903 yards given up the past 2 games

This is total and utter bullshit.

This are not sustainable stats from an NFL defense coached by a defensive “guru”.

Plus…the Giants didn’t have their star WR nor did Santa Clara have their star RB.

This just hurts…..

Bro. Injuries.

Garbage coaching, garbage team, and no real reason for hope. That's Seahawks football!

It’s 900 yards in two games Bro.

 

[SeAhAwKeR4life]

Fully healthy we'd lose by one less touchdown and still suck. Excuses do not fly.

lol I was being sarcastic. The injuries are not a valid excuse.

The players on interior DL and linebackers overall are average at best.
Therein lies your problem

You bring up a good point about the LB’s.

Tonight they really seemed undersized…maybe it was just me but when a RB looks as big or bigger than the LB that is tackling him (Derrick Henry excluded) you got probs.

I don't think it's their size (a lot of teams are going smaller with LBs relatively speaking), they just seem to miss their run fits all the time.

I go back and forth because sometimes I'll see Baker really do something good but Dodson is off and then sometimes it's the other way. So perhaps it's more communication than anything? But they seem to play their way out of the gap they are supposed to be holding on running plays every other running play.

I haven't gone back to watch these guys intently to see, though, this is just the impression I get from watching in real time. (These losses are too painful to re-watch them getting run over like that.)

So when Pete had even longer stretches of terrible defensive play and numbers did you kill him for it too? Multiple seasons we started the year with near historically bad defenses numbers wise.

Let’s see if Macdonald can settle in and figure some things out.

He can't.

Our ILBs are a bottom-3 unit, at best. They've been playing like the #33 ranked unit the past 2 games. Not anywhere near NFL quality.

DO NOT watch last week's all-22. It's revolting. I don't even need to watch this week's to know it's going to be worse. The ILBs are atrocious against the run. Probably the worst I've ever seen in the NFL.

He wasn’t special until they got Roquon Smith. We should’ve gotten him.

 

[hugecanoli]

It was a really crappy 3-game stretch of losses in 10 days.

Thats a lot of losses in a small amount of time.

 

[cymatica]

He can't.

Since this is his first year as a head coach, I'm wondering what you base that on
