JSSkinz Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Firing Ron won't happen but he has to get a grip on this defensive issue.Β Shawn Springs was just on the radio and his comments were that the team needs to admit they cant get home with 4 and adjust their scheme, until they do don't expect anything different.

SB17 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Sorry to say, but this defense will not suddenly get significantly better when Chase Young comes back. Β It might get marginally better, but thatβs it. Β So, what you see right now on defense (allowing opponents to convert 3rd-and-longs to 1st downs; opponentsβ WRs abusing the linebackers and secondary; no sacks; no turnovers) is what youβre going to get for the rest of the year unless the team gets rid of JDR now.

I donβt expect anything different, as long as Snyder owns this team. I can say βMaybe thatβs a whole βnother discussion we need to have,β but everyone is pretty much in agreement there. Still doesnβt change the issues on this team that ultimately are either Ronβs responsibility (his coaching staff) or his fault (his personnel decisions). He hasnβt change a single thing and you can argue heβs weakened the Defensive personnel and the O-Line.Β Β Weβll see during the season how Detroit winds up, but that Offense looked like Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle playing against the β85 Bears. That display wasnβt JDRβs fault. The whole staff needs its severance.Β Β I canβt put 100% credence in that 27 points when I donβt know the Lionβs attitude coming out of the half. Did they decide to coast in a three-score game? I donβt know. I can guess it would be easy to be lulled when the opposing Offense took almost an entire half just to get a first down. The game became functionally out of reach when Ron decided to go for two when he didnβt need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @ntotoroΒ the Lions couldn't cover our talented WRs, we jus didn't have an answer for the pressure in the first half (figured it out in the 2nd). Β I hated him going for two there as well...buy then Slye missed the extra point, so he may know something we don't (like he's looking for a new kicker) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Today was a bad day for Rivera, no doubt about it. Β Easily his worst performance as head coach since heβs been here. Β All 3 phases had zero juice in the first half. The unnecessary two point attempt. Zero urgency approaching the 2MW. Joey Slyeβs inability to make XP. Β That said, I wouldnβt take issue with him firing JDR, with that unnecessary all out blitz being the nail in his coffin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few teams can hang with all three. Just canβt get the ball to them, between the O-Line giving up pressure and Wentz flatlining in passing plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redd Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The linebackers and secondary, and dline(at times) are killing this team. Finally got an offense that can put up points negated by a defense that gives up even more points.Β Β A lot of it is on the coaching staff. A lot of it is talent that Washington is terrible at fixing and evaluating.π Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan93 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Talk about overreacting! Β So many guys want to fire any of the coaches after one game. Weβre 1-1 in a 17 game season. If we finish with 5-6 wins then itβs time to reevaluate but cmon.Β Β We lost to an up and coming team who has scored 35 points or more in 3 straight games. Should our defense be better. Absolutely but maybe a game like this will get some guys going. Glad to see Jamin step up today and we should get Curl back next week which allows us to do some different things with Forrest. We do need to get rid of Mayo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just look at the yards, completions, scoring, etc. you might think that. However, if you look at the missed throws, interceptions and especially the sacks, he put the team behind before we ever really had a chance to get into the game in the first half. Certainly he can't be blamed for the defensive problems, but he was classic Wince, in that he gaveth and tooketh away. This was a week in which he tooketh away more than he gaveth. That's just the player he is. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
