Vandy has a far better defense than us this year...that is inarguable whether it's weird or not...our defense just sucks this year. It is what it is at this point, they have not had one single good game, even against the scrubs.
Thus the concern that Simpson is about to throw for 400 and 5+ against our sack-o-taters defense.
I personally think, or I hope, that our defense will play a little better than that, but I totally understand why some do not.
I think they did have good games against the scrubs, we gave up yards and points after subbing everyone out.
However, I knew during the Cuse game when they were moving up and down the field that it wasn't the same as last year. We lost 4 NFL d-linemen and it shows and we are dumber in the back end without Will Brooks and McCoy.
I do think our defense is closer to average than terrible, especially since they can cause so many havoc plays, they should get credit for that. The offense and special teams haven't exactly provided the best complimentary football either.
Ms St - Stayley muffed punt after a 3 and put followed by another miffed punt and kept turning it over to them in our territory.
Ark- couldn't score after the Ross strip sack. Not stepping on their throat up 17. If we just went down there, punched them in the mouth and went back up 17, 41-24 then the story ends up being, "defense holds them to 1 TD after going down 17-10"
Deboar will lite us up a bit, that's a given. They'll March down the field on us a few times. We just have to not shoot ourselves in the foot, then we know that our defense is good for a few big plays and they can get to Simpson. That'll give Joey and the offense a chance to win it for us.
I'm afraid we will continue to make a bunch of dumb mistakes that will coat us a trip to the playoffs.
