Doesn't matter when the front 7 completely shuts down the run game, gives the QB no time to throw, Luke/TD are roaming in the middle and Norman has the #1 WR locked down. 

Get Kuechly/Star healthy and they can stick a Huddler at FS.

The qb had no time? What game were you watching?

A game without Lotulelei & Kuechly. The premise of that conversation is that even with those two back we aren't elite. Which is absurd. We held Jax to 9 points with a top 5 DT & arguably the best defensive player in the league on the sideline. 

Stick Kuechly in the middle of the field and Lotulelei clogging up the middle and it's a different ballgame. They were double teaming Johnson. Try that with Star/KK beside him and 330+ pounds is gonna be slamming your QB into the ground. 

 

Yes, I'm saying that even with Star and Kuechly, we have major holes at safety and defensive end. We are top 15. Maybe even to ten, but we are not an elite defense from what I saw today.

Awful is a very strong word to describe our safeties. I would describe them as average. When you get absolutely no pressure on the QB until the 4th quarter, they will definitely look average. But with a healthy Luke and Star, the front 7 should run in perfect harmony allowing our DB's to feast on shitty throws.

As many missed tackles and coverages they had today, I would say they looked awful. It was brutal.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
