Ne def (1 Viewer)

Any other owners nervous about this def moving forward?

The offensive struggles are really starting to hurt the def. Cincinnati is a bad matchup.

Thinking about benching this week for another option and wanted to hear what others are doing.

 
I would have to outright drop in a shallow league. I'm undecided if I want to stick with them or stream.

 
I'm starting em against the Bengals. Defense is just gonna get better as the season progresses imo.

If the offense takes a step forward even more so.

Call me crazy but I have a feeling they come out strong against the Bengals at home this week.

 
I don't want to drop them. I agree with runitup that they will have far more good games than bad. Esp vs their division. I just hate the matchup this week. I can make room by dropping a bum named pierre thomas. Denver and phili are available. Kind of like the idea of pairing ne with denver...

I agree, much better at home - on both sides of he ball.

Biggest thing killing the Pats D atm is they are spending most of the game on the field.

This is exactly what I hope to do (Denver and NE). Will prob ride the pair the rest of the way.

 
I'm sticking with them - #1 DEF in my leagues weeks 1-3 ....... 4 was a dud but even SFO and SEA have dud weeks on DEF

Struggling offense means DEF is on the field more, more chances for INT and sacks, fumbles etc.

Not all points on DEF comes from yardage/points held

 
Well my plan for Denver failed as I was not able to get them. Got phili, but not sure I will actually use them. The more I think about it, the more I think ne bounces back this week

 
I had been starting Patriots, but Bengals were rolling before their bye week, and now they are rested. Better days ahead for Patriots D, but stay away this week.

I doubt many of you have this luxury, but I was able to grab Lions off waiver wire, and will start them. I'm keeping the Patriots rostered for now.

 
I'm bailing after that poop show yesterday.
This league has turned into a running league, and that defense looked so bad against the run how can you trust them? Wilfork can barely move anymore and if they did not have Chandler Jones they would have no pass rush what so ever. They do get Browner back to make that secondary even better, but teams will see what we saw Monday. Keep running the ball and running the ball. Plus with Brady unable to do anything at all on offense, I expect teams to not drift away from the ground game often and will cause this D to look bad and not get many sacks or force many turnovers. They were exposed.

Most teams don't have charles and davis

That makes two of us. I picked them up in my yahoo league since I thought the matchup was tasty against an inept KC offense. They got me a whopping 0 points. We are penalized for yardage against in my league...and considering the chiefs had over 300 yards in the first half, I was doomed. Thank god it was only a 0 for me. Last year we could get negative points from our defense.

Someone just dropped the Bengals D so I swooped in and nabbed them. Pretty sure they won't give up a lot all season.

Belicheck is just silly with his personnel groups. It's backfiring on him. He had Sebastian Vollmer playing D-line Monday night for god's sake! An offensive lineman!

The first three teams were Mia, Min and Oak. Were those any test at all? They did give up yards to 134 yards to Moreno, Min was a mess and just lost Peterson and Oakland is Oakland.

You trust them against Bernard and Hill, especially since they will be able to do it all game because Brady is not getting this team first downs?

 
Someone dropped SF...so I dropped NE for the 9ers (shallow league). Their upcoming schedule doesn't look too great and I can't continue taking negative numbers.

Have to figure out what I can do with Carolina in another...-15 the last 2 weeks.
