Long scoring drives and giving up huge plays when it matters most. To be successful, Ryan Nielson apparently needs an elite defensive line that consistently gets pressure without a blitzer. He is not going to get that here. So either he needs to adjust his philosophy to play like a more traditional defense with a mix of blitzes, zone, and man, or he needs to go.

Most of our games this season have had the distinct feel of the opponent easing off the throttle and coasting to the easy victory against a team they knew wouldn't put up a real fight.

If the offense had played better and scored more then so would the opponent.

This is what three years of Baalke GM looks like. There were no jars on the shelf to step in when the big money free agents couldn't be afforded anymore.
