Very hard on them but for the most part they keep teams from scoring a lot of points. Although they get run on early and late.

If you just looked at the stat line from Sunday's game you would have thought the Cards got throttled. How we won that game is a complete mystery. There's no excuse for your defense to have to spend 2/3 of the game on the field. That's insane.

Bend but don't break defense and have kept up in the last 3 games. With any kind and I mean any kind of production from the offense we should be 3-2

Guys actually complaining that they can't get off the field yeah cause there gassed by halftime.

When you get five turnovers, taking one of.them in for a score, and give up.none, its really hard to lose. And we just proved that.

We got 6 turnovers against the Bears on the Monday Night Meltdown and found a way to lose. That said, how many games do you think we'll get 5 turnovers? And how many games do you think we win with the defense on the field 2/3 of the time?

Mike McCoy is the man.
He’s the Bill Davis of offense.


Funny, Bill Davis is coaching LBs at Ohio state and the lbs are being killed for the big plays allowed by the OSU defense this year.

Why do bad coaches keep getting jobs, even as a step down?

I said the same thing that McCoy is the offensive Bill Davis.

I was talking about that one game, not as a strategy for the whole season. the game was a fluke. Just like the Bears game was, but in the other direction.

I think we will win 3, maybe 4, games.

I hope you're not going into each week expecting to win. Not this year guys. 3-4 wins, top 5 pick, develop Rosen, Kirk, Cole, Nkdemiche into players. Find a coordinator that works with our personnel instead of square pegging.

I said this before. We need Lincoln Riley as HC ....he is starting to pick up a little steam but he is an offensive guru . This coaching staff sucks. If we had anyone else we would be 3-2

If Wilks loses the locker room this may happening ... but for sure wilks isn't that great of a HC and our OC is really bad.

OK. How many games do you think we win with the defense on the field 2/3 of the game? Because we certainly aren't going to get 5 turnovers a game.

Do you mean +5 turnovers isnt sustainable. You are one of those "analytic" dudes.

It's been several days since the last game so the pain has faded so I'm going into positive koolaid mode.

CJ hands Wilks a ball on the sidelines as the game ends. That's a sign that the players are still on his side.

As horrible as the offense has been they did score 21 points which is respectable.

The defense forced 5 turnovers and refused to lose. Even though the run defense sucked that can be fired.

The biggest issue is getting stops on 3rd downs so the time of possession is better and the offense gets more opportunities.
