Now our defense needs to meet them half way!
The online played better after Lewan got his game legs going. The QB made a huge difference, but the line clearly got better. Go eat a Snickers, you’ll feel better.
Way too early for that.
This is true, but then you’d expect a splash play here or there on pure athleticism. I’m not sure we are seeing that. Hope I’m wrong on this, I’d love to be because a wasted draft class would just suck.
Same thing I just responded too, I’d love to be wrong on this. After 5 weeks though I’d love to see more contribution. Doesn’t seem like the rookies are playing any better. It was another article this past week floating around to us getting very little contribution from our draft class for what ever reason (bad decisions off field Wilson, Fulton not playing well, etc). I know it’s early, but hoping this class turns it around.
I think it's Logan Ryan.. He played all over the field and made everyone look better than they actually was.
As someone else had said, I think he was the QB of the defense.
I'll say the same thing that I said last time everyone here was griping about a win...
It is a weird season. Collect wins to make sure you make the playoffs and just hope you come together at that point. So far so good.

Do you know who you are responding to?
Sometimes you also need a little bit of a luck in a magical season.
Ain't no one gunna mention that AJ Brown TD? It was seriously iffy - that thigh/knee hit before the 2nd foot even annoucers kept saying it.
Go back to the Buffalo game, garbage time TD - Tanny looked a mile over the line of scrimmage before throwing - I know replay showed it a zillion times but it sure looked like his entire body was over.
Regardless, we will need more than luck and offensive talent vs Pittsburgh. Hardest test to date. Defense best be ready. :henry:

It’s the fact they had so little time. Preseason games are valuable for development and they had none. Probably toward the back third of the season you’ll see some improvement.
This. There is no bad win.
Adoree will make a big difference. You put him in the #1 WR and slide everyone else down to the next WR and your improvement is exponential. You improve all across the secondary. Also when you feel more confidence in your secondary, you can do more up front. A lot hinges on having your best CB out.
And the run defense improved a lot today. Improvement in the secondary and this team likely gets off the field in 3rd down a lot more. And that is where we are having the biggest issues.

This is true, can’t argue with that. The only argument I will say is that other teams are in fact getting some sort of contribution from their rookies we aren’t. So there’s something. Like I said I hope it’s just more time is needed.
wrong line of thought
the defense should not hang their hat on the offense playing a perfect game every week
they should be able to bail out the offense if there's a turnover.. instead it's an auto TD vs these scrubs
I think you missed the point entirely.
