[NoDak]

Probably a stupid question, but is everyone here still on the "fire the DC" wagon?
Has the defensive improvement and the turnovers given you any pause?

Yes.

No.

We still are pretty bad across the board. We've improved, sure. Against some pretty shaky competition.

Nah I still don't like him. The turnovers are better but hardly a result of great play calling or schemes.

Yes.

No.

The run defense is still epically bad.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

That's what I thought (about the D coordinator).

 

[NoDak]

Snow game in Lambeau.

I think it's pretty much a given we get a new DC next year

 

[Rev]

Yes.

No.

And questionable play calling by the opposing OC. Why the Eagles went away from the run is beyond me.

Snow game in Lambeau.

Hopefully it's a low scoring game (going vs Rodgers in my money league)

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Snow game in Lambeau.

It'll be a low scoring dogfight.
Advantage Titans.

Who'd you like to target for the job?

 

[data]

I don’t think Aaron Rodgers does well in snow, drops off more than others.

 

[jsmith6919]

Who'd you like to target for the job?

No idea yet, have to wait to see who's available

 

[DontCryWolfe]

Abused at various points, great at others, but Diggs having more interceptions his rookie year than Byron ever had with us cant help but bring a smile to your face.

And a pissed off Miami fanbase

Yep.
Nice to see him making some plays.
He's gotten better the more he's played.

Wilson stepping up as a legit safety is another upside to this year

 

[DontCryWolfe]

And a pissed off Miami fanbase

True, but I doubt anything can piss off those guys right now. Knocking on the post season door in the middle of a supposed rebuild, along with potentially the 3rd overall pick to show for it.

It certainly is 2020.

Yeah, he is looking like a nice SS/box safety.
Reminds me of a much more athletic Barry Church.

I think we got really lucky. When they got up 14-3 early I thought they could shut it down and run us off the field from there. Luckily they didn't and they panicked because their defense was so bad. Once we started to really score I think the Eagles offense felt the pressure to pass the ball.
