The problem with "just get me 2 stops a game" defense is that it requires our offense to score a TD every possession. That's not realistic despite the talent we have on offense.
This defense has to get to the point to getting at least 2-3 stops a half on a fairly consistent basis. They don't have to be dominating types of stops either. Force a punt or at times a FG. But you can't do it while allowing the other team to run off 6 or7 minutes of clock every time. Or let another team go 75 yards in 3 plays.
We cannot continue to live with 2nd and 2 or 3rd and 2. The defense has to start playing on the other side of the line at least some of the time. Right now we play on the other side of the line maybe 3 plays a game.
This defense is just completely ****ed.

We beat the Bills in the AFCCG.. It was good enough.. Just now Jones is hurt and out of position, a stubborn a coach playing a guy who isn’t a every down player.. Plus a schedule with final four playoff teams..
