If the both of those answers are yes than is the Defense really to blame for the results for either the Eagles game or the Chargers game? Also is it fair to fire someone that's unit has done enough to win 2 out of the first three games? Especially when he has done it without his best player on the field?
No they are not completely blameless but they are no where close to being the main problem on this team. For example when the Defense forces two turnovers(one near midfield and the other in the opponents side of the field) and the offense scores only 3 points off them then the offense deserves more blame for the failures of the team then said Defense.
Here is the the truth about this season; 1.) We should be two and one right now but we have failed to finish off the Chargers and Eagles.. 2.) Even though we are 0-2-1 there have been a lot more positives from this team then there have been Negatives. We are one or two plays from being two and one right now. I think we should be more patient with this team than most on the board are giving them
The defense is one of the main problems. They gave up 175 yards on the ground today. Last years rush defense was historically bad, and this years defense has been worse. That is a major problem. Carson Wentz has been pitiful to start the year and their offensive line isn’t very good (Wentz was sacked 8 times in week one.) Desean Jackson left the game. Goedert left the game. Wentz was throwing to Greg Ward, who was a QB in college, as his main target. I would hope that they could make some plays against a team like that.
Did they play well enough to win? Sure, but when you put context to it, it is a disappointing performance. They still got trashed on the ground, like the first two weeks and the Eagles had a decent shot of winning the game if it wasn’t for some monumental errors on their part at the end.
With how this defense is playing, I am petrified (or intrigued?) to see what the Ravens are going to do us. Lamar Jackson is going to send this defense to the shadow realm.
