Still wasn’t thrilled with the defense today.  Gave up 21 points and forced one (true) turnover, but every red zone drive resulted in a TD and their 4th down conversion success was absurd.   Also, giving up 21 points against a running team trying to shorten the game from jump is meh, fine.

I’ll just have to accept that unless this defense just balls out (like the KC game), I’ll always be frustrated given the investment on that side of the ball at the moment… much of which has been dead weight.

That being said, this was a much improved performance from what we saw against the other two run-centric teams we’ve faced in Tennessee and Indy.  One that killed us with PA/threat of the run and the other with the actual run.

If they can give us this type of performance in the Playoffs against either of those teams and/or NE, we’re likely winning those games.

Nevermind that we left a ton of points on the board in a 33-21 victory with two TD’s taken off the board with drops - one of those TD’s taken off the board again with Darryl Williams just going for a casual stroll upfield for no reason whatsoever.
