This place has lost its mind. Chris Jones was amazing in that super bowl against the 49ers and is a **** hair away from being the best interior defensive lineman in the game

He's going to look extra extra ordinary against the Rams.

Aaron Donald is going to kill Burrow.

I love Chris Jones as much as anyone, but the fact remains that in 9 playoff starts Chris has logged zero sacks, 9 PDs, just 9 tackles, and just 4 QB hits.

And while Chris did play the run reasonably well, he had Burrow in his sights, heck in his grasp multiple times today and failed to record a single sack, and just 3 tackles total. Now other defenders missed Burrow as well, but Jones had the most chances and Clark is paying him a metric ton of money to be that elite pass rusher first and foremost.

My point is that Chris needs to work on his technique. He's missing too many sacks when the guy is literally between his hands.

You have to give Burrow some credit for being elusive. And give Chris Jones some slack cause it seemed like he was the only one who could touch the mfer

We have I think the 2nd most money tied up on the DL...


There are probably 15+ DL's that are more productive, and certainly more intimidating.

Spags' D's have been bipolar his whole career.

Even though the defense, isn't the only reason we lost today, I think you have to change the coordinator.

I'd be more willing to give him credit if he hadn't been sacked NINE TIMES last week.

I didn't think that was accurate but holy ****ing hell. It is. He's been to the playoffs every ****ing year of his career. How the ****?

I think that really highlights what is wrong. Your highest paid players on the Defense (and it's a lot) were mostly invisible when in a huge game.

Jones is too emotional gets beat out of plays and he is lazy

Despite having only 1 sack, Joe Burrow was 21-36 for 233 yards, 2 Tds and 1 pick in regulation. They scored 24 points, with one TDdrive being on a short field after the 1st turnover. We would have all taken that this morning, and would have expected to win by 2 TDS if this was box score for Burrow. The Defense played more than good enough, the offense needed to score more than 3 points in the 2nd half, period.

All true. In spite of not being able to finish sacks the defense overall played more than well enough to win that game.

The offense on the other hand, spent their six 2nd-half drives doing this:

PUNT
PUNT
INT
PUNT
PUNT
FG

He’s like a muscle car after 1973, all show no go.

I think after scoring 42 the last 2 games it's ok for the Offense to be a bit off against great coverage.

Sometimes the Defense should actually earn their contracts in the playoffs?

True the offense was mainly to blame, but maybe the defense could win the game against a garbage o line.

We don't hide anything.
No stunts.
No camouflage packaging
