They're a big part of the problem at the moment. About to be 70+ points in 2 games. And zero turnovers I believe.

Kendricks, Hunter, and Barr have played great. Smith is banged up and not his best outing.
This is getting ugly.

Hunter should start over Griffen until he can prove he won't jump on 3rd down. That's gotta be like 7 or 8 times this year.

These two last games make me worried we will draft defense again instead of OL.

@tmscr

The offense is this teams problem. The defense is the least of the worries. Has the offense even gotten past the 50 this half? How long do you expect this defense to hold up. 3 and out after 3 and out. Still trying to run the ball when the season is on the line, pathetic. Say what you want about the defense, they are the LEAST of the problem.

Well, it is garbage/increase completion percentage time.

Without a first round pick there really is no reason to tank. Besides, they have too many wins already for it to be worth it. However, they have given up.

No argument about the offense, but they've had third stringers starting most of the year. Our defense has been largely intact and haven't had a truly dominating game since October. They aren't blameless in this by any measure. Remember the bears game, the inability to close out the lions games, etc.
