Elite Defense

[Vtwin]

They pretty much carried the team all season and got no help from the offense yesterday.

Still kept us in the game, at least for three and a half quarters.

Elite - No. Good - Yes.

Agreed.

Not being able to stop the run was embarrassing yesterday. The DL got absolutely abused.

Watching the defense just sit back on their heels the entire game was sickening. Not once did we try to force the action and pop them in the mouth. In fact, I don't remember a blitz after their first drive.

This is a soft team that continues to wilt when hit in the mouth.

The defense was beatable. The run defense was a mirage...it's not like they shutdown the majority of the teams in the season. 5 of the 6 losses they allowed 100+ yards rushing...it's no surprise McVay knew it was the blueprint to win.
