Even if ball was tipped up in the air, that's the extra half second to make it 00:00If Sanborn turns around that's a game-ender.

We are plucky. I like the offense. I hate the defense but at least they started to show some ability to not get torched every play.Ok, so do we suck or not?
I think Pickens will always be a somewhat unreliable airhead, but this team is kind of devoid of young talent and Pickens is one of the few Pro Bowl-caliber guys on the roster.We should re-sign Pickens.
And now that Sanders is hurt, hopefully that means we can finally see the Williams/Blue 1-2 punch.
I think we're probably an 8ish win team, does that mean we suck?Ok, so do we suck or not?
Any hope the defense figures shit out at some point? Like Bland and Diggs get up to speed, Overshown comes back? Maybe sign Gardner-Johnson?I think we're probably an 8ish win team, does that mean we suck?
We could easily win 10-11 if the defense was just league average, instead it's one of the worst defenses this fucking organization has had in the last 20+ years.
I doubt it, everything is just so disjointed and off, from the coverage to tackling in space to poorly designed/timed blitzes.Any hope the defense figures shit out at some point? Like Bland and Diggs get up to speed, Overshown comes back? Maybe sign Gardner-Johnson?
I could see it at least getting somewhat better kind of like last year as the players and the DC adjusted.Any hope the defense figures shit out at some point? Like Bland and Diggs get up to speed, Overshown comes back? Maybe sign Gardner-Johnson?
I mean they did get the Packers to fourth down in overtime. Sort of the shitty part of getting the ball first. You reverse it and the Packers are punting.I doubt it, everything is just so disjointed and off, from the coverage to tackling in space to poorly designed/timed blitzes.
They'll probably play better at times, I think you saw little glimpses of it tonight even with some better coverage downfield and a bit more pressure, but I don't think you'll ever be able to really count on them even against average offenses.
They also let them score on 4 straight drives prior to that, I'm not overly impressed by them forcing a 4th down for the first time in 2.5 quarters.I mean they did get the Packers to fourth down in overtime.

Messed up how they almost automatically converted 4th and 6 and it only got there because they spent other downs trying to go deeper.I mean they did get the Packers to fourth down in overtime. Sort of the shitty part of getting the ball first. You reverse it and the Packers are punting.
I want to have hope they will get better. You see glimpses of improvement. EZ made some plays. The pass rush was actually a lot better. But in the end they still just don't cover too many people.
I mean ultimately I know you're right.They also let them score on 4 straight drives prior to that, I'm not overly impressed by them forcing a 4th down for the first time in 2.5 quarters.
Like it was previously mentioned, they'll probably improve a bit as the year goes on but we don't have one of the best edge rushers in the league anymore, so I'm guessing it'll usually be varying flavors of shit.
The running game in particular is impressive given the talent, or lack thereof, and I attribute it mostly to the coaching (Adams and Riley primarily).Sucks the defense is so bad. Because I actually feel very good about the offense finally. They actually look multi dimensional. And of course we can't even put together a respectable defense.
