Our defense...

[stankowalski]

While McCown completed a high percentage of his passes the defense still only allowed 16 points and 70 yards rushing with a 2.9 ypa average.  So while it was not a great day defensively, it's not as bad as some may make it out to be.  

[Jackofalltrades]

No pass rush against a patchwork OL, poor tackling and too many open receivers. A doofus at QB was insanely efficiency and moved the ball at will. 

It was as bad as it looked and it needs to be fixed, now.

Having Kuechly will help with a lot of that.  I saw a few plays today where it looked like Klein was either late getting in position or just not there at all.

Thats not good also when you LB has to constantly  cover the misake for other players. Defense needs to regroup after this game ASAP.

I'm more worried about the DL.

Klein didn't cover for anyone's mistakes...he was making his own.  Which was why I said that having Kuechly back in there will help out quite a bit.  Only thing that really worried me was the anemic pass rush.  But still we only allowed 16 points.  Could it have been better?  Absolutely, but I'm not panicking yet.

Was Thomas Davis injured at the end?

Stinger.

Was Thomas Davis injured at the end?

Would like to know that myself.  I thought he missed a few plays but didn't hear what happened with him.  If we have to go without him and Luke, I'll cry.

Once again we struggle against an inferior qb and one of the worst o-lines in the NFL

it was bad,tbh if luke doesn't try norman in the end who knows how this game would have ended,they were moving at will on offense, D line was getting pushed around all day, pass rush was non existent even with blitzes,they did a good job of picking them up, and the saints run game wasn't that bad either.

 

when you have as much draft picks and FA's invested in the defense they shouldn't perform like this consistently

I don't know...top 5 is pretty good.

...I dont know why we make these total loozer QB's look worth a sht but we do...where were the exotic blitz's...where was the the heat?...pisses me off and if we are going to the next level we have to tweek that sht..

[Cpt slay a ho]

you believe this defense at this rate can stop teams like the packers and falcons?

 

when we are top 5 vs good qb's i'll be more happier

People are going to get tired of me but w/e...it's the absence of Hardy...

Some people brushed his absence off like it wouldn't matter but yea it does....and we had a losing record last year for the "what about last season" folks....our DL sucks nuts when we have our DT lining up at DE to try to manufacture pressure.(KK)
