MacReady Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Can't have that late lead meltdown crap happen every week. It's bull****. No more touchdowns or I'm gonna be pissed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing with no energy whatsoever. It's like they don't even care. It's so disgusting to watch. I'm not sure if it's crazy or stupid... but certainly blindly obsessed... it's always Pettine's fault with you... MVS dropped passes today... it's LaFleur's fault you know! It's just asinine BS...

Defensive coordinators can’t be held accountable for calling crap halves of football or putting Will Redmond at LB. But if LaFleur put Bakhtiari in at receiver and Bakhtiari dropped a pass you might have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that quite a bit last year, and today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettine calls the plays and it’s Preston’s fault he can’t keep up with someone twice as fast as him. Right, Beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Loved that MLF ripped into the defense. Brought a little fire to them. I'm not making excuses for Pettine, but...here is what I think. No crowd noise. Advantage offense. Veteran QB...with no noise...large advantage offense. I think the offensive "script" and lack of noise is letting good veteran QB's identify the defense and get into the right play. To defend this, you almost need a stud, vet NFL ILB with hogs in front of him and a solid veteran secondary. Kind of like Prime Ray Lewis and his defense. When the offense runs out of it's script, it's now the defense's turn to flip the game. We did that against the Lions. I saw us run some zone blitzes when the DL dropped and covered the short cross. I saw us run some "trap" coverages. We got over to the trap a little late, but still, we were trying different things. And they were mostly successful.

Mr. Fussnputz Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 And Lombardi never chewed out his defense? Come on, this is what head coaches do. MLF is the HEAD coach, not the OC. He is responsible for both sides of the ball. If the offense or defense isn't playing well, MLF needs to chew them out, not the OC or DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively, we are led by Z, right? Fiery. Great player. I believe we need another guy to step up and lead that unit. Should be Alexander. Take the blinders off of him and just turn him loose, on the field and in the locker room. Let that swagger wash over the club. King is softspoken, I think Amos is as well. I don't get "fiery" from Kirksey. Clark is quiet. We need another alpha to just step up and challenge every one on that unit to be better every play. Let Z take care of the front, Let Jaire take care of the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think the "no fans" thing is really hurting defenses in general. Hard to find your own juice and defense has a big emotional element. We definitely played with more fire on that side of the ball to start the 2nd half.
