The defense

[Frosty]

Opponents above .500 (SF, Phi, Sea) ppg: 35
Opponents sub. 500, ppg: 13

It's no longer a question, that vaunted defense doesn't look the same against the better teams.

Typical Dan Quinn defense.... cant hang with the big dogs.....AKA.Choking in the Superbowl.....DQ is a JOKE

 

[CowboysDrew]

Played a bad game.

Tune in to Parsons' podcast to get the skinny!

 

[ak47kaehu]

3 games in 10 days......plus the cold/sickness has been going around the Defense. They looked sluggish and tired.......

 

[The Natural]

It’s not the defense-it’s Bland

He was the problem all
Night-really only problem.

We had 1 sack.

 

[Stak78]

Evidently Pete Carroll knows a thing or two about Dan Quinn’s game plans. It is so infuriating to see our pass rush nullified by soft coverage that allows so many quick passes.

 

[Heath]

Give credit to Geno. Dude played his *** off tonight. Lasers all over the field. We pulled out a tough, tough win against a team that gave us all they had.

 

[Playmaker3128]

And even when we got pressure he got rid of the ball

He was getting rid of the ball super quick. Reminded me of the jags game last year.

Quinn is gonna have to adjust or every team gonna do this

Front defensive seven played well. Smith was pressured on countless plays. He got it out quicker than earlier in the season and played a great game himself. The secondary most notably Bland got destroyed.

 

[aikemirv]

We had 1 sack.

Because Bland could not cover for 2 seconds!!!!

Just a reference
They scored 13 against the niners
6 of that was from the defense on a pick 6.

We aint even close to those guys, were it not for dak goin full romo we wouldve been blown out harder than then niners did to us

True yet the defense would lose the game for Romo in the 4th quarter and not make several key stops on drives despite underperforming. Wasn't there a game against Detriot where Stafford marched them up the field and scored a TD in under a minute without any timeouts to win the game! Comical.

Horrible performance. Lets just hope it was due to the 3 games in 11 days. Seattle’s defense was garbage as well and they had the same schedule.

This defense means one and done.
Hope they can right the ship.

 

[HungryLion]

I agree. I was telling dudes earlier today. They have alot of talent.

It can be argued Seattle has the best WR Corp in the NFL.

Seattle did the exact same thing AND traveled, yet made our defense look terrible.

 

[HungryLion]

The defense was as bad as I’ve seen them play in a long time.

Until the 4th quarter and they were great.

True , it was a bit surprising but still remember ( as some zoner pointed out )it is 3 games in 12 days , for D it is bit rough.

Still, DQ has a lot of things to work on in the next 10 days. credit to Seattle game plan and Geno playing lights out .

 

[Techsass]

They had some great splash plays, but forget about 3 & outs, we couldn't force a single punt.

Good point

 

[ryanbabs]

I don’t think enough people are giving Geno enough credit. He was very accurate and got rid of the ball quickly. Probably one of his best games ever. Glad we survived it.

In the words of the late Mike Leach, “Bland was too busy reading his press clippings all week….”……
