There's also a little bit of the schedule being a kick in the dick. Our Achilles heel is run defense. Wouldn't you know it, 7 of 10 games have been against top 15 run offenses. ZERO games vs bottom 10 run offenses. Wouldn't you know it, the only 3 non top 15 run offenses (green bay, Detroit, Denver) our defense looked at least semi competent.
It's not an excuse. But it's an explanation. I think we're one of several nfl teams who thought we should build D around speed and many offenses exploited that by building power run offenses.
