And it is not just one position group. Problems stopping the run. Problems rushing the passer. Problems with tackling. Problems with coverage.
Not going to say we are the worst in the league, but this is not a defense that can win in the postseason.
It doesn't look like a Superbowl winning defense, so all we can do is hope they improve. I'm usually in the superbowl or bust mindset, what else matters, but at this point we can use this part of the season to focus on improving our defense without effect of caring about the win/loss as much. Try a few new things instead of just in practice lol. If the defense were playing better we would be closer to the Browns position of OK we might be able to go .500 without our QB/RB.
