That was only a few feet in front on Weaver....I think it was placed well if Weaver came out of the cut cleanly.

He was not set when he threw that that was the problem

You’re down 10 against the prolific scoring team you’re in their territory on a 35 yard line and you freaking punt WOW

Miracle

They hit face to face what else can you do that’s not targeting in my opinion but they’re probably gonna call it

It’s pitch and  catch

I wouldn’t of mattered if they had a 50 yard deal or an idiot field he needed to go for that

Going down two scores is going to end the game

Coach Scott still needs to grow in his on field coaching

So aggravating. Not going for there what does he think that  this teams not going to score 40 

also TM  needs to be more aware he had that first down to keep the drive going rookie mistake

They’re not even close in coverage

Tackling An issue once again in the secondary. When you can’t cover and you can’t tackle bad combination against a good passing It’s going to be a long day unless the office can do something.

Also would seem to make sense that the more pressure you put on a quarterback the less time he’ll have to find a receiver in the less time a defense of back has to cover. Pressure is always the answer to protect  poor pass coverage

Certainly the offense has been getting the most attention recently but looking at the defense here are my observations.

1. DBs cannot play man to man. When we shift to zone coverage teams start to run the ball down our throat.

2. The left side of the defensive side (looking straight from the QB perspective) is the strongest side. Run stoppage on the interior and exterior has been decent. The right side has been terrible.

3. The defense cannot tackle in open field. Constant problem since the first game. Tackling does not take place at practice on a consistent basis due to concern for injuries.

4. There has not been any exotic or hidden blitzes called. Indeed, blitzing has not been much of a game plan as it puts the already weaken DBs at risk. 

For this week: we should go after the QB as much as possible (1/3). The zone support does not work anyway so what the hell, put pressure on their offensive line. I would rather get beat going after the QB than getting beat playing soft.

I agree with all your points especially the last one. I would much rather attack & apply pressure  trying to make a play than sit  back and get pummeled. 
I do believe that one of the challenges they have is so many injuries on defense especially Defensive backfield that they’re having to play young players who are  just not physical enough to make those tackles.

Given the way this game started. Hard to be disappointed with the effort. Totally excited about how the offense performed and how they hung in there and battled back. Totally different than the last several years where they would’ve folded after being down 21 to nothing

they definitely need to find an answer on the fence whether it’s getting a bunch of players back from injuries or just better execution because  they were not very good

They need an apple turnover

Bad coaching decision no need for that at this time there was five minutes to play kick it deep see what happens

They needed to go off Tackle

Obviously they need to score 7 here

Still fighting. Needed a better play call on 2nd down

Only hope is a turnover as a defense of backs can cover me

That’s blanking terrible. They say their defense is undermanned but this is just brutal

Just not physical enough

Great call 

NOW PLAY DEFENSE 

That was a terrible no call. Clear as a bell should’ve been a penalty

They need to run that ball on first down. Now they’re behind the chains going to be tough

Statistically on offense not so bad but really bad defense. They made the comment that they only have 16 players on defense with so many injuries that’s exactly what happened to them last year I don’t understand why they didn’t address that

Wow that was really terrible they had them second and 20 bad tackling and bad defense they had a chance to get back in the game too bad hopefully they’ll get better
