Everybody can ***** an moan about all you want. but it's not going to change. my biggest concern is Boswell. you need every point you can get, when your defense sucks.
 
Tomlin just said Hilton has a significant elbow injury. the worst secondary in the league just lost its only competent slot corner.

Sutton will have to step up....
 
No, Tomlin said he had a significant elbow.

I hate how he always leaves out what body part.

Haha
 
They had open receivers all over the place. We finally got bad Fitzpatrick. One half of good Ben beat him tonight.

Lol, Ben got the ball on 3 series including the last one in the second half.
 
The defense is what it is, but I'd like to see better effort and focus. Too many penalties.
 
Flaccid is going to lob deep balls all over next week and the majority of them will work.

Happened on the OOB tackle. Defender landed on his arm and it looked like it broke, because it bent the other way. Hopefully it's just a hyperextension, but if he has microfractures in the joint, he's out for 8 weeks.

and he had a great game too. smh
 
This defense is going to get passed and run on.. the thing they should focus on most to help prevent a ton of scoring is red zone defense.
If they can just hold teams to 3pts instead of 7 more times than not, that's all that is necessary with our offense.
This is how the patriots win games every year, their defense is never top ranked but they play great in the red zone.

It's already been confirmed it's a hyper extension, Hilton said he thinks he can play Sunday

Our offense not only has to overcome the opposing "D" but also our coaching scheme. WE SCORED ZERO POINTS THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF..!!!!




Salute the nation
 
Our pass coverage couldn't even stop jump balls. Just throw it up and you will come down with it hail mary style.

We never had the ball in the second half. We had 3 offensive possessions in the second half. Hard to put up points when your defense can NEVER get off the field.

Boz missed a fg, and we had two drive killing penalties by 78 I think

Boom or Bust defense. So far we've gotten: Wk1 - both, wk2 - bust, wk3 - both. That tells us that as long as its not bust, we can still win. Or tie. We have a legit shot at getting more than one tie this season.
 
Having Haden helps a lot, he can be left in an island, roll safety help on the other WR and the other S on their TE.

Keep Burns in man coverage with help over the top all the time, Bostic has been playing very nice lately either rushing or defending the run, don't ask him much more. Please never play the 2 DL front ever again

watt should be playing this much coverage and at times roll him back to the weak side
 
I actually feel pretty good about going against the Ravens on Sunday Night. Our divas live for the bright lights.
