Our Defense is not what I thought they were

[Hawkeye0202]

Plays they got beat by were just a few really nicely drawn up coaching calls to take advantage of us when they really needed it. Got them two TD's and a couple of big first downs.

I agree but their two WRs, TE, OLine, and Hurts running ability can create mismatch issues for any defense. But I think we are one of the few teams with defense personnel that can match up well with them. As stated before, I think the level of their talent caught Quinn off a bit last night but I'm pretty damn sure we'll be more prepared for the second matchup.

These clowns act like Philly ran for 300 yards on us. They ran 39 times for 135, 3.5 YPC. Our offense had them on the field all night on the road against a very good O-line and offense.
Our Defense had a chance 20-17 to make a major stop, they didn't.

They're not perfect against the run but improved, they're a piece or two away nobody is debating that

How so? The defense played incredible. Your not going to shut down a great team like that. Especially with 3 picks giving them momentum and field position. Only real talent I saw shine on offense was AJ Brown breaking some tackles and making nice YAC.
