Same Old Defense

[reddyuta]

extremely bad safety play,sad part is there is no hope on the horizon.

Nah, this defense is elite. Check the training camp tape.

Jaylon looked awful. I'm really not sure what you guys are seeing. He's tentative and avoids contact as much as possible. He is the exact opposite of what you want from a Mike.

People keep hyping him up when he is not good. It's all about this "Feel good story" aspect. Jaylon is a huge liability on defense.

I don’t critize wins, and the Lions receivers made some spectacular catches.

But...

The defense doesn’t make enough plays. Going forward, I don’t see playoffs.

And they threw some fantastic, on target passes

Let's be honest too.. "We" are the only ones responsible for making it a close game. Many more offensive mistakes again

I don’t really disagree, but the offense bailed out the D today — when we needed it.

Overall, a gutsy win.

 

[CWR]

A few individual highlights, but where are the stops when you really need them... or the takeaways?

Deja vu all over again.

Man those WRS made some plays today and Stafford was really good. Lions have a lot of talent. No excuses, I just didnt expect to manhandle them.

True but Detroit gave us plenty of help with questionable coaching (especially their final drive), injuries and penalties. They shot themselves in the foot a few more times than we did IMO.

Give me a break. Same ol’ because they gave up some points to the Lions? Please.

I agree. The old defense probably gives up 35+ today.

Yes, I said that. But, you have to offset their great plays with some of your own—interceptions, strip sacks, passes defensed on third down.

We need a Pro Bowl Safety....

Where can we get one...hmmmm

Save the picks get him after the season.

 

[JayFord]

I said before i dont trust this defense further than i can slingshot a horse and people told me i was trippin

Deja vu all over again.

Can you say Earl Thomas should have been here! Shaky secondary

 

[exciter]

The draft!

 

[Mobinvans]

The draft!

I'm all for that too

Yiu know we don't draft safeties...lol

 

[Garrettop]

Safety play safety play safety play. But Stafford and the receivers were on point. You couldn't cover any better than Awuzie was doing on some of those plays. Just good passing game.

HMMMMMM DEFENSE DIDNT PLAY GOOD LETS SEE WHY IS THAT BCUZ SEAN LEE DIDNT PLAY DUHHHHHHH PPL THE FIRST PLY OF THE GAME 20-30 YARD RUN I KNO JAYLON SAID WEN Lee is out etc etc it's his defense WHOAAAAA JAYLON I LOVE U N UR STORY BUT NOT JUST YET ITS A REASON WE CALL HIM GENERAL LEE

 

[Proof]

Receivers for Detroit made great catches even when blanketed, we got to Staff a couple of times, except for one blown coverage I'll take it

Seriously. Chido was getting torched despite playing really good coverage. Crazy.

Was Byron even targeted ?

 

[cern]

They did enough to win. That's different
