The Defense - What Gives?

  • I didn't think the D played that bad. Other than giving up rushing yards, which to me seems more by scheme than lack of talent. They only gave up 10 points when it mattered, with no offensive momentum at all. They got 3 turnovers. They put the offense in position to win the game on multiple occasions. The last 14 points will count against their stats, but those weren't on the D, especially following the muffed punt...

    Not sure the sky is falling. They played pretty well the past 2 games.

    If they sky is falling, it's falling on the offense... They are getting badly exposed...

    I agree that the defense played well enough for us to be able to win, but I still don't think they played very good. After all, it was against the Jags absymal offense.

    We got blown up on the line and gave a career day to Denard Robinson. Our coverage whiffed a few times that Bortles couldn't capitalize on, one in the end zone that he overthrew.

    Anyway like I said, they played good enough to win - but against one of worst offenses in the NFL.
