The fact that some of you don’t understand that context is hilarious. This defense isn’t nearly as bad as they’ve looked against two elite offenses and HOF QB’s

The defense didn't just suddenly get bad.
They haven't won in the postseason with this defense in the entire Reid era, except a wild card game against a joke team quarterbacked by a nobody. AND they own two of the worst postseason collapses in the history of the sport.
They have sucked for 3 years, and they got worse this offseason.
The unit sucks, top to bottom. It's nothing new. It's been flatlining since Houston blew up his knee the first time. Nothing has been done to address it.
What we are seeing is the continuation of a completely consistent pattern of failure on that side of the ball. Everyone who created the turnovers the defense could once hide behind is either gone, or a shell of their former selves.
It takes an incredible amount of homerism and willful ignorance to think that this unit isn't exactly what it has been for years now.
