I’ve been saying all season our D would be better in December. At times our D looked like 2020 version…but I think now that Quinn has had a full year to get his system working and the results are there. The real bonus was landing a stud like Parsons, Diggs becoming a ballhawking DB…they potentially make us elite a year after being historically bad.
Murray is a real test…but I think this team is up to the challenge. This will be like a home game…
The defense looked exactly like the 2020 version against Denver. That game continues to trouble me as does the defensive performance against the Raiders. I know we’ve gotten players back since then but I won’t be sold on the defense until it proves it can hold up under playoff pressure against a top notch QB. What would really cause this board to completely meltdown is if the defense continues to play great the final two games of the regular season only to collapse in the playoffs.
