Maybe the defense is not as good as we thought?

[jwitten82]

We looked dominant against two teams who have horrible offenses, then they give up 28 points today

They are only good if they can hit the QB or get turnovers. Otherwise teams can still run all over us or hit us for big plays.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

This is what I expect every year. This team always has stinker games and it's always coaching. The player's were not ready today.

 

[Frozen700]

We lost Diggs which hurt

And Dak is not good. He needs an elite defense so he can drive a bus

Saw what Herbert did today while his defense tried so hard to sell all the groceries? He went off

Losing Diggs made us vulnerable and Dak will sell us

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Defense can't win the game every week. Sometimes the Quarterback needs to take over when the Defense has an off day.

 

[Adiba1977]

They are not that good

 

[zenmastersauce]

The defense is fine but I do think we got kicked in the mouth tonight. Wake up call

 

[RomoIsGod]

Losing Diggs didn't help

 

[nate dizzle]

Defense was bound to have some games where the offense needed to pull their own weight, today they were needed and failed. First game the defense didn't give them multiple turnovers to score with and they couldn't crack 20.

 

[StarMan2112]

This isn’t an elite defense. But I think we’re better than what we showed today. The whole team just wasn’t prepared to play.

 

[Surfguy]

Micah had us all going there for a social media minute.

 

[kevm3]

This is a 'hot boyzz' defense that believed the hype and thought they were going to come in with low effort and got spanked by the Cardinals run game and Josh Dobbs

 

[Blackrain]

Defense is very good at pass rushing just can't stop the run and no plan once they get hit in the mouth

 

[Havic]

over aggressiveness got exposed.

 

[CTcowboy203]

You mean they aren’t doomsday 2.0 or 85 bears 2000 ravens level?!?!?!? Lol. Yes, the defense is NOT as good as we though

 

[mfiggs18]

Yeah that is what shocked me they looked horrendous

 

[CTcowboy203]

Losing Diggs didn't help

It didn’t but diggs not being out today isn’t the excuse for that abysmal defensive play

 

[stiletto]

If they continue to play like they did today it will be a 9-8 8-9 season

 

[nightrain]

Let's tap the brakes on doomsday II. They were bottom feeders today.

I'm looking at our opponents and maybe the Cardinals is the best offense we've faced thus far. Giants and Jets offenses may just be that bad.
