I asked the Washington Football Team and they suggested "Indianapolis Defensive Unit".

Now that’s funny, well done!

[NannyMcafee]

Just call them all "The Maniacs"

It's all relative.  A defense doesn't have to shut down a really good offense in order to positively affect the outcome of the game.  Merely slowing them down is often enough to do the trick.

 

But that's why the offense is going to have to do its part in putting points on the board.  We're going to need more Red Zone TD conversions than we got against the Bears if we're going to win -- 19 pts. probably wouldn't get it done against a Top 5 offense.

Like I said, doubt we do it. I'll be happy with a win. I do want to see the O be given a chance to be more creative. I think they will have to be.

That's just it. We know its early, and we know our rankings will change sooner than later. Which is why we need a name before we're exploited by the better offenses.    

 

Btw, I'm liking Blue Steel, Blue Wave so far. Lol

It’s way too early but I’ll play along.  How about the Cover Blue?   Mike drop. Lol

You mean the one that only gave up 23 points to a team that had been averaging 40pts/game? While not having their best player.

[EastStreet]

20 pts in the first half.. adjustments too late when the Browns had already gone run/conservative.

Baby Blue

I mean, I guess any sub par QB would look like a superstar when you have 4 seconds to throw to Austin Hooper OBJ Jarivs Landry and David Njoku and still throw two picks. 

[AZColt11]

Let me axe you folks sumthin.  Had I told you this team would have a top 10 defense before the start of the season, would you have been happy with that?  Cause they do.  So I'm starting to think of nicknames for the offense.  The defense is fine.  And the ST might be the best unit of the three.

[w87r]

Chances are we will still be #1 Defense after this week.

 

If not, we will still be in top 5.

Mayfield had a 72.7qb rating in the game.

 

Hardly looking like a superstar.

 

We lost by 9. Safety(2) and pick 6(7).

 

Its a tie game.

 

One 3rd and 9 stop away from getting ball down 6 and having a chance to drive and win the game.

 

With most important defensive player out and probably 3rd or 4th most important offensive player out.

Still, nobody has reached the 400 yard mark on this defense.  And they just played arguably a top 5 offense.  And gave up 23 points.  The most they've given up since week 1.

 

How about (in a New York cab driver accent) "Hey, how 'bout a lil' help from the offense" Defense?

I mean I was kind of being sarcastic, but it was very subtle sarcasm.

If thats how u want to look at it.  I see it a different way. They played like trash in the 1st half. It forced Reich to get away from their game plan and lean of Rivers more. Stats dont always tell the story.

Same math we used with vinny last year lol.  You're right tho, aside from rivers it wasn't as bad as it looks.  I'm still optimistic but rivers has to be better.

[Sumo63]

After we win the SB they'll be known as "the blue eyed miracle".

Fair enough.  We see it different ways.  It's a discussion board.  What's new?  LOL
