford getting washed on the double didn't help. Sturm had a pretty good breakdown - the .gif shows the gap responsibilities.

I wouldn't count them out...They just barely lost to the Rams and I watched McCafrey hang almost 200 all purpose yards on that Rams defense. However, I used McCafrey because other than him being in the NFC his skill set is tailor made to hack us up....but my apologies
It doesn't matter what his skill set is when his team is not on our schedule and anyone with an objective opinion (not you) can see they aren't going to make the playoffs. They are no threat to us. lol

You don't say!!!! Wow thanks for the enlightenment. Lol!!!
Thanks for the enlightenment about getting outcoached when it obviously wasn't true. You just seem desperate to take a stab at Garrett every chance you get. I'm sorry the man kicked your dog and got your sister pregnant but Jeebus, get over it. lol

I would do a 1 year rental for just about anything that would help our pick for a day 3 compensation if it was a legit player.

I'd rather trade Taco though and let McClay role the dice in the draft.


I think DT and Safety are the obvious put us over the top defensively pieces.

Quinn is going to be a big upgrade over Crawford when he comes back.

In the box SS should be the easiest. So easy, that Donovan Wilson might be an improvement. I'd still like to see them bring in another guy.

That would cost 1st/2nd round picks. Sure that's what you want to do?
This is all so hypothetical nobody knows what the hell it will cost. But, yes, if it's our biggest defined weakness and we find a difference maker, do what you gotta do.

I'm down for any trade to bolster our defense for a playoff run. CB, safety, DL, probably not LB but if we can add talent anywhere else i'm down 100%.

I'm worried Antwan Woods was a creation of the media. Watch some tape...he's getting destroyed by double team blocks. We need somebody to hold the line.

wasn't the second rounder a McClay roll of the dice,? What about Taco? why would you trust him?
