Again, I'm not defending him... but when you have no D-line and a makeshift secondary, I'm just not sure what else we should expect.

He probably does need to go, but his D has played O.K. recently despite injuries. We just came out looking like crap from top to bottom today. Cutler looks disinterested and we're back to running the ball sideways again.

DJ looks pretty bad today.

Again, probably just a coincidence... but our "starting" LBs return... and the defense goes to hell.

I just wish we'd put the LB's back the way they were.

It's the LB's fault for the defense getting torched through the air?

I will say, Slowik's scheme has always sucked. It generates ZERO pressure, and often leaves WR's WIDE OPEN, as evidenced again in today's game.

Hey... Tyler Brayton was a free agent, right?

Good thing we didn't sign him.

I've seen nothing from Slowik that made it worth losing Coyer over.

Never cared for Slowiks no hands D. I never seen a team rely so much on dropped passes like we do.

Agree, but let's be honest... Coyer had much better weapons to work with... as scary as that is to think. Who would have known how talented that 05 defense looked compared to the junk we throw out there these days.

Coyer's squads broke down in big games... in embarrassing fashion. That wasn't all his fault, clearly. But, we've not got about 60% as much talent as we did then, so I'm not sure how we can really evaluate anyone.

No, see.... we won't miss a beat without Hillis. Selvin averages almost as much as him so he MUST be just as useful to the offense!!

Wow, I knew it was only a matter of time before a Slowik apologist would step forward.

I have a hard time buying that. Slowik would have gotten nothing out of that 05 defense. Coyer was able to get them to play at a consistent level. They got shown up in big games, just like we're seeing now. I think that's a product of the talent problem as much as anything.

As much as I'd like to see Slowik go, the front 7 was playing the run pretty well today.

I hope that's a joke, because it's pretty funny.
