We watched Michael Penix and Sam Darnold look like HOFers with Joe Whitt but fans want to say this when we get happy after showing improvement

  3. We were basically scout teams under whitt. I don’t know if the defense is “fixed” or not, but it’s way better then the slop I was watching for almost every game this year. Much less confusion for sure.

  4. At least Darnold is a good (albeit flawed) QB. Penix was a bottom 5 QB in the league and looked unstoppable against us.

  6. And now yall playing my Vikings, prepare to come out of the weekend thinking your defense is the prime Legion of Boom

  7. The team played much better as a unit last week. On both sides

    Maybe the bye did them good. Maybe the coaches had an extra week. What ever it was worked overall.

    The defense still isn’t fixed and once the season is over. The team will add more holes to its roster.

    With that said a couple small moves on the offense and hard focus on the defense. I think the team can be turned around in a offseason. AP just needs to make the right moves and no more adding aging players. The team needs speed and youth.

  8. It’s not mutually exclusive that the defense both is significantly better, while also being extremely propped up by the fact that the Broncos/Dolphins are running two of the most dysfunctional offenses in the league. Bo Nix’s Broncos looked absolutely horrid against the Raiders defense Mariota put 41 against, while Tua’s Dolphins looked the same way against the Raven’s pretty godawful defense.

    The Seahawks/Falcons offenses, while looking pretty ineffective now that they’ve been figured out, were just plainly better units than the Broncos/Dolphins when we faced them. Darnold/JSN had been looking downright unstoppable at that point in the season, and the London/Bijan combo can decide at any point to blow the top off of any defense when used right (it rarely is, but was against us).

    The defense will probably look pretty decent to close out the season. Vikings, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, that’s exactly 1 even half-decent offense lol. I think the Cowboys game will be the real test of if this defense has actually improved, or if it’s all just smoke against turbo-dogshit offenses.

  9. Against the Dolphins running to the outside was the only thing they were able to consistently do well. Against Denver they mostly exploited Wagner in coverage but didn’t do much outside of those matchups. The biggest problem with Whitt was we really couldn’t stop anything.

    We’ve looked a lot better the last few weeks with the biggest flaw being lack of pass rush for very obvious reasons.

  10. Why don’t you just delete fucking twitter. Why does it matter what literally one dipshit says on the Internet. Ignore it. Delete the app. Your life will
    Improve.

  12. If you know you know …..online trolls are weak , probably don’t get laid unless there are bottoms up and have bad breathe for sure

  13. talent disparity is massive even without counting the injuries of course its not fixed.

    it definitely looked better than whitts scheme though

  14. Maybe stop signal boosting every voice? Social media has given every idiot a blow horn, doesn’t mean you need to give them attention

  15. DQ can call a game. Witt was just out of his league.

    I wonder who he’s hiring for DC or if he will wear dual hats

  16. It’s not fixed. It’s just not dog shit, there is very obviously still talent deficit. Quinn has just done a better overall job hiding it

  17. I’d rather a fanbase that support our team when they improve as opposed to shit on them when they falter slightly

  18. He’s on my for you feed a lot and he’s just a generational hater on everything. He wants Quinn and Peters fired after the season. Just one of those accounts looking for clicks cause he’s probably barely a teenager and enjoys the interaction

  19. Its not even about coverage either. Sam Darnold can throw the ball to whoever is wide open, so can Bo or Tua. The difference is less better blitz packages called at better times, better choice in playcalling, better tackling, better communication, etc.

  21. This sub is filled with petulant little babies who need a constant place to bitch. There is always someone complaining in here about something, just ignore them lol

  22. Judging on the wrong scale. The defense still isn’t good, Dan Quinn has just improved them to the point that they look like they belong on the field.

  23. If you didn’t think Denver would blow us out, you’re a fucking liar.

    We’re improving.

  27. The problem with social media is the negative people are the loudest. Clearly schematically we have major improvements. Now we just need personnel upgrade
