Arnold the most glaring problem through two games. Every big play the defense has given up early has been on him. Odunze this week and Doubs last week were kiliing him until he got hurt. These aren’t elite guys he’s getting burned by


It’ll help when Alim and Pascal come back but they need one more legit pass rusher. Tyleik had pretty good game with two batted balls. Hopefully Davenport injury isn’t serious :snoop:

Laporta kind of the lost man in this offense.

Ravens are beatable next Monday. There defense isn’t what it used to be

I've seen more good than bad from him. He's significantly better at coverage and run defense than last season, so far. Some busted plays including that ugly one where he fell for a double move despite playing far off the ball. I'm not worried about either CB tbh. I'm worried about pass rush until Alim returns. Hutch played great yesterday, Muhammad and Davenport played well. Tyliek getting some batted balls is nice. Seems like he's getting closer and closer to improving at rushing but that interior pressure really needs to improve if this defense is gonna be good.

They got the win they needed but the bears gave up after that late td in the first half. Before that they was moving the ball and getting stops and there was not enough pressure on Caleb.

They got a TD on their scripted opening drive, same thing they did against the Vikings. Then they got a TD on a short field after the kick return penalty. Outside of that they didn't do jack shyt in the first half. Honestly the only criticism I have is that we should have scored 60. Didn't capitalize off that (amazing) forced fumble from Branch, and then missed a long FG on the following drive. After that we scored on every drive until the final garbage time possession.


These guys do some cool o-line vids and this shyt was just a beat down. Penei, Mahogany, and Decker look great. Glasgow serviceable. Looks like Ratledge made some plays, struggled in others but overall was much better than last week.

The Ravens are probably gonna score 30+ on every team they play this season. Only way to beat that is to outscore them, and the only way that happens is if the o-line dominates again. Good news is that Baltimore's defense is struggling. Cleveland ran the ball well on them last weekend, and the Bills did whatever they wanted the weekend before.

First half was a back and forth game. And the lions was able to take advantage of the bears mistakes because they are Terrible. But if you choose to to ignore there being no pass rush until the game was over and the bears holding their own before quitting then that’s on you.

Lions won’t be in a dome, we’ve struggled with mobile QBs, and Lamar is 24-2 against the NFC.

We might lose for those reasons and it shouldn’t be an indictment on the rest of the season.

Breh Marcus Davenport played 3 games with the Vikings a couple of years ago had like 4 sacks and was out the rest of the year

Get used to him being injured he can’t get right

First half ended 28-14 man. Their first half drives went TD, punt, fumble, turnover on downs, INT, TD. And then they didn't score in the third quarter. I'm just saying...that wasn't back and forth, that was a bad team getting whooped.

I agree pass rush isn't good and am concerned the plan seems to be "wait for Alim." Muhammad looks good, Davenport played well but might be hurt. It's not enough though.


It's early but yea...I'm tired of this defensive philosophy. At least we're running more zone than under AG but none of this works if you don't have consistent pass rush or waves of bodies.

Lions crazy schedule already starting to look softer.

Ravens have alot of injuries going into Monday night. No Burrow for bengals. Chiefs don’t look good. Daniels already banged up for Commanders. Bucs might be best team they face before Philly.

They won but Philly doesn't look right either (Jalen Carter looks flabby as fukk). And while the Vikings beat up a bad Bengals team they are not good either. Record is never as easy or hard as it looks.

Bucs look great but they're starting to remind me of us last year. Already three massive season ending injuries.
