OTHER than what the d-line was doing to Teddy and what Hayward was doing in coverage, I didn't like much about our defense yesterday. I credit ALL THREE INTs to the pressure on the QB rather than any ball-hawkin' DBs.
Teddy was pretty much owning us, 334 yds and 3 passing TDs. THAT kind of stat line for a QB will usually get a team a win. And the fucked up part is, WE NEVER BLITZ!! So there are ALWAYS 7 guys out in coverage! How the hell do we allow TEDDY to hang that many yds on us??
Not to mention we were giving up 5 ypc and some BIG plays on the ground. We're lucky our offense had these fools playing catch-up the entire game or they could have just run us into the ground.
Here's another question: How many times did our defense get off the field on 3rd and long? Seriously, how many LONG fucking first downs did we allow? That's some embarrassing shit man! And they need to mothball the FUCK out of that play where they drop everyone back to the sticks to try to stop a first down on 3rd and long, because that NEVER works.
Once again: D-line and Hayward ELITE. And that will get you some wins - until your stars go down. But many other areas need a lot of work.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
