They already play plenty of 4-3
No. We never play 4-3. We play nickel, that's 4-2-5. Not the same at all IMHO.
Not sure that's the issue though, we played well against the run so far. Pass rush is what we miss...

Preston Smith needs to be replaced in the line up if he's gonna be this poor at his job the first 2 weeks.
Fuck this guy seriously
He's been more productive than RK

I guess overreaction Monday has been extended eh
Week one: fans in wait and see mode
Week two: I’ve seen enough burn this fucker down
Lol. Wait n see after a victory over the lifeless Cards was fair. We waited. We saw. We saw a team get absolutely pushed around and man handled by a really bad defense in their own house. And this is year 4 for Gruden? So not exactly a rush to judgement. He has proven himself incapable of coaching in this league for quite a while imo.
If we lost a close one - even to a lackluster team than ok - it is the NFL. But we got our asses kicked all over the field by the effin Colts. Don’t bode well man.

I give Gruden credit - it's hard to keep a job in this league for 5 years of mostly mediocre football. 9-7 is his high water mark, and I don't see it getting any better this year.
Not when you come in on the heels of several other failed coaching staffs and a fan base clamoring for consistency and a quarterback finally coming of age (KC). We all knew he had some guaranteed time to turn it around. He hasn’t.

2 games down 14 to go, a lot of football left

It's not a must win, but I strongly encourage winning. Starting off 0-2 at home is no bueno. Also, the team needs to give away tickets or do whatever it takes to fill the stadium up with Skins fans. Game hasn't even started yet and I'm already annoyed by how many Packers fans are there.

Somewhat a function of the offenses we have faced so far. A significant test comes this Sunday -- a real offense comes to town. But the D overall hasn't been bad. Luck threw for 181 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. We ought to win (or at least be competitive) in a game like that. This week was all about offensive failings in my judgment. O-line was terrible, WRs were invisible, and play-calling/adjustments were awful.
But as Matty points out, it is early in the season. Losing at home sailing into the bye week would really be bad.

So after the game Trent Williams said something is wrong with his knee from surgery 8 months ago? are you fucking kidding me?
Tarik El-Bashir asked him and Silverback said complications affected his play Sunday.
Great
This is probably why we went tackle in the 3rd round. At this point of Trent's career he's always going to have something going on.

D was far from perfect but played well enough for us to win. 9 points at home against Indy is awful on so many levels.
