[Jerboski]

This defense is pathetic 

 

all that draft capital and money, and they are ***** trash

Both awful. I genuinely don’t know who is worse. They are both so bad. 

What’s worse is that the FO is good with how awful their safeties are.

3rd down used to be a positive thing 

Back in 2006 maybe.

Defense needs new coach with new philosophy or scheme

[SC STATE NUPE]

Taron has not looked good to me for about 2 years. He made that big play in the game against the Colts last year. But I routinely see dudes make big plays on him and in his area a lot…

[streetkings01]

Worst defense in the McDermott era! Bring back Leslie Frazier!

Defensive Coaching and playcalling  is a MASSIVE reason why 

 

That isn't a playcalling problem. That is like day 1 install. 

[Process]

The Falcons WR 2-5 in this game are the worst in the NFL. They have one WR above practice squad level. And we can't stop him lmao. 

[Delete_Delete_Delete]

Hopefully they promote Brady this year when McDefense inevitably costs Josh another chance at shipping it…

This defense is such an embarrassment to the blue collar city they represent.

Yeah it ain't the steel curtain.

[Bangarang]

We're letting a scrub like Penix look good. Let's just keep wasting Josh's prime years. 

[Big Blitz]

Assist, refs. 

[bigduke6]

youve got giant offensive linemen barreling downfield smashing into our undersized safeties opening lanes.  where is our defensive line making sure those holes get closed behind them?  cant expect Rapp and Bishop to shed those blocks and make plays.  also,  Bernard looks lost.

The defense is quite...offensive.

[Johnnycage46]

Are we allowed to panic now? Or will it  now be, "hey we're 4 and 2", "only week 6", "plenty of season left"?

[GolfandBills]

hahahahaha super aspirations.  I can’t stand watching this defense.  They suck in every aspect of the sport.  Allen will start pressing now and then it over.  Seen this script many times 

 

penalties

horrid play calling on offense 

zero defense

Defense is so fragile.  One thing goes wrong and they cave

[Urban Achievers]

I don’t even know anymore … McD, Babich, personnel, Beane? Likely all of the above. 

[Cray51]

Two TD drives kept alive by BS penalties.  And I’m usually not a fan of panning the refs, but this is getting stupid

[wppete]

At what point do you demote Babich and change this defensive scheme before its not too late? He has to go and McDermott needs to fix this now.
