Why did anyone think this defense was any good?
Triple team Donald and throw to the side opposite of Ramsey. Game over.

Cmon man thats Bs. We are getting completely outmatched on both lines and in the secondary todayBoy that weak PI call against us on our INT looms large now.
Yeah, other than the fact Dallas ended up getting a TD on that drive instead of us having the ball in plus territory.Cmon man thats Bs. We are getting completely outmatched on both lines and in the secondary today

9-7 may be better but not a good look for last years Super Bowl team - no playoffs. And like all the negatives you mentioned, 9-7 will turn into a 6-10 in no time.We go down two scores here, you can probably stick a fork in it and this season. I think we're looking at 9-7 this year, honestly, which is still much better than those 4-12, 5-11 years.
Problem is going to be that we're going to be in one of the toughest divisions in football for some time, barring some injury to Hags or Whiners QB. With the Whiners, and their running game and D, that might not even matter.
We have some serious concerns still on O line (center and LT especially, if Whit retires). This D, too has some holes - other than Donald the D line is mediocre at best, we need at least two more dominant lbs, and our secondary depth needs work, assuming that this is all we're getting out of Weddle and Christian.
With the cap and no #1s, it's going to be a challenge to stay at this level, and sadly, we're going to have to improve to be in contention.
