What the fuck is right.
The defense gave up tds two games in a row to lose with the game on the line. Right now they look just like some of Mike Zimmer's mediocre defenses. Play good for alot of the game, but when it matters most- melt.
Clearly this wasnt a very good game offensively, but we were WINNING the game again. All the defense has to do is hold the team to no more than a FG, and instead they let the other team drive down the field almost undetered for an easy game winning TD.
Basically Garrett is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt with you people. I would have thrown a couple passes on out next to last possession and done anything to geta first down, but when the QB has a tendency to throw awful picks at the worst times, and people are crying "run the ball more" no matter how stupid the argument is, you get what we got today.
Another team loss, about the only guy who shouldnt get any blame is Dan Bailey. Otherwise, all players AND coaches deserve blame, including Rob Ryan.
Come on dbair. That second to last series was a stinker. Garrett could have accomplished sitting on his itty-bitty lead by movuing the chains. Just short passes, and some runs. You don't run it up the gut 2 straight times with minimal gain and then on an obvious passing down, do a stupid shovel play? That was a wasted series. If he would have moved the ball---go for the score---not saying do a kill shot downfield, but drive the length of the field in a methodical fashion, he would have ate up plenty of clock. Then we could have even settled for a FG and still won the game.
Defense did their part. You hold Brady and the Patriots on the road to just 13 points for 3 quarters, you cannot get on the defense because they faltered. This is all on Garrett on that series. He's done this shit before.
