When they hired Gute I said that it would probably take two years (at least) to fix the defense. They tried to address the secondary this last offseason, presumably this offseason they will focus on the pass rush.

This game with the Redskins so far is also bringing out another concern: That this is a very different team at home and on the road.

Offensive line pretty much blows also
I've never been that impressed with our offensive line. Supposedly we have good pass blockers (when healthy). But IMO, a good offensive line should blow people off the ball and open holes, resulting in a good running game. So maybe they get half credit.

If the Bears take over the division lead this week, is that evidence that we should have gotten Khalil Mack?

Don't need that to realize we should have gotten him....we will stay 2 more corners with those 2 first round picks we kept

Matthews doesn't have any sacks, but we're counting up his roughing the passer penalties instead.

Somewhere, Dom Capers is smiling.
For years, the question was "Is it TT or is it Capers"? We might be getting closer to that answer.
Seriously, I'm far from giving up on Pettine, but it doesn't appear he has all the tools to work with.
As I said earlier, fixing this defense was going to take more than one offseason, unfortunately. Add another year of Rodgers prime lost.

At least this defense gets off the field on 3rd and long. They just give e up homeruns lol I think if we improve the safetys we can be pretty good.

At least if they put flags on the quarterback, there wouldn't be any question if it's a sack or a penalty.

I like that there are adjustments being made after half time. That is new, but until our safeties can fix their coverage issues, and we can play a full 4 quarters, we will struggle.
