The 2016 "Worst Case Scenario" Thread

[TheMalcolmConnection]

OK, so I've been on vacation and just getting back. Totally missed the game, but saw we lost so I'm not rewatching that mess on DVR. Looking at the stats, the Cowboys didn't exactly dominate us offensively, so what happened?!

The blame falls mostly on the defense, but we also had some pretty poor QB play, and once again not really much of a running game.

It was still a bad loss and really this loss started the whole "dumpster fire" thing that's going on and all of the dumpster fire memes that are making their way around the internet concerning our dear old skins.

The problem I think we have now, is that with the defense, KC or McCoy or whomever is going to have to put up 30 + points even for us to have a shot at winning the game. Hence the whole "worst case scenario thread". With this defense I am seeing between 2 and 3 wins with the offense currently the way it is righrt now. If Cousins can get his shit together and be able to put up 30 points every game, then we could surprise some and go 8-8 or 9-7 again, which is probably good enough to make the playoffs

Our defense has a lot of holes and it is not very good. But the offense hasn't been helping the defense. We have a whopping 6 points off turnovers this season. Our 3rd down percentage is around 36%; in two games we have only converted 8 times (out of 22 attempts).

I don't think our offense has a lot of holes, and I think we have the talent for our offense to be able to overcome the holes we have on defense. But the past two games have proven otherwise.

I'm not going to give the defense a pass, and they need to improve. But I expect the offense to play better, and that should be enough to perform better than we have in the past two games.

I agree and essentially said the same thing in another thread. Last week the Skins scored 23 points which was enough to win in 9 other games but the D let a bad Cowboys team score 27. This offense better be firing on all cylinders to score >30 points needed to have a chance to win.
