Dalton wasn't very good last night, but Andy is pretty far down the list of issues.
why are ET and Eric Reed not on this team TODAY?
Dalton looked awful. Some of those passes were right to the defenders. Good new is that he has tons of tape and he's not a bad QB. Just had a bad day in a new system on a new team.
As far and safety (or any other kind of help), why bother at this point? Between Dak's injury, the OL injuries, and the horrible defense at all levels, there really isn't any point in trying to make a run
And I said Andy didn't look good, but he was under assault all night long. That's going to affect any QB.
As for safety, I think you owe it to your fans to not stand pat and try to get better. Again, this team, as crazy as it sounds, is in first place. The division can be won with some gradual improvement as the season goes along. Diggs is going to get better. Chido is going to come back, at some point.
Chido
Diggs
ET and
Eric Reed
is a heck of a lot better than what they are throwing out there now. I think you saw with those first three series that the defense can be serviceable and with some additions, maybe slightly above serviceable. In a division that it looks like the fist one to 7 wins takes the division, you owe it to the fans to give it a shot. I also think that it is reasonable to think that as the year goes on, the defense can get better in a new system after more practice under their belt. I mean guys like Tank, Everson Griffin, A. Smith and R. Gregory coming back, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that this defense can get better with some back end help.
