Poor tackling, DLIne drove out of position, Dbacks couldnt cover

About the worst overall defensive effort against an average team not named Mich, OSU, Tenn.

Few blitzes or different defensive looks. Turned a below avg passer into Tom Brady

This defense stinks.

 

[CatCoach]

Very unprepared and very poor tackling along with a terrible 1st offensive game plan. Waiting til the 3rd quarter to start playing offense is too big of a whole to get out of.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

This defense stinks.

Worst since….2014?

 

[iahawkeyes17]

This loss is on Parker. Refusal to send pressure. Sticking with Nestor. Haven’t seen this bad of a performance by a cb since moss frosh yr vs Purdue

 

[AckHawk80]

Not one punt.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Poor defensive performance certainly.
Also a poor offensive performance, but you can say that more often than not.

Nestor got absolutely worked tonight. He looked worse than TJ Hall, and that’s saying something.

Yup. He didn't appear anywhere near ready for this. Not often I question PP's decisions, but this one seemed off. Is there really no one else?

Haven’t said this in awhile. This loss is on Parker.

Was deshaun lee injured?

Didn’t watch any of the game but this defense is terrible.

Even they’re not fun to watch.

Offense always sucks.

 

[rfgiowa]

And the cherry on top...AWFUL OFFENSE.

I think if you say what we brought back and “only” lost Cooper this is a shit squad.

As bad as the offense was, the defense was more disappointing. 480 yds. They gave up.

Phil likely made a poor decision with continuing to play Nestor and he's going to have to wear it. This defense does not seem capable of limiting any average to above average offense which seems improbable considering Phil's history.

 

[HawksRule73]

Phil might be the only D coordinator I know that refuses to play his best CB against the opposition best WR. It backfired terribly tonight.
