How bad is our defense?

I know the offense was bad (attributable to poor offensive line play), but when you surrender 7-8 min long TD drives, and can't force a punt, its on the defense.

I'm not yet ready to throw in the towel for the season until the Dallas game. If we lose to Dallas, that's 0-3 in the division, and 0-4 in the conference, which sadly means no playoffs.

The D has regressed every season since 2004. In 2004, we were exceptional. In 2005, we were good (and finished the season strong). In 2006, we have been plain bad. As well as Lemar Marshall has played for us, I think letting Pierce go was a big mistake. Think of what the linebacking corps would've been with Washington, Pierce and Marshall.

A win against Tennessee at home, but this secondary will be eaten alive in Indy. 3-4 going into week 8 is not bad at all, but after that, we need to clean out everybody in the division to have a shot of making the playoffs.

i honestly think GW's game plan wasn't too bad... i know everyone wants pressure all the time, but Manning is extremely good under pressure. i think the secondary would have been even more exposed today had the safeties and backers blitzed. the score would have been worse than it was.

i think this loss is bigger than last years versus the giants

Our defense interiorly is weaker, slower and undersized in anymatchup vs. OL.
There are so many discipline problems with the D- I am embarassed to be a supporter of the colors. As I have said before this Defense is Vaginal (our offense is impotent).
Instead of adapting to our weakness' GWilliams would rather carry on as if we are fully intact and as ruthless and intimidating as ever. THAT IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ANALYSIS of WHY OUR PHILOSOPHY CONTINUES with such aggressiveness.
This team needs and F'N should have known from day 1, "Springs is out" sorry we can't blitz and take chances in 1 on 1's. Why is that?, b/c we just brought in Wright, Fox, Doughty, Archuletta, Rumph and other average/below average talents who have to learn our style,language, and presence. They arent even better tacklers than Springs or Prioleua. Im just upset that they are putting a team and gameplan they call "competent and able" when it is "disgracing and self destructive"
Why arent we switching to a 3-4 in more packages??? Let our LB cause disruption, DL isnt!, where is Rocky? I would like to see our LB even drop back into coverage. If this teams DL will not get to the QB on their own, then why are dismantling our coverage to make up for that??
It seems evident that we should force teams to run (our strength) and not send so much pressure-- It is taking us out of the game leaving responsibilities to guys like Wright/Rumph who need a Chaperone on every play. Sure leave the most unreliable guys back there to guard the 1st down or endzone.
Unbelievable, this team is coaching itself out of games and away from progressingto being a consistent unit.

The answer for next year has to be 3-4. I just dont understand why have an extra ineffective DT on the field (ehem.... Salavae ty)

Score would have been worse had the Giants needed a reason to score or felt threatened by us at all. Instead, they kept it simple and within their element of comfortability, took no risk, and stayed in the game and ahead.

Tackling today was enough to today to strip any hidden pride harbored in the defense to be vanished for the remaining of the year.

I would feel better if the team issued a statement when reality hits that playoffs and beyond arent happening this year. Instead they lose and Fuck it up and let their actions do the talking.

I am giving up, my Sundays are gonna be better spent not watching these games.

When is Rogers going to catch a damn ball. I have never in my life seen a corner consistently drop so many passes that have hit right in the damn mits!

It's getting old, week after week!

Had he caught that the tempo, attitude, gameplan of both teams, and mometum would have been in our favor. Way to rise to the occasion Redskins.
Typical fashion has returned of not seizing the moment to put ourselves in better places to win.

It's hard to find any positives I know, but how about Taylor stripping Tiki of the ball trying to make something happen? He did his part there, if a teammate jumps on that ball it's a whole other ballgame

2nd time he's done that this season. amazing to watch. sucks we couldn't capitalize in either game. its what happens when you're surrounded by career backups Wright, Rumph and yes Rogers.

How bad is our defense?

VERY BAD...enough said
