Why is the defense getting a pass?

[Namor]

All I see here is....The offense is horrible...while I do agree...but why is the D getting a pass? The offense ,at least has some excuses.But the D...well..alot of money was put into it and NO HEART....They have been pushed around all year. make me understand how Tanny is the problem on our D being a bunch of bi*****.

I agree: Our defensive line play was horrible. Linebackers were the worse group in the NFL. Zero penetration and zero plays made on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

The defense hasn't changed in 15 years. Even with ZT, Taylor and all those guys, it was never dominate. Blame the Dolphins offense all you want, the Jets almost racked up 400 yards.

They should not get a pass. They were terrible...starting with the DC.

 

[Viggen]

I give them a bit of a pass because they are being rushed on the field because of all the 3 and outs.

Fix that and we'll see.

Oh, and Nolan Carroll is a liability...

Not getting a pass by me. It's just that the O is so damn bad, it's hard to stop harping on it.

 

[Nawledge]

The defense gets a pass because Tannehill doesnt play defense.

The defense gets a pass because they only have gotten drilled in a couple games this year. The last 2 they've given up. 20 or less, those are numbers your offense needs to beat.

When you finish top 10 in Scoring Defense and finish 27th in scoring offense . . . including 7 points in your final 8 quarters . . . why shouldn't the focus be on the offense?

Our rush defense is sickening.

Wv loves this defense, im sure he has 99 reasons why the defense gets a pass!!

Our mike linebacker gets trucked by geno smith and that is not a problem evidently.

Because we didnt lose on defense. The jets had 14 points entering the 4th. The bills had 10 points entering the 4th while we had 0. Lol the offense is just putrid. the defense did enough to keep us in the game. Tannehill kept overthrowing wallace, and wallace kept dropping most balls that came his way. The o-line is attrocious, and sherman must be butt buddies with henning.

I don't see how either Starks or Soliai deserve an insane contract. Whoever resigns for the cheapest, boot the other.

EXACTLY! I've BEEN saying this. Don't bitch about only Sherman. Coyle is a lost cause. He has taken a once tough defense and turned it into a bitch defense. He, as well as Sherman, has to go.

Defense has regressed under Philbin. They get no pass from me. The inability to get Dion Jordan involved is on the coaching staff. Start him over Wheeler for god sakes. We sign 2 LBs because supposably their better pass rushers but yet we blitz them less than dansby and Burnett. We take Taylor and Davis in the early rounds and they haven't made a play all year. The tackling today was atrocious! No effort in what was essentially a playoff game. Not good enough! Clean house!
