Seriously.

5 turnovers.

The run defense needs work, but if the offense can get going early and get a lead, the defense will be the best in the league.
5 turnovers and only 24 points is concerning

That was fun to watch. This defense will keep us in nearly every game.

we’ve been dreaming of a defense like this for 20 years
what would have been the result of the 2014 or 2016 season if we had the 2022 defense to complement the offense of those years?

0 touchdowns.
micah parsons ran 22 mph to chase down the tight end otherwise they would have

I love a win . But if feels like a commodores game . Bottom feeders . The Bears should be disposed of as well like the paper caught under your shoe at a rest stop . Let’s see the Pokes follow the bye with road wins in Minny and GB and won’t MM be happy to send DQ on a hunt and destroy Rodgers game then face the Giants at 8-2. .

It was a 1st half vs. 2nd half game.
All turnovers came in the 2nd half. They got points on some of them. The last one was a run out the clock situation.

They got the points when it counted. Don't try to make it as you want to make it.

The defense is the heart and soul of the team.

About time. Been waiting for this for over 20 years.
A defense that I can trust to close out a game, and / or take it over.

Used to be we had a lead, I never trusted the defense to keep it. Now we can.

I don't see how we are going to be able to get that stud DT we need picking #32 next year...:D

That’s why teams like the Rams and 49ers trade their first round picks. Because a good team is going to pick later and if you have a window to win a title you are best served by stretching the window for a title. Eventually you will have to pay the piper but that’s deferred.

It is what it is, nothing to do with what I want.

We had 24 points against the worst defense in the league, with 5 turnovers. We had 3 points in the first half. Which part is me making anything as I want it?
