The offense couldn't stay on the field and without the DEFENSE providing them extra shots, we lose this game.

Plus the game winning forced fumble!!!

KJ Wright Defensive MVP!!!

I agree KJ has been a stud. Getting that stop was huge.

No argument here. Text book bend but don’t break. That 4th down stop might be tied with KJ’s pick for plays of the game.

I really thought both units were bad for 80% of the game and good enough for the other 20%

I agree the defense came up big when they had to. But let's not forget they once again gave up over 400 yards. And yes they gave the offense the chance but the offense still had to do it. So while I agree the defense came up big when needed they also did alot of damage to themselves as did the offense. This may be the one game I can day it took both to win.

So far, we have an equal chance at forcing a punt or forcing a turnover.

This is not sustainable.

If we cannot get a turnover the other team scores.

In the playoffs that is going to burn us bad.

Likely against the Rams as well.

The Vikings have a dangerous air attack, but even so - we are horrific.

We won, due to the greatness of Wilson and the rising greatness of Metcalf.

Let's not pretend the defense did not almost lose this for us.

Don't get me wrong, i think they need a big improvement, but they also need an infusion of Pass-Rushing talent.

Bruce Irvin was likely our best pass rusher, but he's on IR. And as much as i love Quem, he's not the answer.

All we've got is Mayowa, and he's been a Monster, but no DC would look good with him as their #1 rusher.

Bend don't break has worked for 10 years because points are the only thing that matters, but I'd like to see the Offense hold down their end. 0 points a half?

Any defense will get worn out with that kind of offensive production.

Jamal Adams will be the difference for the D going forward. Now if JS could steal us a DE, like he pilfered Marshawn Lynch.
