It's a trend. Coming out of the gate strong. Then 2nd half melt down. Our defense is very predictable. Our execution on defense is bad. The back 7 are on 7 different pages. After 5 games we still can't stop the crossing patterns and quick hitches. We are always almost there. Never THERE. 2nd half defense can't make a stop. 23 this game. 24 last game. No crucial stop.

Offense struggles in second halves but does enough for us to win games. Although it shouldn't have come to a replay review.

There is no creativity no adjustments.

Maybe we are not as talented as we think we are. They are over rated. Wouldn't surprise me. But coaching has been bad. Game plans have been bad. We did it last year. Now coaches are doing exact same thing this year and there is plenty of tape. We telegraph what we are going to do.

Very very disappointed

5 games? This is like 10 years. Slants and crosses are a free 10 yards against this D. Hitches have to work since our CBs are 7-10 yards off and backing up on the snap.

We were slow to start vs. the Cardinals and Denver, but we collapsed in the second half against the Rams and Packers (only scored three points in the second half against the Giants also, but it didn't matter because they suck worse). Either way there are coaching problems here.
