A big part of it, as has been pointed out, is the offense not doing their job. However, there are also times when the D can't get of the field because of their own lack of execution and that can be frustrating to watch.
Overall though, I would say they've been pretty good and their issues pale in comparison to the offense.
I agree with all of this. I think a major issue is the soft zone coverage.
They just aren't good at getting 3rd down stops.
In the 1st half against the Titans we had them at 2nd and 24 and they eventually converted it. Great defenses don't allow this.
The offense is a major issue. The defense is a minor issue...but still an issue.
