Call me delusional, but I'm actually not terribly worried about the defense. When Berry's in the mix, I actually like the starting roster. Of course, it would look that much better w/ Peters.
Two of the best offenses in the league on the road. One is allowed to hold on every play and every important call went in their favor, including a phantom hold that wiped out a defensive TD. Not many teams will get those calls. In fact, soon we'll be getting those calls due to the Mahomes factor. I think as Berry returns and some of the younger players gel, this defense will be slightly better than what we've seen the last few years. And we won a lot of games with those poor defenses and a lesser QB. |

They could leave him in Shitsburgh for all I care.
I'm getting real sick of our defenders missing the ****ing QB every time they have a shot to sack him. All a QB has to do against us is gingerly take one step in any direction and our guys go flying by like a ****ing parasailer with an AGM hellfire missile up their ass. |

I also don’t think this defense will play like a bottom 1/3 defense all year. We aren’t going to be playing against one of the best offenses on the road with a huge lead every single week. The fact that some of you don’t understand that context is hilarious. This defense isn’t nearly as bad as they’ve looked against two elite offenses and HOF QB’s |

A few weeks away? I don't buy that. If that were true then they would have put in on IR with the designation to return.

The Falcons 2016 defense wasn’t good.

Here are our next 6 games.
49ers @ Broncos Jaguars @ Patriots Bengals Broncos Jags, Pats and Bengals are really the only offenses that worry me out of those teams. After that? @ Browns Cardinals Rams - Mexico City @ Raiders Ravens Chargers Seahawks Raiders Rams, Ravens and Chargers will be tougher offenses. And out of all of those teams that we play.....the Jaguars are really the only defense that I could see keeping up with us. |

Our schedule is pretty brutal looking at it after week 2. I'd say the only wins we can truly count on are the Cardinals and we'll beat Denver and Oakland at least once each.

The shining light here is that the Steelers and Chargers have a prolific passing attack that we won't have to face every week.
So no, i don't expect every game to be as ugly for the D as these first two weeks.

Exactly. This is why I think we hold the 49ers to under 24 points.
