They’re heating up at the right time and DC tends to call his worst games against HOF coaches (e.g. Belichick, Tomlin, Carrol). Obviously with Payton, DC’s coaching against a team lead by a likely HOFer and who he credits most of his success to. Their offense is also starting to roll and I’m not confident that ours can keep up.
Talk me down off the ledge?
I see these other games and they all get real good pressure on QBs. They do short check downs or screens in the middle of the field, someone is within 2 yds to wrap them up.
Our defense has looked sorry in last few games. This is how it goes: Front 4 hit a wall while QB makes their read for solid 3-4 seconds. Since everyone is in soft zone, they throw a 4-5 yds to their running back or full back and they go for like 5-10 YAC. Rinse and repeat until you get a field goal or touchdown.
