I think once the middle of the field stops being an open buffet after Berry returns we’ll be in better shape. Until then I will remain a fan and curse this insipid defense and it’s poor tackling.

Yeah, I keep forgetting to give the shit tackling its due credit.

I've gotten so focused on the poor zone coverage that I routinely forget to point out that the first guy ALWAYS misses.

I still think this shit is coachable. But if you're waiting on Berry, I really wouldn't. A blown achilles and now a perpetually sore heel? C'mon - this dude is damaged goods.

Hopefully is a disease that's benign enough to be cured by Daniel Sorenson and some continuity. Because if not, the patient's dying on the table...

Need turnovers

We do. I think they all went to L.A.

Sutton looked helpless in the second half. He was just guessing at what to call and guessing wrong.

Fire Sutton Now!

Worst D in the NFL- something needs to change. He is going to kill our season, no lead is safe. I will donate the first 10 bucks to start the banners flying!!

The players need to get better. Firing Sutton won't change anything, especially not this season.

I am sure you are right, he won't be fired.

I am tired of his inability to not close out games.

Sutton does these types of calls...

3 and 6 - he rushes 3 and drops everyone else back 10 yards

3rd and short- he rushes 4 and still plays back.

Leaves entire middle of the field wide open when we get the opponent needing more than 10 yards. Example... 15-yard penalty on the 49ers for chop blocking- Sutton brings zero pressure and leaves a 20-yard buffer from the line, so a little dump off becomes a huge play.

Sutton is the most Non- Aggressive Defensive coach I have ever seen. No pressure ever.

It's because we have a moron involved in the defensive scheme. How the hell do you give up a first down on 3rd and 26!

Because guys can't tackle. It has nothing at all to do with Sutton.

Sutton doesn't leave the middle of the field open. The players have to stay in their zones and make tackles.

I don't know how many times it has to be repeated but the scheme NEVER calls for guys to run wide open without a defender in sight. THAT'S THE PLAYERS, NOT THE SCHEME.

282 penalty yards is insane.

That has to be from that Pittsburgh Zebra game.

and why Andy said after halftime to EA question of "what's the plan for the 2nd half"? Andy's reply "Keep the hammer down!!!"

Andy knows he has no defense thus every possession we have must be perfect by scoring a TD especially against good teams because they will run the ball to keep PM2 on the sideline and will do a very effective job in doing so.

and they can’t stop 2pt conversions.

Dumb. we went into prevent and only rushed 3 and sat back at the first down marker. ****ing stupid!

Sorry man, there's not much for me to say if that's what you think.

If you seriously think Sutton's scheme calls for guys to let receivers run free for big gains, you simply don't understand what you are watching.
