Any reasonable person could see these first 3 weeks were going to be brutal for this defense. I thought they’d go 0-3, and said so even though you all said I was stupid for thinking that.
I did not expect the offense to catch fire this fast especially with the injuries at both tackles. This is the first time I’ve seen the offense perform that well without having a fully healthy OL.
Now the schedule really eases up before facing the Steelers. Should easily be 4-1 or 5-0 over the next 5. By then hopefully the injured guys come back and they get a handle on how to play the new system on D.
If you hate the way the team performed what did you expect to be better? DLaw didn’t adjust to the 2 point stance with just 3 weeks of training camp. Then he was hurt today but when he did play he was much better.
Jaylon? I’ll give you he looks lost. The safeties? Did anyone think they’d be great? Griffen? Aging vet without offseason work takes time to get going and played better this year than his first few weeks last year.
Without LVE and Lee, there’s nothing at the second level and then losing Awuzie and Brown leaves a rookie Diggs who’s been pretty good and nothing else. Lewis had 1 practice before getting into the game last week.
The team will be fine. No one should have thought before the game they’d actually beat Seattle. I thought they’d get blown out and still wasn’t alarmed. If they get blown out by the Browns, Washington, Giants, Eagles or Cardinals then you can freak out.
