They deserve a lot more love than they are getting. Both on this forum and in the media in general

Yep the front 7 is balling

Russell didn’t have first down till middle of the second quarter! lol

Offense needs to put some point on the board and the defense will provide

They played with the level of intensity and finished plays the way they did against New Orleans. That was a clinic against what I believe was a top-10 scoring offense.

Let them keeping hating and pumping up other teams... I’d rather be the under dog/choking dog.. this team feels like their living off it

 

[Killerinstinct]

The defense is inspiring and a young group as well. Heck this whole team is young and talented.

They do great until the Prevent Defense rears its ugly head.

The defense forced a lot of 3-and-outs. They played great.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Those three 3-and-outs to start the game were epic. I just wish our prevent was better. Too many late TDs given up to keep games closer. But overall no complaints. They're still young and should get better. And that wolf call...

 

[Klingo3034]

Yeah they shouldn't have been slacking until its over. Shouldn't have allowed that touchdown drive in final minutes.

Exactly. It seems like Byron is a shutdown man corner and a below average prevent zone corner.

 

[kevm3]

I have no idea why they play prevent at all when they clearly see it doesn't work. How many easy scores do we have to give up at the end of games playing that nonsense?

Double like, and underrated nerdy comment.

Bad play recognition, bad ref calling, and youth. We're just getting started. Teams will hate this defense next year!

Woods and Collins were playing very well together in the first half, hopefully Collins is healthy for next weeks game.

I really feel a good defense even average gives you a shot in games. LVE, Jones, and overall improvement in the secondary has been amazing this year. I've been very happy as a fan to see the progression. Big reason why we won a playoff game. Lucky to get one at all (thanks Amari) but they were awesome in the actual game.

Team is still too relaxed with a TD lead for my taste. You're up 10, opponent who has done next to nothing has no timeouts, no kicker. Don't stop doing what you do! If you get beat you get beat. Stop with the shell coverage or whatever that was that allowed Lockett to get open by 15 yards.

Instead they are in the endzone in less than a minute and converting 2 point conversions. Happens everytime we go up by more than one score. This can't happen. It has to be emphasized to stay in the moment every snap.
