Our defense has given up 24 points outside of garbage time

never like it t o begin with

I’m betting he has less than 9 sacks on the season.

Did you watch the Vikings game today (there is a reason the last time they were good they had Keenum)? No way are they better than the Commanders. Same with the Packers. I will give you the Pats and Saints, but okay I will take a 14-2 record.

With this O we don't need the D to be top 5 but they need to be middle of the road or better come playoffs. Teams like the Saints, Rams, etc, that's who will be there... They need to get better. That's my opinion.

They weren't very good, even outside of "garbage time"

Sure, they haven't given up huge plays, but they also haven't provided reliable resistance

Based on stats through 3 quarters, they’re the #6 defense in the league and nothing in the 4th quarter has mattered yet.

There is no such thing as garbage time

Not with this coaching staff.

And the Eagles and Vikings (or some team from the North, they all have ****** offenses anymore), and the Saints and Rams don't have the best defenses either, so who knows.

Can we really get some perspective on this defense? I have never seen anyone complain so much about a defense that isn't really giving up that many points. Can they show some improvement, sure, but that is true of about any defense in the league so far. Let's stop being chicken littles about this.

it ALL counts..stop trying to lessen the obvious this D is out of sync right now.. needs a lot more work then the offense for sure.. this stuff agsint GB and NO wont fly they will make us pay..

3 scores up with 2 minutes to go = garbage time.

Our culture on defense SUCKS. Marrinelli SUCKS. I want him to be gone badly.

Okay, what is with giving the Packers so much credit, they have scored 31 points in 2 games (a lot of them on shortened fields because Mitch and Kirk suck). This isn't the Packers of 2015. We do know that right?

in two games we have had large leads, so the defense played prevent and giving up yards and couple of meaningless TDs......

there is definitely room for improvement. pass rush has to be a little better. run defense a little more consistent.....

So you are worried they will make a bonehead play but we will win the Super Bowl?

still a better qb will tear this d apart with nearly no pass rush,, thats all im saying if Eli and Case can move the ball , Rogers and Brees are putting up more...thats all im saying clean it up or get burned..

Agree 100%. People who use that excuse are losers. Winning takes every minute as important.

I hope so . As long as we win the SB .

OH and they played two really good defenses , yes the bears and vikes last year were om top in defense. go ahead be confident, im not Brees and Rogers will eat that up..MORE Pressure needed..maybe quinn helps..he gets Miami to knock off the rust..then the big ones start

So you would put Dak and Zeke in if we were up 35 points with 6 minutes to go?

I don't see alot of dog in this defense. But I want to see what they look like with Quinn.

 

[Wood]

No turnovers or sacks is the biggest issue i see.

I feel like we have to go back to Deion to remember DB who created turnovers. That is a long long time ago.

 

[Walker]

People need something to complain about, so they pick on the D on garbage time. No one can just enjoy the 2-0 wins.
