He better do that with the defense too, how can a backup QB run like Steve Young all over the field and make plays? McCown hasn't done shit his whole career, today the skins D made him look like an all pro.

But last week the defense held Dallas to just over 200 yards. This is a flawed team. One week the offense might carry the team and vice versa. Remember, as up and down as the defense has been, they scored AGAIN today.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, inconsistency and lack of adjustment. After 4 years of this type of D, a change is needed. They have the talent, are healthier than last year and yet look worse. I know London is showing his age but others need to step up. Last year, Orakpo, Neild, Carriker were gone for the year after the second game. This year they have depth with Tapp, Brandon Jenkins, Meriweather is healthy (he's a liability), got better corners and S ( same as last year). It would be nice to get Tanard Jackson back to help in that area.

Things are not bad enough to fire anyone (yet). Players and coaches need to figure things out and play more consistent period.

You think this defense has top talent? I don't.

What are they going to do at this point? There's no special teams aces sitting on the street or some genius coach who can fix things overnight.

First thing they need to do is add some speed at KR. Paul and Morgan struggle to get the ball past the 20 yard line.

We need to figure out if Chris Thompson can help us or not. he looked good in preseason but we gave up on him, not sure what Morgan brings to the table that Thompson doesn't. It's sad to think that we can't get a return past the 20.

I think we already have our answer on Thompson. Inactive again today.

He's a rookie. Gotta give the kid some time. But he certainly did not look like a natural returner.

Morgan brings ball security that Thompson lacks.

Otherwise they are similar:
Thompson 20.0 per kick return, 5.1 per punt return
Morgan 21.0 per kick return, 4.3 per punt return

Teams were a large contributor to the Dallas loss and good lord super close offsides penalty that could have lead to another loss after allowing another punt return TD...this is not "bad luck". Teams are aggressively coming after us on special teams out scheming and finding loop holes in coverage.

Its just really sad how bad we have been, so far looks like a bad hire from Shanny, this was a "his guy" hire. I would be looking around to do something or start spending serious time paying attention to teams.

I recorded the game and just got finsihed watching it.Hard to get a good read on the game because Im fast forwarding a lot.RG3 looked pretty good from what I could tell,he had the 1 int,but for the most part his passes were pretty crisp and his accuracy looked a lot better than last week.Need to stop the dropped passes and I wish they'd mix Helu in the mix some more.Defense looked good early but fell apart after Cutler went out.I think we win by more if Cutler stays in,he was not on his game today,even when he wasnt pressured his passes were off.
Cant believe we gave up another td on special teams,unbelievable

The reason why the Special Teams sucks and the defense is inconsistent is because of poor tackling. You can fire the entire coaching staff, but until players get more consistent with the tackling, things are going to stay the same.

I would say it is when all three phases execute.
