The points on Hurts first dumb pick are going to cost them.

Second pick also likely cost them points. He makes that throw it’s in the red zone

This still isn’t a top notch D. Bad tackling is still a problem and it shows most on running plays.

We need to bank on a blocked FG.

10 point error.

Time for a Jalen Carter or Jordan Davis FG block.

Yes, saving your players in preseason is awesome.

Genius move with a new scheme and new blocking scheme.

Their D will hit its stride in a week or 2. That's how it's been.

Bottom line is that the defense isn’t giving up many points, but the offense is scoring even fewer.

Same issues we’ve been dealing with for a few years now. Even during the Super Bowl run the offense was the issue and got bailed out by Barkley going yard.

In general, you are correct... but giving up that 3rd and 22 on a give up run was inexcusable!

Not sure if mentioned but one of our DB’s dove on Jalyx Hunt’s ankle on that 3rd and 20 yard run.

Offense sucks too. They're not mutually exclusive. Plenty of issues to address on both sides of the ball.

It was so obvious too. As physically dominating as the backup OL looked, you could see that no one knew what to do against blitzes. So how did the coaches figure we were fine there? Clearly the starters were also going to need reps to figure it out.

Yup

Same genius that accepted that penalty making it 2nd and 28 instead of 3rd and 23.

Hope you’re right of course, but I have my doubts.

It’s like 100 degrees there. I can’t fault anyone for this game.

Let's start scouting QBs. Draft 2027

I mentioned that earlier, and blankenship as well.

We would be much improved though with Trotter playing over Campbell.

Theres likely no fix for the safety spot.

With how quick they have been willing to move on from a clear issue in Dickerson at LG they should be ready to move to Trotter early next week if the run defense is a mess again against the Bears.

I agree with this, as frustrated as I am that the defense is underperforming they've only given up 20. I understand the jets held them to 10, but this offense should not be struggling to score 20 points against one of the worst defenses in the league.

Campbell is a big problem

Epps is a JAG not a starter

Those two are going to keep hurting them

Just insane defense can't get turnovers or sacks and are terrible against the run.

Offense can't run the ball ball and o line sucks great team this year

F that lame excuse

Jalen's game to win - can he atone for the 17 point swing as a result of his two picks?

Eh, agree to disagree.

There are small issues on defense. There are catastrophic, season crippling issues on offense.
