Great start defense

pathetic.

No fight in this D. Just continues to get bullied.

That was fast.

If Flowers leaves this offseason we'll have the worst front 7 in the league

Running Flowers inside isn’t a recipe for his success.

Bill trying to drive down his value?

Wild card here we come

We do have the picks to immediately make this defense younger and faster

Meh. Have to actually hit on them. Especially the day 1 ones.

There’s more than 53 minutes left in the game.

The front-7 has been bad for multiple seasons, but it's been covered up by competent DT and an extremely talented and athletic secondary.

The competent DT no longer exists and the talented and athletic secondary is a year too old and has lost much of that athleticism and talent. D. McCourty and Chung are perfect examples.

A long game, but that was uninspiring.

Too many negative posts too early...

Itd be interesting to see what the % of drives that end in scores vs punts these days because while I know for a fact that the patriots are a ****ing atrocious defense.

The question is, who else is also on that plain because we cant win as many games as we do while given up this amount of points if other teams are also losing to us.

Weren't we excited and optimistic at the beginning of the year over the new Defensive co-ordinator?

Going to be a long day.....O better be ready to match scores on every possession or it’s over early.....just not going to be Pats year....BB has done “titanic” (the doomed ship) job with defense again this year!

It's all on BB. D is just poorly built

The game passes by every great coach that fails to realize their philosophy is outdated.

Get with the times Bill. You need some actual talent on D to win against offenses these days. Scheming doesn't by itself cut it anymore.

Bill the GM

Pretty nice wrinkle to go empty so often on the opening drive. Guess that happens when you get finally rid of Todd Haley. That being said Chung looked bad in the endzone and the run defense as porous as always. Just the first drive so lets see how things change until the end of halftime.

I got mad about 10 weeks ago.

Now, I reached acceptance.

The D is what it is. If the O does not score 40 today, we will be Wild Card Week End Fodder.

PAtterson lost 3 yards herw.

My problem with the D is many players are just going through the motions.

It’s not a question of motivation, it’s a matter of talent

The front 7 is absolute trash outside of Flowers
