3 losing seasons in 20 years. So bad. We are 4-4 and still have 3 winnable games left
Whose defense would you trade for ours? I'll help you out with a list of defensive rankings:

I agree, what has he been watching!

Not to argue your point LVH but our offensive linemen don't communicate like they use to with the center calling out assignments - how many offensive linemen whiffed their defensive man - I distinctly remember McKinney doing it twice. He was blocking the wrong player who went unblocked on Max for a sack.
With respect to Kansas State, not many Frogs would think they have better talent than TCU.

So you cant even answer the question.
There are 14 defenses better than ours according to the metrics.
So which of those 14 would you rather have?
Or would you rather have a worse defense than ours?
This is why you guys are total idiots. You guys act like we are giving up 700 yards, 70 points every game.
Those Frogs who believe that have their heads in the sand. Not only did KSU beat us, but they also beat OU. It could get ugly in Norman for us.

But you are saying our defense is why we are so bad. I mean with a 15th ranked defense how much better can it get? Yes there is room to improve but if your defense is ranked 15th nationally then obviously there are more problems beyond the defense.

Apparently yes
Whether it has been -2 or -3 in the turnover battle or only scoring 17 against K State, the offense has done a lot to leave the defense no margin for error. Every mistake they make is magnified knowing the offense is going to struggle making up for it. While this is not GP’s best defense ever, I think it would be more that serviceable is we had a good offense.

Glad someone gets it. As bad as our defense has looked by TCU standards, its still a Top 15 defense by national standards. Not everything exists in a vacuum. We are so used to having dominating defenses that any time we give up a score its hell on earth around here.
The days of holding 5 straight MWC opponents to 7 points or less are gone. The game is different. Teams give up points and big plays these days. Even teams with traditionally strong defenses like Alabama, Clemson and LSU have been giving up points this year. Relative to other teams, our defense is still playing pretty well. Its just that its magnified because our offense can not make enough plays and we always seem to be playing from behind.

Read my post above. Everything is relative, nothing exists in a vacuum. We may have given up a lot of yards today and this season, but 115 other teams have given up more. Like I said we are so used to having dominating defenses that no one really knows what truly constitutes a bad defense.
Do SMUs receivers catch the ball or drop it if there’s a chance they could be touched?

This is why I’m frustrated as a TCU fan. Baylor went from absolutely nothing to 8-0 in 2 seasons. What have we done in that time? Fight tooth and nail for 6 wins,apparently, despite recruiting the best that our program ever has.
Too much loyalty to yes-men and too long of a leash to assistant coaches who don’t produce.
I don’t believe for a second that Rhule has a more talented roster than we do but he surely appears to have developed them better than GP and Co.
